Nothing really new to report. Joe's pretty much the same, although his demands for various food are getting annoying. :) He got a transfusion because his white blood count was getting low, and as soon as they get his kidney levels to a satisfactory point they're going to start the last round of chemo. The biggest thing is that after spending 3 months in the hospital, Joe the social butterfly is LONELY. He misses his friends! If you haven't been getting by to see him please try to go. It would be especially nice if people could try to come by during the day, because most people come in the evening. You might also call to see if anyone else is already there, cause it seems like everyone comes on the same day!
Next Thursday, April 24th, Cool Beans is having another Karaoke fundraiser! They're making jello shots, so come on down and get your booze in jiggle form and sing till you puke. Tell everyone you know!
If drinking isn't your thing, come on down to the garage sale fundraiser we're having the weekend after that (April 25-26) It's going to be at 1802 Avon Dr in Corinth. If you have any items you'd like to donate to sell just send me an email and I will make arrangements with you. Thanks!
Joe has stage 4 large cell lymphoma. Here's where you can keep updated on Joe's condition. We'll be updating as much as possible. Go to the very first entry if you have no idea what's going on. All supportive comments will be printed out for Joe to read, so support to your heart's content! Be sure to read the side bar if you'd like to know how you can help, or come on down to room 4210 and help through socializing!
Blood welcome!
If you'd like to help lower Joe's hospital bill, you can donate blood or platelets for him. Go to Carter Blood Care, and ask to fill out a replacement credit form. You'll need to make it out for Joseph Quinton at Denton Presbyterian Hospital. You'll also need his home address, 10608 Sunrise Circle, Argyle TX 76226. (They'll be other things on the form, but you only need to fillin those three.) You don't need to be the same type, and remember that if you donate platelets you can do it every 2 weeks rather than every 6 weeks like for whole blood. Thanks!
Donations welcome!
Joe can't work while he's in the hospital, and he's uninsured, so he welcomes any help you wish to provide. In Roanoke, drop by Chang Lee's Tae Kwon Do or The Blue Hanger Cafe (I recommend the Chicken Chipotle Salad). If you'd like to send a check, mail it to the address in the blood drive box, and if you'd like to deposit directly to our account, send an email to margie_vi@yahoo.com for info. Thanks so much!

Hey -- sounds like you're doing great! Cancer-schmancer, right? Things are going well here. Ben has learned to roll over. I thought this was exciting for about 5 minutes, but then I realized all this meant is he would invariably roll over in his sleep and then wake up and be mad because he can't roll back over on his own yet. This has necessitated additional trips to the crib each night for mommy. Also, he is teething, which is annoying but good for him in the long run, because teeth are important. Overall, he's just awesome...he gets to be more fun every day. I continue to be visited on a regular basis by my inlaws, which I will make no comment about on this public forum. How are those hospital walls looking? Still grey?
Love ya,
Wendy
