Bruce had his 7th treatment today. YIPEE!! He continues to feel good, just a bit tired. He also had a visit with the radiologist, Dr Fuss, to discuss the most recent MRI reading. The MRI shows a new tumor-just one, not four! We were pleased to hear this news. Bruce's last "surgery sight" treatment will be on Tues, July 31st. The Dr wants him to have a week off for recovery and then come back for radiation on the new tumor. We believe this is a "one zap" treatment, just like the other tumor. We will then wait for another MRI (4-6wks) to see how the first tumor responded and check any new growths. The waiting is the hardest part, but we have found it bearable as we lean on God's truth and lean on each other....there really is no better place to be!!
MB is so thankful and appreciative for those who have driven Bruce to and from his appts. I have needed the break and Bruce has needed the fellowship. We are indeed blessed!
Enough medical information...now on to the fun stuff.....
WE ARE GETTING A PUPPY!!
Long story short (I'm getting really good at this), friends rallied together and have made it possible for us to get a Havanese puppy from a well known Portland breeder. He is a small puppy...and will stay that way...little! Havanese are known to be "very intelligent and witty dogs"....a perfect fit for the Alexanders!! Bruce and the kids fell in love with a 7 wk old male. He is white with a chocolate face and chocolate spots on his back and tail. Isaac has named him "Charleston". The kids are calling him "Charlie" all ready. We are making the necessary preparations and will be bringing "Charlie" home sometime next week. The kids are jumping out of their skin, Bruce is reservedly excited and MB is ready for the new addition! The timing is so right, the impact is so needed and the kids are so ready! We will send pictures when we can.
Thanks for being part of our adventure!
Love,
THE A TEAM

Woo-hoo on joining the dog-owner's world! Have fun with him, and great news about the treatments. Love, love, ma
I had never heard of this breed before. They are CUTE!! The website I went to says it is "a toy breed said to be known for 'silliness.'" Gee, are you sure Charlie will fit in with you guys? :-) Also, versatile and hard-working, so the house and yard work should be no problem. Finally, it says that in competition, Havanese tend to excel in "musical freestyle!" I can't wait until your kids are ready to get a show on the road.... Meanwhile, do bring Charlie by the office! -- Rosemary
