Hi Everyone--
Hope you all had a wonderful spring break. I got sick the day after Easter,
was hospitalized Thursday and came home Friday night. They found fluid in my lungs, and after a CT scan, Echo and seeing a pulmonologist, they said there was no clot in my lungs (which they originally suspected). That was the good news. The bad news was that the spots on my lungs were starting to grow (well, I have been off chemo for three months). I also had a touch of pneumonia. I guess it's some kind of coincidence that a week after tour last year and a week after tour this year I ended up with pneumonia. Now that my toe is healing up, I'm seeing my oncologist on Wed. to start a new plan with yet another type of chemo. I'll be losing my hair again, but then I'm pretty much bald already, so I'm happy to go back to a wig. I've been on antibiotics and diuretics to get rid of the fluid, and today I feel much better, praise God! I hope to get right back to school on Monday and can't wait to see my students and prepare for our competition a week from today! Please keep me in your prayers for us to get the right chemo drug to get rid of this thing and go into full remission. I believe it will happen.

P.S. I hope you all saw my student Nick when he asked his girlfriend to the prom on Good Morning America Monday! (she said yes) you go Nick! :)
