Sunday

Harry is getting better everyday - food has done more for him than anything else lately. He is looking forward to Wednesday with Benny Grunch and finishing the new Christmas video. I am going to Miami for work until Saturday. So call him up and stop by to visit. Have a great day and I will continue to post during the week...

Thanks for all the holiday wishes...

Shopping & Cooking

After Harry & I had lunch yesterday he went to the Thrift Store and Grocery Store - he calls it exercise - I call it fantastic - he's been inside so long. I then got home from work to a cooked dinner, he was a little tired after all that. Today is a day of rest and tomorrow is a day of Thanksgiving, we surely have a lot to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody..

Dr. Black Visit

Harry saw Dr. Black yesterday and he is doing great he even gained back a couple of pounds. The CT Scan he had a week ago Monday showed that the tumor and lymphnodes are markedly reduced (some have been reduced by half). They did find something they want to look at on his liver - so he will have an MRI in a couple of weeks to find out what it is.

So after many months I am happy to report. Harry is starting to feel like himself again. Yesterday we walked all over the hospital - dropping off little Thanksgiving gifts. Harry cooked our steaks last night and he is going to the thrift store today.

We are so looking forward to the holidays and more continued good news.

Weekend & More

Harry's eating is not a fluke... He has even asked for a steak dinner tonight!. Harry has an appointment with Dr. Black today his medical oncologist. I'll post about what he says later.

Harry is even talking about going to the thrift stores - one of his favorite pastimes. I am hoping that he will start playing the drums at home so he can build up enough energy to play some gigs.


There are sometimes very unintended consequences when this kind of illness strikes, Harry & I are closer than we have ever been. Our family and friends have showed us such love and support. And in the medical community we have been graced with great doctors and caretakers.

I know how lucky Harry and I are to have so many loving and caring people in our lives but I would like to let my sister's and their husbands and my brother and his wife know just how much they have meant to us. You've been constant sources of strength and support for both of us. Karen, Mac, Missy, Raymond, Mike and Michele - I hope you know what you mean - even though I sometimes forget to say thank you. BTW Raymond your tub handle has come in very handy this week as Harry has changed from showers to baths.

To Harry's Cousins - Mike & Joyce and Mike & Jan and their family - Harry is so happy and proud that you are in his life.

To Harry's Mom - Joycelen - I am so happy that the two of you have been re-united.

May God grace all of you with the same gifts he has given us: Harry eating, and family and friends like ours, you are all worth your weight in gold.
Happy Thanksgiving..

Friday was another good day

Harry had pizza, ice cream and chicken and rice and gravy yesterday! I am still crossing my fingers but it seems eating is easier everyday.
