Update on Dad and Kate

An update on Dad: He is feeling much better today. I bought him some sunscreen. He has to wear it all the time, as his anti-rejection meds make it so he is more susceptible to sun and also the cancers it can cause. Ask him if he's wearing it when you see him! (He'll LOVE it, REALLY..ha.)

While I am able to be here in Roseville for a few more days, I'll be making some face-to-face contacts with businesses and individuals who may be able to help do some fundraising!

Do you know anyone who would want to donate money, products or services to help us raise funds for the National Foundation for Transplants? (See earlier post on the blog: Friends for Terry )

If you or anyone else would like to be involved, we'll be:

1--Trying to plan a golf tournament (in Metro Detroit area...if anyone loves sports, or knows someone with tournament experience please let me know!)
2--Having some auctions
3--Soliciting general donations.

If a business wants to donate, we'll definitely promote them on this blog and at any event they choose to sponsor or donate toward.

Katie:
Kate has come home from the hospital. All tests that they ran (CAT scans, MRIs, EKG, EEGs, Doppler tests of blood vessels/heart) have come back negative. Nothing to show. No tumor, no aneurism, no other scary things. Something did, indeed, happen with her brain. They found a "spot" on it; the doctor who discharged her says it could have been there for a while (!); they did tests for Multiple Sclerosis, and those have not come back yet. She is to follow up closely with her doctor. Apparently they think that a viral infection could have caused a minor stroke! So, we'll be researching some more; one of her friends said he did find that this is possible, doing some web research.

She feels much, much better; however, with unanswered questions, we are all very nervous! We'll be keeping a very close eye on her.

Thanks for all of your attention and support.
