Well Chris made it through the weekend. She stayed home all weekend recovering slowly. Her appetite is back and the pain has started to subside which is great. She is up and about now and starting to get back to normal. I'm taking her to get some bloodwork done later this morning and then I'm running her down to her office to get some things so she can work from home. She's not quite ready to get back to normal.
Our good friend Cheryl came over yesterday and visited with Chris for awhile. I was outside planting some flowers for Chris that we had bought. Late Cheryl brought over some crab bisque! It was tremendous.
Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to the Avon Walk! I cannot tell you how much it helps. I have forwarded checks that I received over to Cheryl and she will send them in. She is well on her way to reaching her goal.
Alex's team won AGAIN yesterday! They beat the 18'th ranked team in the country. Lycoming is ranked 20th. Depending on which poll you read. Read about it here.
There are 167 Division III teams in the country, 40 DII and only 81 DI schools in the country. Many of the top ranked DIII schools compete with most of the DI and DII schools without a problem. In fact Lycoming scrimmages with some teams regularly.

From the Frederick Paper
Originally this blog was used to keep people informed about the daily happenings in the life of my beautiful wife Christine while she courageously battled stage IV breast cancer since Sept. 2004. After 3 years of fierce battle Chris lost her life to this dreaded disease at 6:30 AM on Tuesday, September 11, 2007. Our family will continue to carry on her spirit, drive, and toughness as we continue our lives without her. WE MISS YOU SWEETHEART! - Love, Charlie

Climb for Hope
Dr. Emens is Chris's Oncologist and she and some very good friends are in the process of raising funds to help fund the research program that she is working on at John's Hopkins Hospital. Specifically, there is a clinical trial that is currently being done that she is heading up. This trial is the same trial that Chris is trying to get into. The trial is leading edge and so is the climb for hope teams! Click here to check out their blog.

Bagpipe Song
Many have asked about the song that the bagpipe player was playing at the cemetery for Chris's funeral. After some digging we've determined that the name of the song is Suo Gan and is a traditional Welsh lullaby. Here is a link to the song.
