Merry Christmas

Good morning to all;

At the last minute we decided to head to Lafayette for gumbo with my sisters, their families and my godchild today - then onto Gonzales tonight for a Ravain Christmas.. then home to get the house ready for Santa Claus - who is arriving on Saturday this year.

Harry had his stitches out on Tuesday, he had a little spill about 10 days ago at the bank and had 6 stitches in his chin - but they are gone now.

We hope all of you are celebrating the joy of the season with those who are closest to you..

My Christmas Party - Sat. Dec 13th - Hotel Monteleone

Vist to Dr. Black & the Holidays

We saw Harry's medical oncologist on Friday and he said that if he did not know Harry and saw the MRI report - he would say that the patient was a diabetic that did not have it under control. Which he did not for a very long time - so we are very happy with that news.

The next step is a PET Fusion scan in January and Doctor appointments in January - so he is free and clear until then.

SO that means we can truly celebrate the Holidays and only be concerned with Friends and Family.

In fact Harry & I went to my company Christmas Party last night at the Hotel Monteleone. It was the first time he was able to attend my party. We had a great time.

So if I do not post quite as much over the next few weeks - don't worry - we'll just be celebrating the gift we have been given and enjoying the company of friends and family.

May you and your family be as blessed as Harry and I have been this year.

Merry Christmas!

MRI - Doctor Update

Harry had an MRI yesterday to see if the spot on his liver was cancerous,, I am very happy to report that we just got back from Dr. Monsour's office and the liver is clear. It is not cancerous.. Another early Christmas Present..
He has another appointment with his medical oncologist tomorrow - but it looks like we can enjoy the holidays without any obstacles...........

Merry Christmas Everybody...

Saturday

This was taken on Saturday afternoon at the Barnes and Noble on the West Bank. He sat in for 1 set - but he played great and sounded great. His Mom was even there to witness. Then we went to the Besh Steakhouse at Harrah's and had a fabulous dinner.

Sunday we set up the Christmas Tree and will spend the rest of the week decorating for family and friends... But to be honest with you I got my Christmas present on Saturday.. just watching him play..

Friday -

I spoke with Harry last night and he sounded great. I fly home tomorrow morning and we are planning to go to a Benny Grunch gig so he can sit in for a while. But otherwise he is in a great mood - so if you have not called him lately - please do..

Thanks for all the support..

Thursday

I am still in Miami but talking to Harry everyday - he is doing very well. Yesterday he and his Cousin Mike went

Then they went to my favorite restaurant Mandina's and Harry had an Oyster PoBoy - he is looking forward to raw oysters he just can't have them right now...

He was a little tired last night - but he seems to be able to do a little more each day.

He has an MRI next Wednesday and then Dr. Monsour on Thursday and Dr. Black on Friday.

More when I have more..............
