Hi All,
Last night I had a silly dream about Shelsi
having another brain surgery, only it was performed in a big mobile
van kind of like the Red Cross Blood mobile. Dr. Chu was performing
the surgery and after it was done we all walked away, including
Shelsi, and she was fine. That left me with a great feeling, and
also reminded me of a very special moment the night before Shelsi
went in for her surgery. Dr. Chu had come into her room to explain
what was going to happen the next day. As he was leaving he shook
all of our hands and when Ric, Shelsi's daddy, shook his hand, he
held onto it and said, "we have great faith in you because
these are the hands of God." They were the hands of
God and we are so blessed to have had such a great Surgeon.
Below, I've shared some pix of Shelsi that
Kira took on Halloween at Cedars. Kira dressed up like Marilyn Monroe
and brought her boys Tony & A.J. to visit for Halloween. One
picture I took of her really resembles the crazy side of Marilyn
I think.
Below is a link to an amazing story of a
woman who turned her life around after her cancer diagnosis. Her
efforts have lead to a great push to change the treatment of cancer
patients by treating the whole person, not just the cancer, through
an initiative called the Urban Zen Initiative. As a disclaimer I
must warn you that you will hear her anger thru some pretty intense
profanity, and as offensive as it might be, it was her way of dealing
with it. Check it out when you have a chance. I plan on trying to
get involved with this initiative when time permits.

Shelsi is still in good spirits and should
be released from Cedars tomorrow after completing round 5 of treatment.
Only 3 more to go and she's done. They are arranging to have the
full body scans, including the head, done on the 7th visit, so in
about a month we will know where she stands.
One last thing. I have a letter coming out
in the Thousand Oaks Acorn next Thursday that is in reply to another
letter to the editor. The story involves Shelsi. Some of you may
remember what happened to her as a junior in High School when she
brought Jamin's car to school and then lost the keys only to discover
he had a knife on the key ring with a locking blade. You'll have
to read the story to get the details. Next Thursday just go to,

Much love and gratitude to all.
