Save The Date. Save The Date. Save The Date.

Attention friends, neighbors, co-workers, enemies,

relatives, in-laws, out-laws, family, stragglers....

We are having a special event here at the Nielson household.

On Sunday September 7, 2014 we are celebrating

18 Months PLUS One Day!

What is this "one day", you ask?

When Kyle was first diagnosed with cancer in March of 

2013, he was told he had "6-18 months"....you know...

to live.

Well, we are SO thrilled and happy and joyful and gleeful

and overjoyed and excited and ecstatic and happy and 

rapturous and jubilant and euphoric and giddy and elated

(and that's as many synonyms as I could think of without

a thesaurus) that we are CELEBRATING this milestone!!!!

(The 18 months PLUS ONE DAY!!! milestone!)

We are having "Salsa Sunday" at our home 

Sunday Sept. 7 from 6 PM onward.

Come give the old guy a hug and tell him you're glad

he's still here and you love him.

Everyone likes to be told they're loved and get

a hug when they've defied the odds (and even

when they haven't!)

Stay for 5 seconds, or 5 minutes or 5 hours... 

(although we all have work and/or school the next day 

so we may leave you alone in the backyard after a certain

point alone....all by yourself...but if you're good

with that?  Stay for 5 hours.)  

All are welcome.

Our home is your home.

Please bring a favorite salsa or dessert to share 

if you would like to....we would love it!

-----------------------------------

On a little more serious note, Kyle has scans next

week and results on Weds.  (you know that bloody

awful PET scan, the one where they peek inside and

see what the *#&#&@ cancer is doing inside his body)

Ya, that one.

The ones that makes me nauseous and get hives while

I wait to hear the news.  

Yup, the very same one.

Anyway, we will keep people posted.

This is where we hear how well Y 90 worked...

it's a crap shoot like always, so we keep rolling

the dice and playing the game....

Trying to embrace any extra time we've been

given.

--------------------------------------

So lets forget about PET scans for a minute and

remember Sunday September 7 @ 6 PM here at our

house for Salsa Sunday!

YAY for salsa!

Yay for parties!

Yay for beating the odds!

Yay for Kyle!

Save The date.

That's what I've got folks, that's what I've got!

 Kyle really really wants you to come hug him!

And this is Ruby's pitiful sad face if you DON'T

come love on her daddy daddy!  Don't make Ruby sad....
