Founding Fathers of Steph's Fan Club

You should have seen Steph when she was reading the email and looking through the pictures that were sent to her yesterday. It was a great thing to do and Stephanie was truly touched and overcome with emotion. The first picture is Tom. He used to work with Steph. The second is Steph's boss Kelly and his son Dane. She is always talking about how much she loves Dano! (Sorry Kelly, she doesn't have exactly the same level of affection for you!) The last picture on the left is Nelson and Lisa. Stephanie has working with Nelson for the last nine years. I know these are four guys that Steph has really enjoyed having as part of her life. I for one am glad that when she is not around me, she can be surrounded by such great people!

This Thursday is Steph's next treatment. The first one was a little tougher than expected so we are not looking forward to the next one at all. I guess we are in that we will then be able to say, two down and four to go. Steph was just looking at the timeframe for the next few. It appears to be very good timing. The next treatment will fall just after Memorial weekend and then just after July 4th and then just after her birthday. That means that she will probably feel her best for these holidays (including her birthday which is a holiday I celebrate).

NEXT STEP: BRAC Test has to be redone due to some insurance issues. #2 chemo treatment is Thursday, May 10th.

PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray that the BRAC Test results come back quickly and with good news. Also, Stephanie is coming up on her first Mother's Day with Levi outside the womb. I made travel arrangements well in advance and did not realize what that Sunday was. I leave town first thing Sunday morning. :-( Please pray that she not only feels good on Mother's Day, but also pray that she has a good Mother's Day!!!

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. We can't even begin to explain how much it means to us.
