To know Joey and Kerri is to love them. The news of both of them being diagnosed with cancer is heartbreaking.

Today has been on of the busiest and most productive days yet. All started with a great nights sleep for Joey and a horrible one for me. I wake up anytime between 12:30 and 2am, toss and turn 'til about 5 then fall back to sleep only to hear the boys getting ready for work/school at 7. This morning my day was planned by 4:30am, so we ended up hitting the road early. Had to drag Joey out of bed, but he was glad I did. We did a few errands, visited with a few friends, worked for a couple of hours, then had our dear friend Fa. Bockus come to the house to give us communion before he heads off for his operation next week. Whew!! (He came down to give us communion before both of our operations, so it was only fitting he did it before his!!:))
Did get some news yesterday...finally got my appt with my oncologist here. Next Fri. at 11. Looking so forward to getting the answers we've been waiting for for so long. What type of chemo will I get, when do I start and how long will it be for?? All questions that have been filling our minds. We head to Portland Tues & Wed for Joeys answers and my 1st expansion. Busy week coming up!
With a couple of graduation parties to attend this weekend, I think I'll make this short and sweet. We need our rest, so off to watch the Red Sox in bed!
Until next time...God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...

  1. Hey Joe and Kerry just checking in. Kerry I'm glad that you will be doing the pills only that's great news. Joe you don't need that old gal bladder anyway brother. Your doing great Joe you have come a long way I could see that on our visit. The people I have known that have had gal bladder problems felt like crap until it was removed and they didn't have to go through what you have. I think this is the last hurdle. We continue to pray for you two!

    Love Jim and Linda

  6. Hi all! I am sorry to hear about Joey :( but will continue to send good thoughts! Glad to hear you are doing great Kerri! Here is some news for Joey - although he probably already knows...We had a great end to the Dedham Demons baseball season! The boys won 10-8 in an extra inning. The softball team didnt have as good luck - losing by one run in two extra innings - but what a game. That Jen Carlson is quite a coach! It was wonderful to see Caleb at school with the jazz band. I got a wonderful Caleb hug! I'm sending hugs all around right now--did you get them?

  7. Hello there!!

    Your are on my mind, so thought I'd drop a line or two just to check in with you! This is going to be quite a week for you both! Glad things have balanced off for a bit for you. Routine is good..... keeps you motivated and focused on LIVING and doing the things you NORMALLY would, which for you two is always running on a tight schedule! (what is Normal anyway?!) Happy to hear things are going pretty well. Hope to get a chance to see you soon!

    Love always

  8. You are all thought of more than you know. Sorry to hear that Joey needs gallbladder surgery, I'm sure it's hard not to get discouraged. One day at a time......does he need me to come and read to him?????
    XOXO, Bunny
