Home again in Bishop

Friends and family,

We spent a few days at City of Hope in Los Angeles gaining weight, but are home now in beautiful Bishop. Mom gained 10 pounds in 2 days! She looked so great after the two days, the doctors said, GO HOME! So we did and now we are back in Bishop for a week-gaining more weight!

Next week we will return to City of Hope for another check up.

Wishing everyone love and peace this Labor Day,

Sarah and Cece

Home is where your heart is?

Greetings from Duarte,

Yes, thats right, we are still at City of Hope. The doctors decided to admit Mom based on a few factors.

1. Weight-She lost a bit more weight than they anticipated. They are giving her an appetite stimulant and I am driving all over creation trying to find delicious mac and cheese and amazing apple pie!

2. Her blood pressure was low and her heart rate was high-Not too much of a concern, but the doctors are cautious and they just need to rule out any chance of infection etc.

So, we will be here in our tiny hospital room, hopefully for just a few more days. Hope to have good news for everyone soon.

All our love,

Sarah and Cece

City of Hope

Dear friends and family,

Here we are again at City of Hope Hospital. We have follow up appointments today, all day long. Mom has been doing ok, still in pain, but each day is just a bit better than the last.

The really good news-the benefit dinner last weekend was a huge success. Even in this depression, the people of Bishop and Dyer generously donated over $3,000.00 towards our medical expenses! Truly amazing.

Thank you so very, very much for all your love, thoughts and prayers. Hopefully City of Hope will be as big of a success today as the benefit dinner.

All our love,

Sarah and Cece
