Bob's recovery - by Michele

Family and friends,

Things here are going pretty well. Bob and I are very excited for our upcoming engagement party happening this weekend. Hopefully it will warm up before Saturday since it's tropical themed. As for Bob, he's coming along slowly but surely. I've spoken to a lot of people and they are so happy that Bob is in remission and they think "Hey, he must be okay now- how come he's not back to work?" Unfortunately it's not that easy. Since Bob was in the coma and after 6 rounds of various chemotherapy his body is pretty much shot. You can read his workout blogs, they consist of a few situps and pushups, then he spends the rest of the day recovering. Many times, his workouts are playing with Christopher or walking the aisles at Walmart just to get out of the house. I don't know when Bob will be 100%, but it definately takes time. The fantastic news is that Bob is in good spirits and has a positive attitude. Christopher is a great motivator as well.

This week I have a conference call with the people from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the upcoming Woman of the Year I'll be participating in, and at the end of the month Bob and I are going to a meet and greet. I am looking forward to helping give back to such a great cause so that they can be one step closer to a cure.

Love and Thanks,
Michele
