Shingles

Aaron had a rash on her back which Glenda didn't like the look of- so off to the hospital they went this morning. And shingles is Aaron's latest nuisance. I guess that is better than the staph infection Glenda was worried the rash might be. She also got to have an MRI as well as a CAT scan as she had a new lump the doctors thought might be a blood clot in her lung. And fortunately, that was just some sort of reaction to either the Tarceva or the steroids. Sigh.

Aaron, Glenda and Kyle are off to Colorado in about 10 days to see the rest of the family. Tif will stay here with her dad and the dog moves in with us.

An update

Things have been quiet around the Fritzler household this week. I called for an update just now and they were in the midst of their weekly "Smallville" episode viewing. The big news is that Kyle has been successfully working on potty training.

Aaron and Tiffani went to see "Dracula" last weekend at the Foothills Performing Arts Center complete with Gothic brunch. Aaron and Tif share a love for the macabre, shall we say.

Mary Pat asked how the fund raising is going and how long till Aaron gets to see Mickey. She actually should be able to travel very soon and will be going west to see family in Colorado next month. Glenda, Aaron and Kyle will be out there for a month. I think Tiffani will stay here and maybe alternate between her dad's, a friend and us. All that to say, I really don't know when they will get down to Fl! It gets so cold and miserable here during the winter that it would be a great treat if they could all go down maybe in January or February.

Aaron's doctors at the Fox Care Center here are putting up some posters that Ann Marie made, which is wonderful! Hopefully this might spur the last bit of fundraising on.

I was at the laundromat the other day and saw a woman who had obviously had a double mastectomy and was going through chemo. Her t-shirt said "Cancer, you've picked the wrong bitch". Loved the fighting spirit! I need to find a t-shirt like that for Aaron.

Hallelujah!

It looks like the Tarceva is working! The spot on Aaron's lung is smaller and she doesn't have to see the doctor for a month! Keep your prayers and positive energy coming!!

Photos

Aaron's grandmother, who will always be Purr to me, but is actually Margaret, sent me a lovely letter as well as some photos. The photos were taken during the summer of 2006. I think when Glenda et al went to Colorado to celebrate Purr (Margaret) and Al's 50th wedding anniversary.
Here is Aaron & her Great Aunt Irene.

Here is Glenda with Kyle.

This is Tiffani. She is now 11 going on 18. She's very artistic.
