Hump Day Victories of Week Gone Past 5 April 2014

Another week and another set of wins.  Lets start off with the obvious.  It is Wednesday and I am actually getting this out on time.  So whohoo for that bit of awesomeness.  It was touch and go there for a moment but I will get on that later.  I was way off my game last week and posted late but I gave is a 24 hour cooling off period before asking each and every one of you to share your good news.  And you came through, so here it goes.

Good News for the Week of 5 April 2014

  • My doc reports that the chemotherapy is working and has reduced my anti-biotics to 3 days a week.  Two more hits of chemo and I am off to transplant.
  • Jen reports that her doc did not send her to the hospital which means the leg is on the mend.  
  • Donna celebrated the beautiful day and the wonderful spring like weather.  I did the same.
  • Danielle's mom is back a home enjoying her warm Pepsi and is at home recovering from her surgeries.  To top it off the doc says that her mom is cancer free.  That is totally wicked, awesome.
  • Susan got here stuffed microbe from Helen's company.  It was warm out that day.  She also reports "I'm sad for coworkers loses of loved ones at work, but it is nice to see how everyone pulls together to let them know we care and are there for them."
  • Niny reminds us that Spring is actually coming.  It is about time.
  • Helen is glad to get the chance to see me on Sunday as well as other brothers.  We all had a good time at brunch and the winery. 
  • Christinia passed here board exams and is a Board Certified CMNT. Also, her fuzz is returning from spring break in NM.  And the Kenwick lions are 7-0!  
  • Carolyn went for her first bike ride with TnT and didn't fall.  Those zero mile an hour crashes can be very tough to take.
  • Pam had a successful yard sale at her moms the other day.  Sold alot of stuff and it was fun.  Mathew had his lemonade stand and though it was not a warm day, he did rather well.
  • Josie had a great trip to Key West last week.  I wish I could trip and fall into Key West soon.
  • Donna is excited for the Hot Chocolate 15k with her peeps on Sunday.  I will be out there soon with you guys just for a run and a chat.
  • Maggie reports "Went to a bead store that is closing , got lots of good deals.enjoyed the day with my good friend and kumihimo partner Nancy."  Kumihimo is an obsession bordering on addiction.  
Well, I could not have asked for a better batch of good news.  Our victories are getting greater as the weeks go along.  Perhaps you may feel like each week needs to better than the rest.  Don't let this hold you back.  Good news is good news and we need to celebrate that all by itself.  Keep it up. It warms my heart to have you share with not only me but with everyone else.  I may even, one day, encourage you to reach out to your friends outside of my network to contribute.  This is bigger than all of us.  Thanks so much.
