Stunt Blogger


SELENA IN WALMART

The producers felt that tonight's blogging was too dangerous for her to take part in so they called in a stunt blogger. 

Actually, Selena asked me to blog for her. She has been pretty weak the last couple of days and wanted to make sure to keep everyone up-to-date on what is going on.

Yesterday, we did manage go to an insurance meeting at 10am to choose the health plan for the new year. The insurance for her school district is pretty good. They actually have a new service that is really nice. A primary care clinic that we can go to that we don't even pay a co-pay. Nice benefit. 

We were home by noon and then she was out the rest of the day. She is kind of like a cat. She moves from the big comfy chair to the bedroom to the couch. And then repeats this in various patterns. 

I have walked in the living room and seen her sound asleep on the couch with her face and knees pressed into the cushions and her butt sticking way up in the air! :) She stayed like the for about 30 minutes. 

She wanted to go out this evening so we went to WalMart. Thank God they have those motorized carts or she never would have been able to go out tonight.

This round of chemo has not been kind to her....

Selena forgot to mention that my brother Michael and his wife Donna came down on last Saturday, August 9. We had a really nice time with them. They are soooo much fun to be around. We had dinner, talked and then Selena was too pooped to stay up, but the rest of us play a really cool game. They stayed until around midnight. It was really nice to see them twice in the same summer. We have not been good about getting back and forth to see each other. (Thanks for coming Michael and Donna!!!!)

Tomorrow is Mum's 68th Birthday. We are going to try and make as much a day of it as we can with Selena's limited energy. We are hoping to go to Webster to a little sandwich/bagel shop called Panera and then come home and have some cake a little later. Hope Selena's up for it. She is the rate limiting step in all of our reactions right now. A little chemistry analogy just to be geeky :)

Blog you later.....

Seriously though,

Thank you to everyone that comments, Selena REALLY enjoys hearing from you.

Hey young man,
Stunt blogging is very dangerous and not to be undertaken frivolously. Wear your crash helmet at all times.
I keep meaning to ask, I see you only have two rabbits now. Get a hankering for stew?
Had Conejo in Santo Domingo. Sooo good.
Just got back from MAM Sao Paulo. They have a Marcel DuChamp exhibit. Very interesting. I had seen his last work in the Philadelphia Museum of Art a couple years back. They had a mock-up here. Very hot.
XO J-

I love the shape of your head.
Did you get my package? Did it bring any comfort? I'm dreaming of you and holding you in my heart.

Thanks for keeping the blog going Chris. I've missed it the past few days.

xo,
mary

HI GUYS! Having never blogged myself, I have no comment about your stunt blogging. But, wearing a helmet at all times does sound like really good advice. I love these most recent pictures. Selena, you are a very lovely young lady, Chris, you are a lucky man. We love you both with all our hearts. We are praying. John & Re.
