2 Weeks

For all of you who know about Shannon's Aunt Carolyn. Here is an update. Back in October 2008 Carolyn was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer. She had a large tumor in her stomach and stomach lining. After finding out the news, she went to VA to live with her sisters . There she decided to start treatment. Things were looking good. The tumor was shrinking and she was getting stronger. In the last 2 months she had took a decline. She started to get blood transfusions weekly and switched from a 6hr Chemo treatment to a pill form. We got some disturbing news last night. The doctors told her sister ( Ruth) that there isn't anything else they can do for her and that she doesn't have that much longer.
We were planning a 2 week road trip Feb14th-28th to see her and the rest of our family. We now bumped it up to this Monday(9th).
Carolyn is like a 2nd Mother to Shannon . She has no children and Shannon is like her son.
I just ask that you would keep her in your prayers. I just hope she holds out long enough for us to make it there.
Thanks you for all your warm thoughts and prayers!

Bowling for a Cure!

On January 25th, 7 of us got together and participated in Strike out with Alzheimer's! It was so much fun. Last year , some of us did the walk. So we wanted to change it up a bit and thought bowling for a cure would be fun too! Vincent sure loved watching the bowling balls fly!
