greetings...

we can't believe how quickly JUNE is flying by. we are now about 3 weeks past chemo #5 which puts us closer to 6 than 5 and that is not a pleasant thought!!! tim is having a MUCH better week. he still gets really tired and he still needs to go to the hospital every 48 hours for transfusion support and fluids but overall he is "feeling" much better.

i am letting him drive a little and that is good for us all.

he was laughing at me this morning because i was excited to open my new toy. because of a VERY VERY generous pepsi fund-raiser i was able to get my "dream" gadget...a dyson vacuum cleaner. (how pathethic is that!!!) we have gone through about 3 sweepers since tim got sick and i had about enough of those cheap sweepers but couldn't ever afford to splurge on a good one. everytime my dad or brother were down they were ripping apart my sweeper and trying to get it to work. we picked out the asthma/allergy one in hopes that it will help with keeping the dust down especially during tims neutrapenic phases. i can hardly wait to vacuum!!! i told the kids they had better keep their socks picked up...and just so you know...i will think of our pepsi family every time i get out that dyson-THANK YOU SO MUCH. (oh...and we also have bought some pretty decent "drugs" for tim-now we are BOTH happy)

we have been so blessed.

thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy
