Chemo WAS to begin

Hello all. Don't be to dissappointed but it is Cheryl bringing you the updates. It is a rainy, dreary, cool morning here in Regina. Just a quick note.....

I just got off the phone with James and he was on his way to the hospital. Roxanne was admitted to Pasqua Hospital yesterday to begin her chemo. When she went in Dr. Salim was concerned with her breathing so he sent her to a respiratory specialist to check her chest. They ran many tests and found that she contracted pneumonia in both lungs. So today they will be running more tests. It is a little frustrating as she has been complaining about her breathing, coughing and phlegm for quite awhile. Pneumonia just doesn't come on over night. I don't understand but anyway she is in the right place to get past this stepping block and hopefully can do chemo next week. Rox is a fighter!!!!!

I will keep you all posted as I hear. Any comments left I do read them to her while she is in the hospital. Keep praying!!!!!!!
Thanks
Cheryl

Hi Roxanne, Yvonne sent me your blog address so I've been reading it. I have been thinking of you often and praying for you. I hope the treatment for your pneumonia starts working quickly. You are the bravest person I know. I would like to send you a big hug. Irene deLaforest

Hi, Roxy,James, Justin, & all family
I usually use your own e-mail but since I hear you have decided to take a holiday I thought that You might get this faster this way..........I have Just come back from Edmonton where one of Waynes boys was in a Sledz Hockey tournament. They came home with a Gold Medal. The first time Grandma saw this played was quite the game. One of the 1999 Special Olympic players was there and he came down to the dressing room to talk to the boys and show them his Bronze medal. Was great for the boys. One of the boys is in a w/c and his brother plays regular hockey so mom started this team and is their coach.
I am at work!!! everyone is in bed and asleep (I'm not sluffing off)
A quick hello from Brenda B., Kim, Marie and Myself.Sending lots of love and our Prayers.
