Hopefully, you will all be able to open the facebook album that is posted above. I'm not really a techno person so I'm not sure how that works, but I did manage to put a little picture journal there and I'd love for you to be able to view it. If you have trouble, will you please email me at jodiedelay@hotmail.com so I know? thanks!

I'm not sure where to begin so I'll just get some business out of the way. My drawing!!! I put everyone who was kind enough to make a cash donation into the drawing and here are the big winners! (I'll get you the prizes in the next week or so!)

Beautiful handmade quilt - Don and Judy Mathre
Cool sculpture of a wildcat - Doug and Lori Steele
$25.00 gift certificate for Stampin Up products from Nicole Flournoy - Michele Farmer(http://www.nicole.stampinup.net/)
Front-end alignment - Daryl Monroe-Bilotti
Bottle of wine from NAPA, California! - Pat Morrow

THANK YOU, EVERYONE, for your support. I could not have done any of it without you and with everything in me I believe we are a giant step closer to a cure.

Okay, so first things first...Kody. He is doing really well! I'm so glad to report that he is making good strides. He was able to start Remicade a few weeks ago and will have his 3rd infusion in a couple weeks before getting on an 8 week rotation similar to what I do. It's probably too soon to tell if its working as well for him as it does for me...but there is reason to be optimistic that his great medical team has begun to get the puzzle put together. He is gaining weight and strength and feeling a little better each day. I haven't been able to see him in person since the race...which bums me out...but I'm really encouraged by how much stronger his voice is sounding on the phone and how much more positive things seem to be going.

Yeehaw! The next series of posts will be my wrap up with the first one actually be about why I did this in the first place. I needed to write it because for me it is perspective and I want to always remember WHY I did it and how I got from there to here. However, it is something that is probably less interesting if you don't know me very well so please feel free to skip the Introspection post and go right to the race update if you like!
