Belated~ Birthdays and Updates!!!!

It sucks to start out these posts with an apology, but alas, I apologize for those of you who stay mostly updated via this blog.  I guess I live in a world of "no news is good news", but I know to some "no news" just makes you worry!


Julie and Jeff celebrated birthdays earlier in the month!  We had a big Mexican menu at Mimi's (Megan's) house!  The food was heavenly!  All the kids were there, and that is Jeff's Julie's favorite!  They ran in circles around the house.  Tried to scare the little ones with a crazy monkey mask, and some slathering of Mimi's lip gloss happened in her bathroom!  Nobody puts on lipstick like Evy Jane Frogley!

Jeff and Julie stayed as long as they could before our crazy partying was too much for their old bones!


(Sure Julie, blame it on the chemo)


Julie decided to change her Oncologist.  It was not a decision she made lightly either.  She wanted to find someone who she felt was a better fit with her approach to healing.  We appreciate all 
Dr. Zuckerman did for Julie! 
She is now seeing Dr. Christian Alluri.  She, Megan and Zack met with him earlier this week.  They really liked him, and his nurse.  

Julie received some comforting news.  The cancer in her colon, and liver have shrunk since getting chemo.  That is wonderful news, but please do not think it's a cure.  If anything this has blessed Julie with more time, and that, is what we ask for more than anything.  

Her spirits are up, she played board games with Mason on her birthday, Santa brought her an Ipad (early),  she's been going to Caitlin's basketball games, she was able to take her nephew Burke (my youngest) on a date to the Boise Library on his 3rd birthday,  AND SHE VOTED!!!  The last one is just plain crazy if you ask me!!!  

Thank you for your continued support for Julie, Jeff and their children.  We are looking forward to the holidays with them.  And many more after that!  

Send Julie a note!  Please!  She loves them!
