Pushed Back a Week.

We went in this morning to begin treatment. But Aimee had developed a rash this past weekend, most probably an allergic reaction to the "contrast" liquid used in the PET scan last Wednesday. The doctors had a look and thought it would be best to wait a week before she starts treatment, to give the rash time to clear up. (One of the side effects of Interleukin-II is a pretty nasty rash of its own-- so they didn't want to compound the problem.)

No worries here. Gives us another week to enjoy the summer. :)

Ciao Cowan Family,
I have just returned from my travels in Italy and Rome and spent much time in prayer, offering masses, and lighting candles for you all. I will continue in offering my masses and prayers for you here in VA. I am pretty sure they are just as efficacious. Although, they do feel more powerful in the Eternal City being surrounded by so many saints and the Holy Father.
I hope to vist you some time in the fall.
Many Blessings to You,
Lisa Kenna (Maw)

Well - I'm glad to hear about the postponement, particularly since I'll be back in the country for most of next week, so I will be around to offer any help you guys might need with watching X-man and Tillie, or making food, or anything you guys might need. I know Michael is ready to help as well. I'll be in touch soon to discuss -
All my love, Lizzy

All of a sudden there seem to be lots more Cowan children: John, Xavier, Francis, and X-man. Which is the sweet one? The impish one (of robot fame)? The priestly one? The "real little boy"? I think you ought to give equal time to Mathilde, Lucy, Marie, and Tilly. Where are their pictures?

Thanks for the character study and the picture of your new-look living room.

As always, we send tons of love and prayers!
Chris and Bainard

Love, Hilary (Kevin, Maggie, Jamie)
