Happy New Year

2007 has been a very tough year, beginning with Erika's death in January and then Alese Coco's in May, plus many, many others. We know that Adrienne continues to beat the odds and are forever thankful for that. As her cancer progresses, we become more and more fearful yet at the same time, we are confident that a cure will be available in the not too distant future.

Adrienne had a rough few days with her stomach after the chemo. She had gained weight earlier in the year on the valproic acid but has since lost that and more. She seems to be eating a bit better the last few days but not enough to make up for the prior weight loss. Besides her stomach, she is feeling well, her blood counts are good, and she's actually sleeping much less than when she arrived home from New York.

Tomorrow, New Years Day, we are driving to Santa Barbara, taking care to avoid the Rose Bowl. We'll spend a few days with Daniel and then take Adrienne for chemo on the way back. Tonight, we're also avoiding the strip since 300,000 people have come to LV for New Years.
