Please see what you can do to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society beat these diseases - they have come a long way in treatments, but it sure would be nice to find a cure. I'm not sailing in the Leukemia Cup Regatta this year, due to a recent move, but next year I would love to garner support and donations from the board in RL's son's behalf. I've been involved in this for about 6 years now, and personally have over that time raised over $10,000 - last year was a great year - about $3,500 after matching. I now have another reason to redouble my efforts...
Other things we can all do to help - donate blood if at all possible, get on the marrow donor's list, volunteer at a Children's Hospital, donate toys and time - we never know when something like this will strike one of our own, actually, yes, we do now.

RL - Mine and my family's prayers are with you. Your announcement took me back 54 years ago when I was in your son's place and my parents were told that I had Leukemia. Just a light touch and my skin would turn black. Thank God it was a misdiagnosis and not Leukemia, but an allergic reaction to one of the new sulfa drugs. I still spent 6+ months in Baylor Hospital, Dallas Texas under the observation of the very fine staff of the Wadlee Blood Research Institute. 32 units of whole blood and a spleenectomy later I was fine. Fight the good fight - we're all behind you on this one. God Bless!

I mentioned this to my wife. See reminded my that my daughter has a friend who had the same diagnosis a number of years ago. The young girl went to Dornbecker(SP) in Portland and is doing very well with no signs of it. There is hope, I think with many here all wish we could offer more.

My best friend's son was diagnosed at 2. He just turned 18. Medical advances are a wonderful thing.
RL,
I have not been reading regularly and just heard this. I want you to know that your son and the rest of your family will be in my prayers.
Disease in those who you love is hard, yet it can, in my experience, also bring out the greatest efforts and proofs of caring. If allowed, the love will purify further and later the bonds will be stronger. That is something that never will be lost, and life has become a richer.

At night I light candles for people and say a little prayer for them. I have a candle with your name on it.
BUT, they are small candles and melt up after a few days, so then I buy new ones.
What color do you want your next candle to be? Pick any color you like.

I just installed a new feature on the blog called a "Buddy Map." It lets people put in their name, where they live and a little note of encouragement. It really cheers him up to see lots of people all over the world pulling for him, so I thought I'd ask everyone to sign the map for him with a little note of encouragement. He's back in the hospital, and this really brightens his day. Thanks again to everyone for all of the prayers and good thoughts.

Well damn, I sent a note from Vermon! That is in another world:D
The map was up and I'm on. Sent one from Bragg and from my current location in the sandbox.
That's some pretty cool business, that map is. :cool:

Thanks, Mick! He loves this stuff.
Thanks, everybody! Can we get some OCONUS locations? :)I've got some pics from traveling to South America.
One of them is of us landing with out authorization and they are circling the plane with weapons.:eek:
I have another one of a bad landing that damaged the bathroom in the aircraft.
I have these other ones of flying next to some mountains.
Which ones does he want?
Stay safe.

LOL, how about all of them?
Keep up the good fight. I just posted on the buddy map, cool technology.
LOL, how about all of them?This a true story...I'll make it short also.:p
We have these illegals that we are transporting back to South America. I can't remember which country it was this day however; take a look at the Home Land security person in the pic.:o
"If one of these f*$ks takes off running, don't count on her following.":eek:
Tell me if he's laughing?
So we are flying home and I look out the window...
Anyone know what that is below? I'm used to flying over deserts...
Not one person knew what it was however; I thought it was pretty cool so I snapped a picture.
Another morning as we are waiting on transporting the illegals to South American country, someone says...
"DOC! Take a shot of the moon and the sun together with your new 12.1meg camera."
Don't ask me which is the moon or the sun...I couldn't tell you.:o

It looks like a reef to me with the center area being shallows. Just my thoughts.

If you were flying off the east coast of Florida, it is one of the islands in the Bahamas.
Has Ben ever been to the Caribbean?

I would say a collapsed atoll.

Not yet. We had a trip planned to the Turks/Caicos, but we had to cancel when he was diagnosed.

Thanks so much. He's hanging in there -- had to spend a week in the hospital about a month ago when he got a fever, but he's been doing pretty well.
Thanks to all of you for the support. It really means a lot.
