Just an FYI..my aunt had that form too and she made it through just fine. I remember her chemo made her sick when she would travel by car so we didn't get to see her at too many family get-to-gethers though.nothing_but_cokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324414515927321453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604246.post-1150112350330854762006-06-12T06:39:00.000-05:002006-06-12T06:39:00.000-05:00Vetta - We all need to try to get together soon!Vetta - We all need to try to get together soon!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321713951006827527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604246.post-1149986231403157992006-06-10T19:37:00.000-05:002006-06-10T19:37:00.000-05:00Susan - At Methodist Hospital, there was a huge di...Susan - At Methodist Hospital, there was a huge display case with a thousand origami cranes that someone (or several people...I can't remember the story).

These are the ones that stand out, but there were tons of them!<BR/><BR/>I convinced the local science musuem to part with a couple of their display garlands of stars so I could hang them in the far corner of his room. <BR/>I should probably admit that most of the really unusual things were from friends of mine, LOL!<BR/><BR/>Some of these things just horrified my brother, esp the pilgrimage one, but it is about 19 years later and we still have him!<BR/><BR/>I still have a few of the stars somewhere if it might help your dad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604246.post-1149853914501736542006-06-09T06:51:00.000-05:002006-06-09T06:51:00.000-05:00Susan - I'll tell him ALL of that.

I have known several people who had that and they recovered just fine.<BR/><BR/>Please let your dad know that we aren't that thrilled about these *little* updates either, some of us would prefer to know much more, maybe daily updates complete with sound bits! ;-) Just joking.<BR/><BR/>I figure in things like this, the more people pulling/praying/thinking of you, the better off you are, so you are really just helping him with these updates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
