A new adventure begins… Around the end of this past August Fred commented that he regretted not being able to attend a Jeep Jamboree this year. Jeep Jamborees are awesome, family-oriented weekend long Jeep outings. They are organized through Jeep Jamboree USA (JJUSA) and take place all over the country. We have been going to...

Thursday: Sept 12, 2019: Chemo Cycle #4 & PB&J It's been a while since we updated about Fred's status. We've been busy playing with food & binge watching Netflix. (The Great British Baking Show is back...) We've also had some great visits and phone calls from friends to keep our spirits high. It's all really... Continue Reading →
Update: Sunday: August 4, 2019: We're back home & feeling better. Here is a recap of Fred's week: So Fred finally got his bed in the Oncology Ward on Wednesday night (7/31).

Update: Wed: July 31, 2019: So… Fred had his CT scan yesterday (Tues: 7/30/18) to see what's been causing his extreme abdominal pain and swelling, and preventing him from eating for the last two weeks.

Thursday: July 25, 2019: Well, we made it through the first week... It wasn't all that pretty... Infusion Day was Thursday, July 18th, and that day went ok. The next two days were not that bad.

Pretty much the medical opinion during that... Continue Reading →
We have been waiting for Fred’s appointment with his oncologist, Dr. Behl, to post an update on Fred’s health.

Monday, June 17, 2019:It feels like we have been busy, but really we have just been in a post vacation stupor. We fumbled our way through the week trying to establish a new routine. It’s actually harder to create a routine without the structure of a job to plan your activities around. Initially it seemed... Continue Reading →
Sunday: June 9, 2019: One good night's sleep later and it all seems like a dream. How is it that when a vacation ends you feel so different the very next day? What is that mystery sensation that goes away? We are still unpacking and it's already a fading memory. This really makes me sad... Continue Reading →
Saturday: June 8, 2019: We made it back home safe and sound just before 1pm today. We drove straight through the morning to get back as quickly as possible. After we parked the RV, we celebrated with salmon burritos from Dos Coyotes for a late lunch. We didn't even unload anything. We just parked the... Continue Reading →
