Update on Shafonia's Uncle Joe
as of 8-04-08 - Released from
hospital and will be home until
next chemo treatments start on
August 11th. Blood counts
remaining reasonably acceptable
given the circumstances.
Resting better at home and pain
is manageable at this point.
Shafonia will be in Arkansas
from the 10th thru 16th at
least, so correspondence may
again be slower than normal.
Thoughts and prayers are of
course plenty, but for those of
you that are insistent, feel
free to send my Memaw whatever
you would like direct to: Clara
Wood, 784 Billstown Rd, Delight,
AR 71940. Thank you all!
