Good News to the Kids

Jeff and I were some happy after receiving the news about my complete response to chemotherapy, that we texted our children first. It wasn't long before we received hoorays from all three of them. Just another star in our day.

Now for a quick update:

Sarah: Continues to work on her thesis and works at the high school.  She really loves being an Athletic Trainer.  Any recent injuries haven't been too severe, which is good.Sarah calls me everyday and catches me up on her day and I help pass the time as she drives home for 30 minutes. 

Mary: Enjoys her student teaching, however now that the assignments in her classes are in full swing, it is back to work! She has a very busy life at U of M.  Brandon has been offered a full tuition scholarship to Washington and Lee Law School.  UCLA has also offered him some nice financial incentive. He's hoping to hear what Michigan Law School will offer him too.  Harvard is still making some admission decisions, so no word yet.

Matthew: Signed a lease for apartment next year with 3 other buddies. Looks like he will be staying in Oklahoma for the summer and working there at the scene shop and maybe somewhere else too.  In just  a few days he will be talking with the head of the school of drama to see if there might be a possibility of him getting in-state tuition.  It gets pretty involved, but if you could pray for a positive answer, that would sure be appreciated. 

Since our trips to Karmanos Cancer Center begin next week, it will be time take Sammy to his new home.  He has been a guest there several times. I know he will be well taken care of, maybe even spoiled.  Still I am getting a little sad about it. But it is for the best.

Well, that is all...next update? Next time I have exciting news about the kids!
