What a special day Ocotber 3 is

Today is Andryusha's big 1st B-day -- but we aren't doing anything big. Only special thing is a time capsule -- we are collecting everyone's birthday wishes and congratulations and we are storing them till his 15th B-day. We want him to know what a year this has been so he can really appreciate it once he can understand... if anyone wants to send a birthday wish, please feel free to e-mail me ... I'll send you our address and you can just hand write something on a plain piece of paper (no need for a post cards). This is the best gift you can do for him -- THANK YOU!!!

Other than that, yesterday was a long but still a happy day - my blood work is pretty good and they felt confident that I no longer need the catheter thus I had it taken out yesterday!!! YEAH!!! You know, I kept my port and now I have a catheter - guess what I am doing with it? I am going to have it hanging around my mirror in the car as a reminder of how special life is and so I drive slower :)
