Doubly good news, according to the results from the endoscope!

Gaely’s tumor has shrunk greatly since we started antibiotics last week.

Style Lines Aside: This Marfy’s for Me!

Posted on April 2, 2009. Filed under: Business, Cancer, Sewing |

I’ve ordered my first Marfy and I’m excited. The catalog came from Nancy Erickson and I just couldn’t stop looking at this pattern.
