There is good news and 2 bits of not so good news and then some more good news.
The good news is that the chemo Aaron has been on has kept the new mass from growing. Not so good is that they found a small spot on her liver. But the chemo may be keeping that at bay as well. And not so good news # 2 is that she somehow managed to break her foot - without actually doing anything that would ordinarily break a foot. Aaron and the kids have temporarily moved in with Glenda as Glenda's apartment only as 5 or so steps to conquer- and Aaron's old apartment was on the second floor. The second bit of good news is that Aaron found a three bedroom apartment on a ground floor. The apartment is apparently beautiful and well maintained. If you don't live in a small college town, you may not realize that this is a major find. It is a HUGE deal here. It sounds like it will be a good place to live with a good landlord. They will be moving in a couple of weeks.
Last night in Oneonta, the first ever SUNY Oneonta/Hartwick College Relay for Life was held at the Dewar Arena. I am pleased to say that my team - composed of co-workers - came in second place with the amount of money we raised; over $4500! Three of us managed to stay the night and I think we were all amazed at the amount of energy the college students had at 5:30 this morning. The event as a whole raised close to $50,000 and apparently was one of the best inaugural college events (for comparable sized colleges) that the American Cancer Society has seen. I had hoped Aaron would be able to participate in the survivor lap, but she has the flu. It was an emotional moment as the participants cheered and clapped for the survivors as they made their way around the arena.
