I am sorry to hear about Connie. I am glad that Bob got through the surgery
and hope he will continue to improve.

Hello dear friends,
Bob's surgery went fairly well and he is
home and doing ok. He had the surgery on Thursday and we came home on
Tuesday. He received a bovine valve, so he will have to be careful when
he is moooooving! Went to UCLA yesterday and his platelets are back up
over a million, so he's back on Hydrea and Agrylin. And also, back on
the BMS drug. He was off it for over a month, because of the
surgery. He will have a BMB next month, so hoping it will show him still
to be in remission.
Bob's daughter, Connie, passed away on July 31.
Bob was still in the hospital in Bakersfield, but we had spent a day with her
that week. She was able to see many friends, and all her siblings.
Those she could not see she talked to on the phone and said goodby.
Connie was very well loved and she loved well. Her ashes were put out to
sea last Sunday, just as she wanted. She loved the ocean and the
beach. Bob was able to go to her memorial service, but I'm not sure he
was aware of everything. Maybe that's for the best.
I want to thank
all of you who sent messages. We do so appreciate the support and
prayers and encouragement. It's difficult taking care of Bob because
he's not able to communicate well. So it's important for me to have this
forum.........to read your messages and to glean hope and love from
them. I don't respond very often, but I do think of you all and you are
always in my prayers. I've had the privilege of meeting some of you and
wish I could meet ALL of you! Maybe in the afterlife,
huh??!!
Thanks again................blessed be
nancy and
