From Bob Shalowitz

Marti had a really great week last week. She is on chemo 3 weeks on/1 week off and last week was her week off. She was stronger and was able to walk with a cane instead of a walker about 95% of the time. Then on saturday we drove to Baltimore and spent 2 night with our friends Sheldon and Marsha Freed. We had a great time and went out to 2 of our favorite restaurants, and Marsha took Marti out shopping. Then on 7/4 we went over to Bethesda and saw Grandma Florence for a few hours. After that we drove back to WV. This was a lot of traveling for Marti compared to her usual and she did really well. We met up with Kathleen on the way home and had dinner just past Frostburg on route 68. Kathleen took her to chemo on Monday and of course she is more tired this week,but overall, this is the best she had done in quite awhile. Now we only need help on MOndays to take Marti to chemo and we are doing OK by ourselves for a few days at a time, although it is nice to have visitors longer so Marti has visitors on other days while I am at work. If any friends or relatives would ever be available to come from a SUNDAY NITE THROUGH TUESDAY, we certainly would appreciate it, since Kathleen is being pulled in a lot of directions now, with Uncle Bill and Aunt Terry are having some problems in Philly.

Thanks to all our friends and relatives for your support--we could not do this on our own, and everyone's help has really been appreciated.

Love, Bob S.
