Getting better everyday!

I guess you have figured out that if I don't blog everything is going ok, and that is true. I will try to do better. I have heard from many people that they look forward to and even miss my blog and I have heard from others that they have stopped checking it because I never update - hopefully I can please everyone (or most) now.

Peter continues to get better everyday. Our next clinic appt. is not until July 10th and we are hoping they will discontinue some of his meds then. His legs still swell daily from the knees down so he wears the elastic stockings everyday. He may have to have some testing done next time we are in Durham to see if they can figure out why this has persisted for so long. His strength is improving though not as fast as we would like. He tripped in the driveway last week and went down face first. We went to the ER and thankfully nothing was broken - his head is too hard to break! He did end up with 2 black eyes, a purple/red nose, a goose egg above one eye and bruising in spots down to his chin. He is not a pretty picture. The chiropractor has been using electrical pulses to help the bruising go away and it seems to be helping.

Peter continues to work from home except for Monday afternoons when I drop him off for staff meetings and stuff. All seems to be going well with that. Maybe he can return to the office full time this fall.

Next weekend we are taking the puppies and driving to Altanta to visit my mother. Peter's family should be here to visit some time in July or August.

The puppies continue to grow and keep us busy. I think they have doubled in size since we got them. Whoopie is doing better in the house training dept. has trouble calming herself down. Lucy is very laid back so we refer to them as "Lazy Lucy" and "Wound Up Whoopie". They play well together and are just learning what their voices sound like. They are 9 weeks old today!

I have started training with the Leukemia Society's Team in Training program. I plan to walk the "City of the Oaks Marathon/Half-Marathon" in Raleigh, NC on November 2. I will be fundraising for the Society and would love your support. You can go to my fundraising website and donate online - it is quick and easy. The address is:

Thanks in advance for your support! The LLS benefits financially and I get a morale boost and incentive to keep on training.
