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

Thanks for the update, I've been thinking about you. Also, I keep meaning to tell you I had fun shopping for the house! I've always been good at spending money. ;)
You are right, Elliot is the cutest baby in the whole world. He is also quite entertaining. Look forward to seeing you next week.
Love,
Susan
So glad to hear from you Linda. All your friends north of the border hope you continue to feel better on this new drug.
We are thinking of you (and Jim and Eli) constantly and look forward to the blog updates (Berta has gotten very computer savvy lately..... checks the blog three times a day !!).
Eli is definitely a cutie, and he has brought you so much joy in only a few short months. Have a great visit next week.
Love and prayers
Berta & Greg

Dear Linda,
I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing, so I checked the blog. Sorry it has been so long. By the way, your grandson is gorgeous; you're right! I pray that this new drug will be a wonderful drug for you.
Hang in there! Your spirit is an inspiration that makes me sorry we haven't spent any time together since TMC. My school year is busy as usual but very rewarding.
Good luck and I will certainly keep you in my prayers. Enjoy Elliot!
Love,
Jody Meyer
Hey Linda! We heard you had a great trip to Wilmington to see Eli and family. That's the best news we could get. See you soon for the month of the Willen's... love Eleanor and Adam
Hey Jim and Linda,
Haven't written in awhile - you know how life can just get busy sometimes.
Your grandson is so adorable. Glad to hear you had a good trip. Also glad to hear the new drug is helping.
As always, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love ya,
Judy Bosse
