HAPPY DAY IN IOWA!

Note from Schatzi: I'm going to let Becky post just this once to see if she can get it right plus I don't understand all this but this news seems to be VERY important to both of them!

We just returned from the oncologist and Harvey/Dad/Pep/Uncle Pep's PET Scan results from Wednesday said Normal Study without abnormalities! CANCER-FREE IS THE WORD OF THE DAY! Needless to say we are extremely happy and thankful. His labs are not perfect, but making steady progress towards normal again and about where they expect them to be at this stage of the game. This visit they gave him a Survivorship Prescription to enhance the outcome of the treatments and improve his health as a whole. Monitoring is part of this plan and he will be on the 3 month recheck plan with the oncologist for a year with PET Scans each visit and labs as needed. Then the intervals will increase to 4-6 month visits for the next 3 years and then annually! There are still the multiple other doctors who keep up with his progress that he needs to see as directed as each of them have their own areas of expertise they keep track of. Needless to say he is the STAR PATIENT at every office we visit, he has all the nurses, techs and doctors charmed!

One more time we thank each and every one of you for your thoughts, prayers and support over the past year - we couldn't have done this without you.

Many thanks from both of us and Welcome to Schatzi's blog where we will try to keep updated with the events in our lives. We'd love to hear from you as well.

Love

Becky & Harvey/Dad/Pep/Uncle Pep

Test post from email

Am still learning this blog operation and this is a test to see if sending a post via email really works! We'll see!

Oak Park and FLW

Well I was left home to take care of Pep AGAIN! Becky took off and went to Chicago, actually Oak Park, to spend some time with Betsy (she's my other Mom you know) who was babysitting her grandchildren, Ellie and Jake. They had a great time! While the grandkids were in school the "Moms" toured the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio (Becky's a huge fan of FLW), wandered around Oak Park to see other FLW designed homes and had Saganaki and beer on an outdoor patio for lunch! She must've liked it all cuz she had her constant camera companion and used it frequently and you can see the results if you click below. Someday I hope she will take ME on one of her "ventures"! I reallly think I would've had fun romping on some of those beautiful lawns and also playing with Betsy's grandkids! Oh well.... maybe next time!

Way basic....

This is my first attempt at blogging and this is a test to see how I'm doing! These two folks are the Grandma & Grandpa who have stolen my name and also who I live with! They recently took a trip to Seattle. They had fun and I know I did at Camp Wagner.

They took a TON of pictures and if you want to see them click here.

Let's see if all this works now.
