Big News

Well, it finally happened!!!!! Jake got listed for his liver transplant! We are all excited and scared at the same time. He is pretty high up on the list so the call can come in at any time. It's always a little scarey to go under the knife so all prayers are welcome....for the perfect match, for the strength to endure a difficult surgery and for the surgeons who will be crucial to the success of this transplant.

The other news is that I had a sonogram this week and Violet has indeed shrunk! She has gone from 3.1 to 2.8 to 1.6cm!!!!!!! The doctors never seem to get as excited as I do, but I am thrilled. Two more chemo treatments and I will be ready for surgery....after that trip to Barbados and a few other social engagements! whoopee! We have lots to be thankful for this holiday season and are looking forward to a healthy happy 2008!

Right now, we are in Panama City Beach....having invited ourselves to the New Years party at the Gleasons beach house! You know you are "family" when you can do that! We haven't crashed a party in years and while it takes a little "nerve" to do so, Rosemary makes us feel like we were in on it from the beginning. The house will be full of good friends, good cheer and good wishes.......all the things we wish for all of you! Happy New Year dear friends! It's going to be a great year!
