Tuesday Update

Hello everyone! Yesterday started out with a blood test at the Cancer Center--not a PTT--a CBC. A test that measures the levels of white blood cells, red blood cells etc. Even though I wasn't scheduled for chemo, my doctor wanted me to have that test yesterday morning. Turns out, as a result of the test, I have to have two units of blood transfused on Thursday. I'm so happy that I have my very own account at the Blood Bank now because so many kind people donated in my name! I can draw on that account on Thursday! Thank you! It's so weird because I feel like I feel pretty good these days. I guess I can look forward to REALLY feeling good on Thursday with two units of new blood in my system!


I went to TJ Maxx with Emily yesterday and Nick met us at the Olive Garden for lunch. Greg watched Matthew Man. I started shopping for Betsy's birthday presents. Fun! Then, after a nap and some good relaxing time, Greg took me to the mall and we finished the birthday shopping. It's so easy and fun to shop for Betsy because she likes and needs everything. She'll be 26 on Monday. My little Betsy. I can't believe it.

I'm looking forward to seeing my brother, Tim, on Friday! I love the CDs of his original music and I love hearing his teaching stories.

Hope you're having a good week. Thanks for your love and prayers. Love, Julie

Hi Julie,
I'm not sure if you remember me or not. I went to Calvary Mennonite in the early 80's and was in the youth group. Back then I was Suzi Attridge. I played basketball at Canby. I think of you and Greg often - you both changed my life and led me to life. I live in Knoxville, TN now and will be keeping you in my prayers.
