Ok so I have been neglecting things here.  Sorry.  We closed on our house April 13th so between that and wrapping things up with Relay my time has been swallowed up.  Ok so I suppose you want to know how mom is.  She just finished up 12 treatments of radiation to her neck.  She had a new spot there that had developed on the last Pet scan.  Anyways, she powered through that as always.  She had a little bit of fatigue and a sore throat for a bit.  Lisa, her sister was here for 2 weeks to ease mom and dads sadness when we moved out.  Just the other day mom hopped back on her chemo plan.  Her right hip has started hurting a bit.  That is the hip that will be treated soon w/ cementplasty.  It is a bone cement that can be injected into malignant bone to help ease pain and help prevent fracture.  If that were to fracture it would be pretty nasty to repair.  Now that I'm not in the mix at the house I'm not privy to all the daily stuff.  I don't know when her next scan is or her next appt. w/ the Dr. H is.  I would assume soon. 

As for other exciting things going on... hmmmm Ethan turned 7 and lost his front teeth, Mom's birthday was last Sunday, Dads birthday is tomorrow.  My car finally broke down for good last week so dad hooked me up with a new Kia Soul.  Mom's lease was up on her Edge so dad hooked her up w/ a Kia Sorento.  It was a good month for dad.  We love our house, its kinda sad not being w/ mom for our spring finales of our shows.  Me and the boys did go stay the night last Thursday so we could watch them together.  Tomorrow the Lehman Sisters ( Linda and Suzy and Suzy's husband Bill) and Lisa all show up for Relay for Life.  We are Susan's Turquoise Peace Signs and wow how our team has taken off.  We have like 35 team members and I'm captaining the crew.  Crazy.  Friday night is Relay.  We have raised quite a bit of money, I'm thrilled but we could always raise more!  We will be camping out and walking all thru the night as our fight for the cure begins.  If you would like to donate or purchase a luminary in honor of or in memory of someone please visit our site.  We have 24 hours left till relay!  I hope you are all doing well and thank you again for all your love and support.  Mom is rockin it like a star!  Still working and enjoying life!  Happy Birthday Mom!!!  Cheers to Many more!!!!

    I'm Katie, Susan's daughter, taking on a role that I'm much to young for.  Thankfully my mom has shown me how to fight for a parents life and that is what I intend to do for her.
