Peace on Earth
December, 2008
Merry Christmas from Barbara
& Mike.
Hello to all
our dear friends. We value your friendship greatly, and we hope to see you all
in the future.
We are
fortunate to have had several family members visit our home this year. Joe,
Cathy & Luke Wheatley along with Matt, Mary, Claire, Gracie, & Elise
Elder visited in April. Luke also played is a jazz festival in D. C. in
October. Kate & Lindy along with
Lynn & Robbie visited us twice this year. Courtney spent Thanksgiving with
us. She is working in Minneapolis for the winter (brrr). We also spent several weeks at Oak Island..
This year we
added 2 mini horses, Belleek & Ash, to our family. That makes 2 horses, 2
minis, 2 Goldens, & 2 cats.
My news is
that last December I had a seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy. It is under
control with medication now, but I spent 8 months unable to drive myself; your
sympathy should go to Barbara. Second, I
am part of a RIF at EDS. My last of work was December 1, 2008. I am deciding
now whether to retire or find another job.
Lindy continues to have clean scans, so we are
truly blessed. Barbara continues to be heavily involved in fund raising for
Lindy’s Neuroblastoma Research Project at UNC Children’s Hospital. This year we
had a memorial auction in Myersville as well as the traditional Oyster Roast in
Raleigh to raise funds. A new drug combination has been developed for children
who have relapsed with neuroblastoma; results are promising. A full clinical
trial should begin soon. We pray we will never need it.
If
you visit Maryland, please stop in. We are located near Hagerstown, MD. 11908 Woodland Way Rd, Myersville, MD
21773. Phone 301-293-4375. Email: kellymike8@gmail.com
& kellybarbara4@gmail.com .
Thank you all
for your prayers and good thoughts for Lindy. She is continues to do well & is taking over her first grade. Our
Kate is beautiful and is growing up too fast.
Peace and love,
Mike and Barbara
