Grateful

One year of defunct-ness would make a good time to start blogging again, right? Anyone there? :)

After my last post, my brother, Tim, was soon diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He had 12 treatments of chemotherapy, each 2 weeks apart. His last treatment was on October 28, 2008. And about one week before we all gathered for Thanksgiving, he received his scan results of "all clear."

I cannot believe it was only one year ago, because those six months felt like forever. I am so grateful that he is healthy. And I am thankful for the prayers and thoughts of my online friends. Through a few tweets and Flickr photos, you all knew what was going on and made your support known... Thank you.

A little prayer for Tim

My brother, Tim, saw a doctor today for a lump in his neck - similar to a swollen gland nodule - that's been bothering him lately. They immediately scheduled a CT scan and it'll be biopsied tomorrow. I heard of this second-hand, from mom; but from what I can tell, he's rather emotional and shaken up. Please keep Tim in your prayers tomorrow, as he undergoes this testing.

Thanks.

"Mom time" has been had

I needed a "get away," so I drove up to Minnesota to see my folks for the weekend. Nana met their new dog, Millie. Let's just say they "like" each other from a distance. :)
