"Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land." Song of Songs 2:12

Well, the flowers may not have appeared yet, but the birds have been singing (except for Wednesday). 'They' say we will see the 50's on Friday---we can always hope! Nothing new to report, except we did NOT make it to our Wednesday Vitamin C infusion due to the weather. All the kids were out of school as well (even Abbie--the oldest daughter--who is on spring (?) break this week). We continue the daily fight. Cathy continues to get drained about every 30 hours. So far this year (2014), we have drained off 91 liters of fluid (approx 183 lbs!) We are very thankful for the catheter which allows us to keep the fluid off, and to do so here at home. She still has occasional swelling in her legs, but not as bad. Noah, the 17 yr old, has learned how to massage her legs just the way she likes. Her hair is growing back, slowly. She was even able to get out earlier in the week, when it got in the 50's, for a couple of brief walks. Hope you're all staying safe and warm during this LAST winter hurrah.
