What can I say......I've been Gardening????

It has been a busy spring and start of the summer. The kids both got great report cards - a big thanks to all their teachers for the guidance, understanding, patience and love! Yes Love! Jen will be going into grade 6 and Kris into grade 4! I remember their first days of preschool, I cried all the way home after dropping Jen off, part of the reason was that Kris was sitting is his car seat asking "why you crying momma? Where JenJen go?",which only made things worse! How they grow up so fast is beyond words. We were delighted to be able to participate in the Spring Sprint once again this year. It is a walk to raise money for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. Our team the Foofighters raised around $4,000.00 - thanks to all our generous supporters and walkers that joined us we had good weather and fun was had by all! I have been feeling good. I get tired easily but according to my 40 something friends that is supposed to be normal! I did manage to get the flower beds and pots planted with a lot more energy than last year. It is amazing what can happen to a person over 19 months. It has been a crazy day today. Jen has been feeling unwell for a few days. She let me listen to her chest and she had crackles to her right base so we few out the door to a last minute appointment with a pediatrician. She had an x-ray which confirmed a RLL pneumonia and she has started her antibiotics. We came home and Doug flew out the door to get the babysitter and we headed out to CancerCare. My MRI is basically unchanged and my next MRI will be in 3 months. My platelets on the other hand are sitting at 75 which is great for me! Have a safe and relaxing summer. I will not make any promises as to when the next posting will be, as we plan to enjoy summer! Hope to see many of you! Thanks again for all the support,love and prayers that come our way, Love, Karen
