Long-awaited update!

(long hiatus in posts due to exhausting schedule on the part of the bloggers - sorry for the wait!)
Mom/Kathy and Dad/Jack met Susan & Nicholas for brunch a few weeks ago at Merwin's Wharf, in the Metroparks along the riverfront. They had a great time chatting, watching the traffic on the river, and enjoying great food.
Mom/Kathy has only two more chemo visits to go! Woo-hoo! As long as platelet levels stay high, she'll be finished on September 23rd! Party time!!!
Genetic testing is in process - long wait for results, but then we'll know what the kids should be screened for. (Not so) fun note - apparently melanoma is ALSO linked to the BRCA genes!
Mom found out this week that she's old - she has arthritis in her hip! (Side note - so do both her absolutely-not-old daughters...) On the plus side, now that it's been diagnosed and she can take something for it, she's walking better than she has in months. Hurrah!
Stay smiling!
