Greetings everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since I have wrote. We have been all been doing very good. We had a nice Easter. It was very low key and that was nice. Mom and the kids and I went to church and it was nice to see everyone there. We then went to Homestead and had dinner with Grandpa Al,
he is doing as good as can be expected. Then we had a visit from my dads brother Galyan and his wife Trish it was nice to see them also. It was hard to have that first holiday without dad, as I am sure all the first will be.

Mom and I did not have to come back until Monday afternoon as I am now doing clinic only twice a week. Bright and early Tuesday morning I checked into the hospital for my first of 4 biopsies and they also removed the stint that was in between my bladder and kidney. After some confusion and running around the hospital Dr. Smith came out and told mom that things had gone good. He said the stint came out very easy and that he thought the biopsy looked good and he would be surprised if anything was wrong with it. But we did not actually get the results until this morning. When I called the clinic they said it look wonderful. It was good news to finally hear the results.

Well, today we entered another phase in the healing process, and this one was just as hard as the first one. The first one was to see Deanna leave. Today, mom went home and it was just as hard to have her leave. It has been very nice to have this time to be together. Although, we live close and see each other often it was nice to have this time together. It is extremely quite in the apartment today. I will have to find lots of things to do.

This weekend I will stay up here in Wichita. Both of my kids will end up here sometime throughout the weekend. Allie will be leaving Friday to come up for a confirmation retreat. I plan to see her at the mall on Sat. night for a few hours. My friend Terri will be bring Dylan and her two sons Levi and Gavin up on Sat. morning. They will spend the night with me here in the apartment then on Sunday morning we will drive to Topeka for the boys to bowl in the state Pepsi bowling tournament. I then plan to be home the next Thursday afternoon. Mary Ann watch out I should be traveling the road quite often that weekend.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Bless all of you for your continued prayers and concern.
Danna
