Update...at last
Sorry for the delay folks. The good news is that the treatments seem to be working. The bad news is that the treatments are still happening and will continue until October of 2006. The doctors are giving Rita 3 weeks in between treatments right now. This has been helping her really get her feet back under her when she is not coming or going to Vanderbilt. We are in constant communication with her doctors and will be keeping a close eye on the results from each and every test. Each treatment requires Rita to be hospitalized for 4-5 days.
Rita will be going back to Vanderbilt August 22nd for a 4-5 day stay while she receives her next treatment. Vanderbilt nurse Kat and I have been planning a water aerobics class at the Dayani Center before she heads up to the "floor" for treatment. We are hoping that several people can attend an impromtu aerobics class on August 22nd around 3:30/4:00pm at the Daynai Center near the Vanderbilt Medical Center. Your attendance would be very appreciated.
Rita reminds us how to live each day to the FULLEST no matter what!
Today, I celebrated my birthday...and my mom, Rita, was the the life of the party...AGAIN! We also sent sweet wishes to Sissy (my mom's mom/my grandmother), as a birthday does not go by that we don't think of her...I was lucky enough to be born on her birthday!
Rita will be at home until she leaves for Vanderbilt on the 22nd. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she receives treatment over the next few months.
Lots of love,

We just found out that not only will Reru be facing two more sessions of chemo, but the doctors are also recommending either one or more of the following: (1) stem cell transplant--which will require another brain surgery; (2)whole brain radiation--which has signifigant side effects; (3) immunotherapy--which also has signifigant side effects including severely compromising her immune system.
Thank you to all of your for you thoughts, concern and prayers. We will definitley be needing them in the next few months.
Love,
