Thanks Donna,
We will be fine, we always seem to make it at the last minute. I sure hope
you are doing better. I saw an update but haven't read it yet, so will do
that in the next few I answer.
Jo Firey just sent me something yesterday. I think she is doing ok. She lost
the newsgroup because of something with the puter or her internet and said
she would try to get back soon. She told me this a month or so ago. I
believe I posted something about it.

Love and hugs Jo

Hi, Sweetie! Thanks so much for asking about us.:)
I am doing fairly well. I'd be better if I could remember to take my Enbrel
on time, but I can't complain. Since I quit working to be a sahm, I'm
feeling pretty good. I think a lot of it is the reduced anxiety level.
Rachel is doing fairly well, too. She has healed beautifully from the VNS
implant, and we are at a level that's sort of a standard, so we're waiting
to see how she does over a long term. The seizures have been greatly
reduced, but she does still have some here and there. The best part is that
she recovers more quickly, and seems brighter.
I hope you are doing well, and enjoying your many nieces and nephews. School
starts next week, and Rach will be taking the bus for the first time ever.
She is thrilled! I will be trying to motivate myself to use my treadmill
every day.:-/
Much love and hugs,
Kelly C.

I haven't updated on Diane W lately and really owe her a phone call. She is
still in rehab and last I heard (last week) getting fed up. Her neuro
finally saw her and agreed that rituxan would be a great choice and she was
to see her rd and see if she would agree. She is still having trouble
standing so can't go home yet. Can walk a bit with the walker in physio and
can transfer to shower chair which is progress. Still having iv's regularly
for this infection and that but the perforation has healed.
In general believe it or not getting slightly better - and I have no doubt
she will get there. The neuro told her to be patient - he expected her to
walk again.
Our house has a conditional sale on it - subject to them selling theirs by
September 15th. We put an offer on a new one out of town yesterday
conditional on that sale. Will post pictures if the offer is accepted. I
am fed up with cleaning the house personally for every showing so the
subject on ours had better go through.
anyhow the housekeeper is here so should hurry up.
