Rest & Recovery

Hi everyone, just thought I would give you an update on the latest news. Angie is resting and reocvering this week after receiving chemo treatments last week. She received the same chemo treatment as the last round at the hospital last Wed-Sat. She has tolerated the treatment pretty well and is relaxing at home this week. She is experiencing some fatigue and is losing her hair now, but we are taking that as a good sign that the agressive chemo treatments are continuing to work well, helping to shrink the tumors. She will be recovering this week and next, before proceeding on to the next round of treatments. The family had some great moments together in the Colorado sunshine this last weekend on Saturday, before a cold-front moved in on Sunday.

We would also like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have been helping us out in various ways...The Purple Popsicle Sunday fundraiser was a great success! Thanks to all of you who took the time to come by and share a cinnamon roll or poposicle Sunday at Church with us. The donations collected are helping us to offset some of the hospital bills-we are so very grateful for all of the support you have given us! A special thank you also to all of you who helped plan, organize and work during the event-you have really made a difference for us and our family. Thanks to all who have provided food, rides for the kids and your time to help us out in so many ways.. May God bless all of you, we appreciate your continuing prayers and support for a miracle! Thank you!!!! Love Angie and Rick

Great to hear you guys are at home and able to rest and recover and be with your family. I'll continue to pray that you may do more of that. We are still thinking about you and praying here in Kentucky.

Hello Angie and Rick. Just wanted to say "hello" and let you know that we think about you and pray for you every day. Let me know if there's anything I can do. I look forward to helping clean up your yard and other spring cleaning.
