Belated Happy New Year

Hi there,
.
I just wanted to give you a quick update on how Dallas is feeling. We saw Peter, our doctor at the Cancer Clinic, on Wednesday. As usual, Peter was upbeat and made us both feel better. He reassured us that the exhaustion and appetite loss that Dallas is experiencing right now is all part of the recovery process from the aggressive radiation treatments he had. We are noticing slight improvements in how Dallas is feeling almost every day now and Peter said that although Dallas won't completely rebound to his previous energy levels they should continue getting better. We realize now that we've been granted a reprieve and are in the bonus round so we're going to enjoy every minute of it together.
.
Thank you for all of your calls, cards and emails. Sorry that I've been slow to respond to them - I know you'll understand. We wish you and yours a happy, healthy 2011. More later...
.
Love,
Patty

We had salmon the other night - finally found some that said wild Northern Pacific. Geez we don't like farm-raised fish at all! We are jealous that you are a hunter/gatherer fishing/caveman and get to catch your own fresh salmon. We'd eat salmon daily if we could get our hands on it fresh. We continue to pray and think of you both - DAILY - Conner and Fred are looking forward to a day on the water with Dallas this Spring or Summer. We just love you both so much. xoxoxox Fred, Sandy, Conner and Caitlin
