Hello everyone! We hope things are going well for all of you.
Dad is feeling okay most of the time. His kidney pain went away almost as unexpectedly as it came, and by the time he had his renal scan on last Tuesday, it was nearly gone. The results showed that there was some fluid around his kidney but that it was less than what we found from the PET scan the few days before. Overall, that means we are blessed because dad doesn't have to have the external drain, and he's not in intense pain, either. The blood transfusion went well, and he seems to be feeling slightly better as a result.
Otherwise, things are going well at the Loser home. Concerning the trip, mom and dad have decided to go to Hawaii! They've been talking about it for years, and there's no time like the present, right? They think they'll leave sometime around the end of March, and we're hoping dad will feel good enough to go. He can't swim in the ocean with his PICC line, so either they'll have to lounge in the (barely) surf, or he may decide to have it removed before they go. Who wants to go to Hawaii and stay out of the water?
Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. We still feel them, and we are grateful to be upheld by so many of our loved ones. May your week be filled with small moments of joy!

What fun pictures--love them, and the parties! What on earth is the bottle and matches game--we never got in on that one! Will it work for the High Council? I always need ideas, I'm the only party girl left in Grace! Ha! Curtis and I absolutely adore Maui!
We even took the family to Cayman Islands a couple of years ago but we both said we'd give anything to get back to Maui. And alone!!! WOW! We hope you can go and relax and smooch!!! We love you soooo...
