Here is another update on Christopher. Thanks for all the love and support so far. I don't know where I would be without it; and I know Christopher has enjoyed the fact that he know has Clusterbuds sending mail !!!!!!!!
Hope this update finds everyone pain free or at least able to deal with the pain they have. I've got nothing but good vibes going out to all of you. Love ya bunches.

> He is dealing emotionally with the nonmedical side of his disease.

Thanks, Nan. My prayers are still there for him, you, Red, and your whole family.
By the way, for those of you that have lost his address, here it is again. Send him another card!

Hey Nancy,
Didn't I read earlier on the MB that Chris had gotten a computer? If so, does he have an email address?
Might allow us all to mail him if we knew it.
Here's to hoping that Chris and family have the best that each day offers.

LOL, cause I know the email addy for his sister, his brother, his parents ... but he just set up a new one for himself and hasn't shared it with his BEST aunt !!!!! His mom is gonna ask him and get back to me. Just like old folks ......... in the dark !!!!!!!!! Guess that means that he is your average 16 year old ........ which to me, makes me smile.
