As usual, I am behind in posting. I missed a whole lot of things between the Tri (post just below this one) and today. A few of the major points:
In late fall, Trisha held her second annual Naperville Uncork A Cure. Fantastic evening and we raised $50k for CFF that night. Gene Honda, announcer for the Sox, was our emcee and he did a fantastic job. Great guy. Along with Rosie Woods, I gave my first real bid for a cure speech. I am a huge fan of the bid speeches, just not from me. It was emotional, but it worked out for the best. I'll put a separate post out on this with pictures when I get a chance.
In late November, we finally were backed into a corner and Colin went in for surgery to get a G-Tube. We fought it for three years, looking for alternatives and maybe sometimes denying that he really needed it. The surgery was a little rough on him, as was the first day of recovery, but since then, he has gained his first pounds in over two years. He gained five in the first 45 days. This deserves its own post...again, I will get to it later, with pictures.
Working on the Sixth Annual Casino Chicago (http://www.cfholdem.com). Check out the site, this is a fantastic night.
For good and bad, we have met a lot of new cf families in the last few months. We've probably scared one or two by talking to them, but we try to give is as straight as possible.
I'll try to spend some time with real posts for the items above. They all deserve a little space (even if no one reads this thing).
