With growth and change comes apprehension and fear

I will be the first to agree. This winter/spring sucks (here in Minnesota)!!! Global Warming appears to be showing the beginning of her wrath for our abuse of our beautiful planet. It's been months of snow, cold, and minimal sunshine at best. We have all felt it many of my friends agree with me that the lingering winter and the constant irony of "winter storms" (even though it's now officially spring!) has left us all feeling a little more down that usual.

My mom is no exception. Though she is still doing as best as she can with her current remission, her cell counts are now plateauing and her kidneys continue to be naughty (their counts being too high for her to maintain the regular levels of her anti-fungal and anti-cancer meds). She's now on the minimal dose of both and we are all praying that her body will behave itself.

In the mean time she finds herself alone frequently missing the company of her sister and volunteers around her. Most of us are now back to full health and well-adjusted post-flu and cold season. If you aren't sending lots of prayers of healing your way! Needless to say mom would LOVE some socializing. So if you have time for a phone call or even a cup of coffee I am sure she would appreciate the moment shared.

Hopefully will be around a little bit more myself now that the weather is less threatening.

Lots of love to all of you! And happy Spring!
