Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know I just got off the phone with Andrea's husband Steve and she isnt doing well at the moment. She is in the hospital finishing up a round of chemo and she has spiked a high fever. They were supposed to let her go home tomorrow and now that is possibly not going to happen. She could really use all the prayers she can get! If I hear anything else new I will let you know! Steve was concerned about the chemo and wasnt sure how much more she could take...

Hi all,
Just got off the phone with Steve... (Andrea's husband)
Andrea got to come home!!! Yahoo!!!!
The fever has gone down and she got to come home! Unfortuanately she had to miss her Cancer Seminar in Chicago but in her place her mother and sister went. She has been sleeping a lot due to chemo and Steve thinks everything is ok...
That is all the update I have for now!

I'm back! Thank you for your prayers. I've been resting and trying to eat. My girls are with the ex for the weekend. I'm going to lounge around and eat bon bons with guilt-free pleasure.
I love all of you.
Andrea
P.S. My sister said the CCAlliance conf is going great. They are going to have all kinds of info for me when the get back. Knowledge is Power

Ok all,
So my mother (who belongs to this site as well) and I surprised Andrea this weekend and showed up at her house to meet her! It was a total surprise to her. I had called her husband to set everything up and asked him to keep it a secret! He did GREAT!
I made Andrea her scrapbook and rather than mail it to her we decided we wanted to meet her.
She is the sweetest most strong person I have ever met! You just want to scoop her up and keep her forever close to your heart! I had the best 5 hours in a LONG time! She is such a WONDERFUL person and I am so glad I met her.
She has a wishing fountain in her house and my mom and I added some change along with a wish for a long healthy life.
It was the best weekend you all. She is as sweet in real life as she is in person.
Just thought I would pass along some news...
We took some great pictures together too!
Hope all is well with everyone!

Meeting her was amazing...
She is so positive and strong. Even though she is this tiny little thing, her outlook on her situation is amazing. Rather than taking the "Woe is me" route, she is strong and told my mom and I before we left that she thinks she is going to beat this thing and feels good. She is a GREAT mom, a wonderful lady and now, a GREAT friend.
It was so nice to meet her. I feel as though I have known her all my life.. We instantly hit it off. I miss her already and I have only been home a few hours!!! Should anyone want to see pictures, IM me and I will send you a few.... (or email me) I am not going to post any because A. I do not know how to and B. not everyone wants to see them anyway...
Ok, Gotta run.
Kids are calling!

hi,
i went to your moms website to check it out and it is great your uncle was lucky to have a family like you guys and i bet he has enjoyed all of his trips around the globe. i thought i was weird for carrying my fathers ashes around but now i see others do it as well, im just trying to find the right spot to scatter the ashes it has been almost 4 years. was your uncle real sick? i hope he did not suffer because he looks like he was a fun kinda guy. well again hats off to you and your mom for visiting andrea that was great.
