Dana and Chloe are slowly getting over their colds. That’s probably the best news of the week. The worry is thick, Dana’s and, probably, Chloe’s. Chloe’s appetite has gone south and the last two nights she hasn’t been able to keep food down. It would be nice to think that problem was just because she has a bad cold… but we’re not so sure…

Dr. Norwood swears that the tumor isn’t in an area that controls appetite. He said the same thing the last time as well. It’s just very curious that the closer she gets to the need for this surgery the harder it is for her to keep food in and her weight up. It’s tough to watch. She didn’t even have the energy to go to school yesterday.

There have been many fun/nice things happening along the way. There was a surprise package of Cocoa left for the family the other night. That provided something to sip in front of the fireplace. And a friend of Dana’s, Bea, knitted a very nice little blue hat that Chloe fell in love with immediately and hasn’t taken off for very long at all. At work, everyone has been very understanding and supportive. That doesn’t happen at all workplaces.

Dana has been consumed by trying to find things to do with the kids before December 2nd. It seems there are a few movies Chloe wants to see that open soon. Dana’s co-worker, Kiffin, is helping that happen.

We are in deep gratitude for the support, love and help so many are, once again, showing this family. Dana has surrounded herself with friends that know the power of sincerely doing for others in their time of trouble. It’s heartwarming be around this energy.

Blessings,
Ron
