Daniel Turns 14 Today

Since today is Daniel's 14th birthday, we celebrated in the hospital so Ray could also be a part of it. We just had ice cream and he opened presents. It was fun for all of us. We're going to Ryan & Heather's tomorrow night for pizza and Heather is making a cake for Daniel. (Isn't she a sweetheart?)

Things are about the same for Ray. He needed another unit of platelets today and daily he gets shots (nuepogen & procrit, spelling?) that help the body produce red blood cells and white blood cells. These meds cause his bones to ache, which he says is slightly uncomfortable.

I awoke this morning and discovered our water heater leaking. Immediately, I envisioned it needing to be replaced, but thankfully it was only a leaky 15" (flexible) line that needed replaced. Ray's brother, Billy came to the rescue and fixed it for us during his lunch hour. All I had to do was go to the alley and shut the water off. That's the extent of my plumbing knowledge. Thanks again, Billy!

Blessings from our family to all of you,
Kim
