Time does fly!

Hello, everyone!
Linda here... I know it's been a while since we've sent an update and I apologize for that. I'll try to catch you up on the last couple of weeks.
On the health front:
I'm now up to the full dose of Nexavar, which is the drug recommended by the doctor that we visited in Columbus. It seems to be working pretty well now. The one downside is that a side effect of the medicine is blisters on the hands and feet. I have experienced that a little bit, but nothing too traumatic so far. And I still have days when my energy level is very low, but, overall, I think I'm doing a little better than I was a few weeks ago. I just never know from day to day how I'm going to feel. But I have been able to go to dinner and get out once in a while, so that really keeps me going.
On the grandma front:
I can hardly believe that Elliot (the cutest baby in all the world!) is going to be 2 months old tomorrow! Fortunately we have a web cam on our computer, so we've been able to "see" him regularly and how much he has grown. Next Wednesday we are going down to visit them and stay for about 5 days. Can't wait to see them and give Eli a big hug once again.
On the weather front:
Last Sunday's wind storm was certainly a tragedy for many people in our area. Fortunately, we just had lots of debris in the yard and only lost power for about 6 hours. We hope all of you are doing OK now. This type of event certainly makes us grateful for all that we have.
I guess that's it for now. I'll try to be better the next time about the updates.
Love you all!
Linda
