Mr. Magoo

What can I say, I've had a craving for some vintage Mr. Magoo cartoons lately. Maybe it's from all of those movie nights at Susan and Frank's house when I was a kid.

In my search for Mr. Magoo, I found a great video where Mr. Magoo gets checked out for cancer. It's fantastic. Click here to see it. It's from 1960, but is still very relevant (and worth having a peek at).

As for me, I'm doing very well. With the lighter chemo schedule, I have more energy and feel more like myself. I'll go back for chemo next week and will meet with the doctor then. I expect that he'll restore my weekly chemo schedule, but still without the drug that causes the neuropathy and susceptibility to cold. I'll keep you posted.

One more thing. I just learned about a little boy with cancer. We've been asked to keep him in our thoughts and prayers. With all of the people who have done the same for me, how could I say no to that. Here's a link to his website: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/coleruotsala

Best wishes to all,

Tim

Tim, Uncle Frank and I just read Cole's story. It is heartbreaking. Such a young baby. We thank God that when your cousin Kristine had problems at birth that her situation was repairable. We will pray for Cole and his loving family for healing and comfort. As I have said many many times God does perform miracles. We have been blessed with a couple ourselves so we can definitely say this is true. We ask for God's guidance and healing blessing for Cole as we do for you and your family everyday. We ask that someday the word," Cancer" is just an ancient term and never needed to part of our everyday lives,likely Polio. Thank you for sharing Cole's story, you can never have too many prayer's. Now about Mr Magoo, we still have that old super 8 projector, camera and those fun old movies. We should sit and enjoy them together sometime soon. LOve Aunt Sue and Uncle Frank
