A blog update with a picture...you guessed it, Andrea is back! She and Chris flew in on Friday and are staying until Monday. Saturday night we celebrated Easter with the Willens and tonight we'll celebrate with the Wimmers/Gronottes. In addition to all the family time, there has been a lot of sports to watch. We never know how we're going to get it all in, but somehow we manage to. Today, it's basketball, tennis, and golf!As you can see, yesterday we also made our favorite Easter treats...cornflake and marshmallow nests with M&Ms (similar to Rice Crispy treats). Quite a sticky job, but the pay-off is well worth it.
Once again, the bi-weekly visit with Dr. Bhandari brought no major changes. As of Friday, she had been on the 37.5 mg dose of Sutent for 4 weeks, so she is now off it for one week to allow her body to recover. Her weight and lack of appetite are still an issue. Something's wrong when even ice cream doesn't whet Mom's appetite! However, she has managed to maintain her weight for two weeks. Thank goodness for Ensure and protein powder.
We wish everyone a Happy Easter and a good spring break. Thanks for the continued cards and prayers.

Happy Easter to all of you at the house. I know Linda has been looking forward to this weekend for awhile. Nothing like families to cheer you up! The sunrise this morning was unlike I had never seen....wish you could have seen it! Sue N

Sorry I couldn't see you guys when I dropped off the books yesterday. Sounds like you had a nice Easter weekend together. Safe travels to Andrea and hugs to Linda and Jim!
Happy late Easter. We here in Chicago thought for a moment that you guys would have to build an arc. Leave it to the former priest to screw up biblical stories. Kathy and I speak of you often and hold you in our hearts.
All the Best,
Jack and Kathy
