Update

Well, it's been a couple weeks since I've posted... yes, I'm still here. I started back to class last week and it's been busy lining up times to go see surgeries and extra visits. This week I've been driving my mom the 2 hours between her house and Dallas in order for her to get a 15 min. radiation treatment. It does seem silly, but hopefully this will keep her from having surgery and then needing a prosthetic nose. She has squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) that took a fever blister and made it grow on the bottom of her nose and her upper lip. It looks like a psyco wart kind of. We're praying that this works. She has 6 weeks of radaition treatment (5 weeks left after tomorrow) everyday. Please keep her in your prayers.

My dad is doing alright. I've spent some time with him this week and he misses his girlfriend, Kathleen, but he seems to be dealing with it better than he would have a few years ago. He takes to drinking sometimes, but not as often as in the past.

Everything else is going good! I'm trying to be there for my parents and give them any needed support. I can't wait till some of the excitement that they have going on dies down. Please keep them both in your prayers. I'm out-- Laura
