Just a quick note to let our friends know that Fred is back home and doing well. I brought him home from Greensboro Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center on Friday. He was getting great care there and it's really a nice spot - but he was very anxious to get home. It's been one heck of a ride for both of us since going to Boston in early January. The pneumonia set him back quite a bit, sapping his strength, but he's quickly regaining that and hopefully can put on some weight and get some resilience back. His appetite was just coming back from the chemo treatments when the pneumonia struck and he had to have antibiotics that wrecked his appetite again. We're hoping that we have no more surprises and by the time spring is here, he will be feeling much better.
     In the meantime, thank you to all of you who have called and sent messages and cards. We both appreciate the concern so many people have shown. It sure helped knowing so many people were offering their help and good wishes. We are fortunate to have a wonderfully supportive family and so many caring friends. Thank you, all.
     Finally, like a light being turned off, Woody is no longer following me everywhere I go and demanding attention when I'm on the computer. Instead, he's curled up on the sofa in the living room where Fred is working on his laptop, perfectly content to sleep. I'm sure he's relaxed now the family is complete again. I know the feeling!
