Hi Mom,
Sorry you’re feeling a bit rough today, but I hope as you say, it’s on the way to being better now.
Attached is a photo of April. This is from her 39^th birthday party. It’s a nice photo, but doesn’t quite do full justice :).
Love,
---Dave.

I have it on a Blog I’ve been doing since late last year, so it was quick to log-in, get the photo, and forward it on to you.
She is lovely.

It took quite a bit of internal debating for me to ask her out. We have been friends for the past 5 or 6 months. When she came free of her boyfriend a handful of months back, and I had ‘sort of’ broken up with a lady-friend of mine (sort of because I was clear all the time that I didn’t want to “date”, and eventually she broke it off), April and I consoled each other as friends. I was always attracted to her, but taking it slow getting to know what she was all about (and probably vice-versa). Then we spent a lot of time together Memorial Day weekend. Afterwards I suddenly found myself very interested in her, and have been struggling with myself over asking her out ever since, until yesterday.

What a marvelous experience to learn that I can feel this way again.

Love,
---Dave.

Hi Everyone J

Dr. Mom is hanging in there – she went from one infection to another and is taking more pills. The good news is that her blood count is up to 10.7 today Yippieeeeee!

Cuz Debbie said it best that Dr. Mom is the true definition of survivor!

Love you all and again thank you for all your loving thoughts and prayers (they obviously work)!

I’ll keep you posted! In about 10 days (after she’s done with this next set of antibiotics) she will swallow the camera pill to find out what’s going on.

Love Julie

Hi Everyone

Julie on Dr. Mom's computer!

Please do not respond to this email - Dr. Mom does not want everyone to worry, but I don't want to be yelled at for not letting you know -

Last week Dr. Mom had internal bleeding - it stopped (so we thought) - they gave her blood and fluids. With a follow up visit she is still loosing red blood cells (not visible) in her urine.

As of this AM her blood count is back down to 10.2. The doc says she will be re-tested Tues and could need another fill up Tuesday - She looks amazing (as always) but feels sluggish and aches!

Thank you all for you prayers and loving thoughts!

Again - I am deleting this message off of Dr. Mom's computer - please do not respond to this email - I don't want Dr. Mom to yell at me for keeping you up to date - Thanks bunches!

My email address jruden@embarqmail.com

Love you all

Julie

Julie is going to Temple tonight, I might, but still don't feel up to par and probably won't...too bad, would have loved to meet Zari...

So why didn't Sally smile a bit... Good likeness, though...!!
Love, MOM

Hi,
Attached is a photo of Sally in her graduation regalia!
Also, my friend Zari Sussman called and said she’s coming out to Sebring this evening and tomorrow with Rabbi Singer.
If you two go tonight, you can meet her. Apparently her parents are joining her as well. Let me know if you might make it!
Love,
---Dave.
