picture time!

It's been a while since pictures have been posted, so we'll do a few tonight.

Gato Deluxe, the dude we can be mad at about all this cancer crap. He takes the abuse pretty well.

Sharon successfully completed her third session of chemo last week. It went smoothly, especially being the first session she did this round while NOT in the hospital. She was accompanied by Tim, a dear family friend Chuck, her daughter Kristina, Gato Deluxe (the ugly doll we're allowed to get mad at), her son James and daughter-in-law Currie throughout the day.

Sharon's condition is extremely delicate right now. Because her digestive system is failing, she's having trouble processing any fluids or medications. She will continue chemotherapy as long as the benefits outweigh the ill effects. We are looking into home care and focusing on treating the painful side-effects of the tumor.

All smiles with her favorite daughter, Kristina.

Sharon is currently in the hospital in Asheville under close observation. She was admitted on Saturday because she was not responding and had overall lethargy. Because she began new medications after the chemo last week, the doctors are monitoring her medication and trying to narrow down the issues.

They sure are one cute couple!

Please, take a moment to reach out to Sharon & Tim either via phone calls or email. Sharon is receiving messages on her cell phone and every one she hears brightens are day just a bit more.

For those people living in and around Asheville who would like to visit with Sharon, please make arrangements with Tim. All the love and attention she can get will add to her quality of life and overall enjoyment.
