Families Helping Families

Hi All,

I just wanted to let you know that the Catasauqua Area Showcase Theater is doing a fundraiser through their Families Helping Families Program. It works like this:  Two families are chosen to be recipients (We are one of the 2). In the lobby before entering the auditorium there is a table and jar set up. The audience is asked to donate any amout they would like to the cause. The amount is counted and whatever is brought in Catasauqua Area Showcase Theater will match that amount. Monies collected at all the performances count towards the total that is matched. Both families then split the donations.

This year the play they are doing is Mary Poppins. If you are interested in supporting this great organization that is supporting Devin you can order tickets to the show here.

Performances will be held April 22, 23, 29, & 30 at 7pm and April 24 & May 1 at 2pm. Tickets for Adults are $10, Seniors (62+) $8, and Student (Grade 12 and under) $6.

We will be attending the April 23rd performance.  Hope to see some of you there!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Hugs,
Rose

Great test results! 3/7/16

Hi All!

Well the last 10 days were alittle rough. Devin's PET Scan came back with 2 areas of concern. One was the area around her tougue and the other was 2 enlarged lymph nodes on the left side which was cancer free at the time of surgery.

Friday Feb. 26th Devin and I went to Upenn for her to have an MRI and we went again on Tuesday, March 1st for an ultra sound of the lymph nodes and a needle biopsy. They took 3 samples of the lymph nodes. It has been hard waiting but today we got the word that all tests came back negative for cancer!!! To say we are happy is an understatement.  Now Devin heads back to PT to get her shoulder stonger and her stamina back. Her next PET Scan in is May.

Thank you for all your prayers and donations they help a lot. If you would like to donate please click here for a link to her Go Fund Me site. Also a theater group in Catasaqua is going to help Devin through their Families helping Families Program. If you like musicals watch for the next blog installment. We will be heading to see "Mary Poppins" at the end of April. I'll post ticket information as soon as I get it!

Hugs,
Rose
