I don’t even know what day it is but we received totally great news this week. Right to the point – the chemo is working, Drake’s tumors are shrinking. That is about all we know (or I know) at this point. And at this point, that is good enough for me. I will just take that good news and revel in it for a few days.
As many of you know, my grandson Drake was diagnosed with cancer when he was just 10 months old. He had been in remission for about 10 months this past January (2009) when the ugly, nasty, “c” word came back. I previously tried to explain his story as best I could but sometimes I don’t know where to begin!
To add more challenge to the family, my daughter is expecting a new baby the first week of May. Finally, she can be excited about the anticipation of a new baby girl!
So much is going on I haven’t had 5 continuous minutes to put together. I have had computer/internet/network problems all over the place – work, home, friends, family. I used to like working on computers! Well, it’s back to business.
Toodles – Blog Happy!

Please let Drake know I read his story when you posted it previously and this year I am hitting the streets for the children. I am doing a Half Marathon for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation to help raise money for a cure of blood cancers and for family services.
Hang in there Drake!!!! I am going to continue to prayer for full recovery:)

Hi Ian:
Thank you, It is good news for now. He still has a long tough road but we can at least let out our breath for a bit. He’s quite a trooper!
Danielle:
I couldn’t have said it better myself! Keep the prayers coming people!
Debo:
Thank you and yes, most of all, Thank God! I will definitely let the little guy know your thoughts are with him and his family. On their behalf and all families enduring this challenge, thank you. So many people think “someone else” will do it. That is simply not true. I know I have often thought – what difference does one person make? – I am here to tell you one person makes all the difference in the world. Most people think of the patient and only the patient but really the whole family is affected. The family has enough to think about with the care of their family member who is ill. Of course there are other stresses to think about and if they can get help with that, it makes all the difference! Thank you again for contributing…
oh wow, this is great news! glad the tumors are shrinking.
and congrats on the new addition to the family.

I just went back to Debo Hobo’s top five blogs post and saw your comments there. Sorry to hear that you don’t like turkey cake! LOL. But your little Drake is in my thoughts and prayers, regardless! I am glad Debo pointed out some great blogs and I’m sorry that I’m only just now getting around to checking them out. But hey, I’m here now right?
Hi Teeni!
Welcome. Glad to see you stopped by. Thank you for your kind words for Drake. He is quite amazing. Monday is going to be a big day for him and the rest of the family so your prayers are very appreciated. Thank you again.
