Update

It's been a while since I've updated the blog- Heather's been in Anchorage with Joshua since April 4th when he was born, he's been doing well and of today weighs 3 lbs.  He's really opening his eyes and looking more and more like a normal baby, in the sense that he is not so squishy looking :)  Heather had a bone scan and CT on thursday to see if the cancer has spread in her body since she was diagnosed.  We would have liked to find out on Friday but alas, we must wait until monday.  We are both a bit nervous and perhaps a bit cautiously optimistic that everything will be fine.  Either way, Heather will be starting up her chemo treatment this next week and will receive chemo every week for the next three months, then every three weeks for the next year.  It's been difficult being apart as I've been up in Fairbanks with Joey so we can continue school and work, it's painfully obvious that I make a poor single parent, Heather is really a blessing and the glue that keeps our household running smoothly.  Did I mention that she's also good looking?  Since she's gone hairless she has been the reluctant recipient of dozens of comments on how beautiful her complexion and head is!  There is hope on the horizon, it's nearly summer, Josh will likely be transferred to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital in a couple weeks, and Joey and I are nearly done with school (really cant wait for that one).  Thanks to all of you for your support, both financially and spiritually, it has been a great help.
