July 24/12

Just a quick update of things that have transpired since my last post. Got a call last week from the Cancer Clinic telling me my blood platelet count was extremely low. The normal range is 150 - 400 and mine is a whopping 37! So we did more bloodwork yesterday and will see what the results show in a couple of days. If it drops further, I will have to start getting blood transfusions.

It all makes sense now why I am so totally fatigued, bleed and bruise so easy.I have other symptoms too but won't bore you with them.

My sister Angela is still in the hospital, out of ICU now, but still has a long road ahead of her....again. This was the result of a fall last week where she was found unconscious my myself and Shirley at her apt. She has a fractured skull and has been having numerous seizures since. I will keep you all updated as to the progress of both of us in the coming weeks.

Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. Its been a helluva month!!!

Positive thoughts to my friend and former co-worker, Barry V. and family as he/they battle the Big C at this time also.

Probably against my own better judgement, I have begun volunteering again for Wish Upon a Song 2 fundraising again this year. One of the organizations we are raising funds for is the Brain Tumour Foundation ....so how could I not be involved right:)

Visit my Facebook page or contact me for more details.

Wishing you all.......the best!
