Hello everyone...I wanted to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to the lovely people who sent me a care package.. I was uncertain to name you but am so greatful...I can not express my thanks enough..I am currently watching as my drip slowly flows today but I don't feel so alone today...Tears came to my eyes as I watched my kids get so excited about the package from overseas! They get such a huge kick out of that...Your thoughtfulness will forever be remembered.. Your love and prayers will never be forgotten......THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I am doing well this week and will have a bi-opsy tomorrow on the bladder.. The chemo is not working and the plan is- if this bi-opsy is bad again on Wednesday a small portion of my small intestine will be my new bladder..Its amazing and I am grateful that there is a choice out there to make it so the soft tissue does not continue to spread...Say a small prayer:-6 I am hoping to get home this weekend - but it depends on the surgery..Here is hoping for a strong recovery and turn around time...

Also- if anyone sees Steph - can u give her my email - I have a question about the kidney for her. toadyx4@hotmail.com

Sending all my love....:-4 Dawn

Hiya Mom, was it the parcel from us? It's taken a long time to arrive, hasn't it? I was hoping you had got it okay but didn't want to bother you by keeping on asking if you had received it yet. I knew it would get to you eventually because you had to sign for it. But, wow, it has taken its time! (Perhaps they shipped it in stages by carrier pigeon! hehehe

)

Did you like all the wonderful cards? (Although the Easter card is pretty late now, Lol)

And did your kids enjoy all the English sweets? Which did they like best?

I was so touched when people contacted me and asked me to forward their gifts to you! Forum Garden is such a wonderful place that it can bring strangers together as friends and as such wonderful friends too!

I'd like to name these wonderful people who touched my heart with their overwhelming love, kindness and generosity! They are: sweet and beautiful Betty Boop, generous and thoughtful Arnold Layne and caring and giving Open Mind. And along with many others we all send you our love, thoughts, prayers and very best wishes for your recovery and future good health. I hope all our love and prayers stay with you and help you when you're feeling low and also help you to beat this thing. With great big hugs to you and your family, Mel. xxx :-6

It WAS ours guys! Yay!

Luckily I ensured it was insured but it still took a long time to arrive!

I'm SO glad it helped and your kids enjoyed it too!

Huge hugs to all you guys and to Mom too.
