"Significant Shrinkage" !!!!!!

Hi Everyone, Just a quick note tonight from the hospital...The CT Scan today to determine Angie's flank pain has revealed that the cancer has shrunk significantly in only two weeks! The doctor was excited to tell us the great news. The cancer and tumors have all shrunk down since the most recent chemotherapy treatments! We are all praising God, hugging and celebrating tonight in Angie's room tonight.

It has been a long hospital stay, but Angie is in great spirits tonight. Our prayers are all working, let's keep them up and help Angie kick this stuff while she has it on the ropes!!! Hopefully we can have her home very soon. Miracles do happen!!

Love, Rick

I will praise God for the good news and for lots more positive results to continue. You both have been amazing this year.

Laura Blockey said...: Congratulations Rick! I know its been a hard journey for you to complete this goal, in the face of all the changes in your life over the last 7 months. I know when I talked to Angie she really wanted this for you, so its no surprise she was able to summon the strength to be there for you at your graduation.

I'm glad that the "off-the-charts" drugs seem to be helping some of the awful side affects of the chemo. We are all praying that these shrunken/weakened tumors will not receive their final blow and will not return!

Take care of yourselves and give Angie, and the kids a big hug from us!; May 15, 2008 at 7:22 AM

Sarah Clinite said...: Go Angie, go Angie! (I'm dancing in my chair as I shout this) More prayers are on the way for this cancer to get gone already, and for you to go home soon. Keep taking those drugs, and eating purple popsicles!

Love you!

Angela's life

Angela Fooshee March 15, 1972 – June 23, 2008

Age: 36

Residence: Greeley, Colorado

Tribute: Angela Kelley Fooshee was born in Robbinsdale, Minnesota to James Patrick and Kathleen Sue (Lamoureux) Wurth. Her natural passion for life shown through the twinkle in her eyes. She was driven by her love of family and nature. Camping, playing games and telling stories around the campfire, hiking, watching the sunset (sunrise was much too early), and stopping to smell the flowers were just a few of her favorite things. She was a quiet thrill-seeker. There was never a roller coaster too high. She loved poetry, music, and enjoyed dancing with all her heart. Her traditional values inspired her to create countless family memories and crab wedges for everyone. When it came to holidays, she made sure that we had all the festive food, decorations, activities and games to ensure a lifetime of memories.

Compassion for others came naturally to her. She always looked for the beauty in life, in people, and in nature. Her kind, gentle manner and her playful nature made her the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend anyone could ever wish for. She was a natural caretaker, always looking out for the needs of others before her own. She cherished her family and friends. Angie truly made our world a better place.

Mrs. Fooshee touched many hearts during her nine years as an elementary teacher. She enjoyed making a difference in the lives of her students and in the world around her. But she was more than a teacher of children; she taught ALL of us how to be thankful and grateful, and to trust in God completely. Her journey through life inspired all of us.

Mrs. Fooshee died on Monday, June 23, 2008 at North Colorado Medical Center Hospice and Palliative Care of Greeley. Survivors: Her husband, Richard L. Fooshee; daughter, Madelynn Fooshee; son, Jacob Fooshee, all of Greeley; her parents, Jim and Kathy Wurth of Berthoud, Colorado; two siblings, Brian Wurth and wife Helene of Fort Collins, Colorado, Kelsey Wurth of Berthoud; grandparents, Royal and Betty Lamoureux of Loveland, Colorado.

Services: 10:00 a.m. Monday, June 30, 2008 at Our Savior’s Church in Greeley.

Internment: Estes Valley Memorial Gardens, Estes Park, Colorado
