  1. To Lib's incredibly loving and loyal friends, I salute you all !!!!! I know that SO many of you, given less mileage restrictions would have been at Lib's celebration, but to see the likes of Geri,Ginny,Sharyn, and dear Kasey............all making the trip and being there for Lib? Well, honestly? I am overwhelmed at the effort you all put forth to be there to honor your friend......She would be swinging from the rafters (with her chicken hat on) to thank you for honoring her so lovingly....... You all are the very BEST friends possible !!!!! Thank You ! Bibi
  2. Lib's husband, Paul, asked me to announce that a celebration of Lib's life will be held at the Newtown Country Club Country Club Drive Newtown, Ct 06470 March 5th 2-5 PM Paul is so grateful for your friendship and support and invites any member of LCSC to attend

    Our Addie

    I talked to Addie tonight, and she wanted me to be SURE to tell you all how much she misses you and cares so much about all of you..............she wanted to tell you that the only reason she doesn't 'connect' is the neuropathy in her hands rends her incapable of connecting like she would like to......... Addie is comfortable, loves her bed baths and massages to stimulate her legs and arms. The WBR seems to have resolved any pain issues, thank goodness !! A friend sent chocolate chip/caramel cookies recently and Addie would not share with her sweet husband............can you imagine? So, last I heard, same friend is sending special cookies to both and Addie is to keep her hands off his cookies Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, will keep you posted Bibala

    Our Addie

    So like you, Pat, to be asking about others at this sad time.........."I miss him like fire" ...........I just read this at the bottom of your post, and it brought tears to my eyes. {{{{{{Pat}}}}}}} I have a happier update today ! A friend visited Addie yesterday (I live in another state so haven't seen her since she was in the hospital in November) and she reports that Addie is comfortable, cheerful and 'spunky'...........and quite chatty !! The day that I called and reported here was a bad day for her, and though she has days like that,many are much better. Neuropathy is bad in both hands and typing is very difficult. She cannot stand or walk so Hospice is helping her husband with better ways to lift her from bed to the wheelchair etc. It is a relief to hear better news and I wanted to share it with all of you Bibi

    Addie Update ~

    I know that so many of you are wondering how Addie is doing............I talked to her husband( and to Lib) tonight and he asked me to write to all of her friends at lcsc..............( I hope you all know how much you mean to her) I talked to her tonight.......she is so typically Addie........says she is not in pain though her husband disagrees....... Her mind is still like a steel trap, though her speech has slowed to a crawl. Her husband has to lift her to her wheelchair and then the potty and she worries about him.................Hospice nurses daily will begin Tuesday. She said she had a lovely Christams...........that 2005 was the year of the nighties..........that she got 15 !! So typical of her humor.......... Addie is someone that will be terribly hard to forget, wont' she? I will continue to update you...............
  6. My darling friend, Addie gave me this cookbook for Christmas, and I have loved marking recipies to try....Please keep commenting on your favorites so I can make notes !!
  7. Hi All, I am Bibala, a dear friend of Addie's who wrote to you a while ago. Today, Lib suffered a setback........Aphasia, where one can not express in words what one wants to say .......so ironic, as all of you who know her, know that Addie is HARDLY ever at a loss for words Am MRI should give more information..........pray as hard as you can that this latest setback is temporary.......I promise to update Thank you ALL 'Bibi'
  8. Just wanted to pop in and tell you that a friend is bringing a lap top to Addie today !! Also, she is in good spirits and is laughing and joking.......can't keep this girl down for long !! So, hopefully she'll be checking in with all her LCSC friends today !! Bibala
  9. Good morning Ginny and all ~ I am a close friend of Addie and her husband asked me to let you know that the news is not good. In his words: Well folks, the news was not good today. Cooper, the ONC Doc., called at 2:30 and said that we need to come to the hospital, now. Arrived at just after 3:00 and they had laid out the radiation routine and admitted her to the hospital for the treatment. Admission was necessary as she cannot walk. She has fallen three times this week and I was afraid that one was going to hurt her outside of the disease issue. Diagnosis: Metastacies(sp) inside the spinal cord. Largest and most troubling is at the base of the neck just above the area that was radiated for the lung lesions. Swelling and growth of lesions posing a risk to nerve functions over most of the central torso. Hence, she had her first of ten radiations early this evening. Pain was still there when I left her tonight, but with early treatment, it should improve the swelling and therefore the pain. Second lesions are in the lumbor (sp) region of the spinal cord and not as developed as those above. Those will be radiated starting tomorrow. Also for ten days. How long she will be in the hospital is not known. At a minimum, it will be three to five days with her mobility being a key issue for release. Also the medicine that they give her for swelling and other issues, she has trouble taking the pill form, so by being in the hospital she can have infusions of the medicine. For some reason she can tolerate that ok. The eleventh (11) floor of Danbury Hospital in mostly the Oncology ward if you have been admitted. She is in room #15. The radiation treatments will be once each day for both locations. Tomorrow's is scheduled for 1:00 to 1:15, but we all know how hospitals are. I would appreciate it if someone would notify the Team and those of the lc.boards. Updates as available. paul **************************************************** I am so sorry to be the bearer of this sad news. I know Addie is so beloved here at LCSC, and she loves all of you. I promise I will bring updates as I recieve them until Addie can be in touch. Bless you all, Bibala
