Fight Like A Girl...

Kathy sent me this great shot of Anne and Jamie at the finish line of the SummeRun... I love that they are still smiling after running 5K in the hot July sun. Beautiful. I adore their shirts too, because fighting like a girl says it all... tenacity, strength, smarts, and style.

Congrats to Jamie on her first 5K, and to these fabulous sisters for a great run!!

Ready to Run...

What are you doing this Sunday? Jamie's running in Swedish Hospital's SummeRun to benefit the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research! If you're not running or walking in this event, why not support Jamie's efforts in the 5K by donating to the cause (I did!) — just click right here!

C'mon... you can do it!

I'm an 8!

Once again, CT scan, blood draw and examine all went well. CA-125 holding steady at 8 for over 7 months now. It's becoming easier and easier to go to my check ups. I even got to have the new improved solution before my CT scan this time. No more Barium smoothies! The SCCA has been using a solution of sterile water with the same contrast that goes into your veins mixed in. No unpleasant taste, just a lot of water to drink in an hour prior to the scan. What an improvement! That's one thing about continuing advancements in medicine and being treated at a place like the SCCA, they move with the times and continually make medicine better.

Things are pretty normalized around the old homestead. We pretty much have the house buttoned back up and are moved back into our "master" bedroom (really the room that is closest to the bathroom)! We are overwhelmed with chicken eggs, many of you have benefited from the ladies bounty!

We are planning a trip to the east to see the newest member of the Crase-Martinez clan, Brendan! Congrats to Ali, AJ and Gillian and of course Gramma Sharon and Grampa Pete! Can't wait to meet him!! Hope to also see some of our other East Coast friends and family while we are back there!

Enjoy the spring weather!!
