Friday...Christmas Eve...December 24th...2010

Yesterday Linda and sister in law Joni went to the OHSU Knight's center for chemo infusion....Linda's oxygen percentage was measured several times..at 97%..so the lung love most have reinflated as a result of the radiation...we will know for sure in a little over two weeks with the CTscan scheduled. Linda is using oxygen when she is active as she gets a shortness of breath quickly..but when resting she doesn't use it...nice...

Joni experienced the infusion center as upbeat and positive...lots of conversations...lots of good cheer....a good experience for her....

Last night our neighbors.....the Coopers from across the street came for a visit...nice couple....

Tonight all gathered here for Christmas dinner...Linda is holding up well...everyone will gather back in the morning for gifts and brunch...

Linda thanked all the children and spouses at dinner for their support and the anniversary event..she felt blessed with so much support within her family.....

I know she is also very appreciative and blessed with the support from each of you...in fact, here she is to say so herself....

Linda: I feel very blessed sharing such a beautiful Christmas with my family this year. All of you add to the spirit of the season and we must remember the birth of Christ which is why we celebrate the holiday. May He bless you and us in the new year!

Merry Christmas, Linda and Dave. Hope you are having a great day. Glad your oxygen level is up, Linda. Denny and I always enjoyed the gals in the infusion room at OHSU. We remember Molly,Chung, Nancy,and Tom. We keep saying that we are going to stop by there and say hi but just haven't taken the time to do it. Tell them hi if you see them. They would know us as Georgia and Denny Paola.

'Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you two and hope you are having a great Christmas.

Love,

JO
