Week of Sept 1st & 8th

Nancy's wounds continue to heal and the skin graft packing is working. That is the good news. The bad news is she has been scheduled for 20 more Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments and that news was a disappointment to her. The amount of time and effort these treatments require have taken their toll on her. Nevertheless she is determined to finish this stage of treatment and move on to the radiation.

She has been able to get out more often and we went out on the boat a few times over the last few weeks. She went to the eye doctor for some new glasses and that has helped a lot.

Saturday 9/12 was the breast cancer run/walk for the cure down at the stadium. My daughters organized a "Team Perazzo" group including personalized T-shirts. We had a great turnout for the walk as our family and friends joined us for the walk. My oldest sister lost her battle about 14 years ago and my other sister is a survivor. So we had a lot of support and it was breathtaking to see so many people come together (maybe 250,000) to race/walk for the cure.

Nancy was determined to join in the walk and completed the 3 mile journey! I think she even surprised herself by doing so well in the walk.

Recently my nephew was fortunate enough to go to New Zealand to play rugby for several months. When he returned he bought back a photograph of the New Zealand rugby team all wearing "Team Nancy" bracelets....it is awesome.

Thanks again to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. No doubt the Good Lord is listening.
