Stiill down in Florida helping mom. The radiation kicked her ass and she is a shell of the person I know. I'm sitting alone with her right now and although far from religious I'm preying for a full recovery. She seems to have put the cancer in its place but the treatment is almost as bad as the desise. The radiation has done terrible things to her stomach and she hasent had any nutrition in weeks. We finally got the doctors to put an intestinal feeding tube in and hope that helps. My mom has plenty of support down here but it is nice to be here to help her and my sisters.

God bless Jill who told me to stay a few more days. Will be flying home cristmas eve so I can be with the family Christmas morning.

So no fishing while I'm down here but I will be out the day after Xmas with the mimi.

Please send good thought to mom
