18294. Ms. No - 1/20/2006 7:30:23 PM Yeah, she's pretty damn cool --- and she thinks you guys are great!
Did I mention that she's out visiting right now? She got in Wednesday and we went to dinner at a Persian restaurant that I love then over to Del's so she could hear me sing. I go all the time so it didn't occur to me that she hadn't heard me in over a year.
She's staying at my brother's place and I'm meeting up with them this weekend. Maddox has been performing all his tricks for her. He sings the Alphabet song, but he only sings one letter "Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee...." It's hysterical. His big thing now is bringing you stuff. He likes to pick up little bits of whatever and bring it over to you so you'll say "Thank you!" and then hand it back so he can say "Thank you!" and you can respond "You're welcome!"
It's wild because he's talking but if you didn't know what he was supposed to be saying you'd never understand his words. He doesn't make the right sounds or anything, it's just the intonation and the knowledge that he's supposed to be saying something. I think he may talk early because Jess works with him and also because Paxton talks to him constantly.
Paxton is still a total chatterbox. He took the training wheels off his bike at Thanksgiving and now he's learning to recognize words by sight -- the ones that can't be sounded out. I'd love it if he could read before he gets into 1st grade this Fall.

Second, Is Ms No's mother single? There's nothing better than a smart, intimidating women.
18296. anomie - 1/20/2006 11:45:30 PM Thoughtful,
You do take lovely, well composed pics. That's a talent. 18297. thoughtful - 1/21/2006 12:10:19 AM anomie, thanks so much for the kind words. 18298. Ms. No - 1/21/2006 12:15:52 AM Sorry, Ano, she's been happily married to my stepdad 19 years this July. ;-> 18299. anomie - 1/21/2006 1:15:37 AM And may they have many, many more happy years together.
Oh well... 18300. concerned - 1/21/2006 1:23:40 AM Re. 18295 -
Certainly not a smart intimidating man, who would be an asshole. 18301. judithathome - 1/21/2006 9:25:29 PM Yesterday my son got a shocking call...from an oncologist. Seems his blood work from a recent bout of pneumonia was forwarded to this doctor because of something strange in the results. So he has to go in Tuesday for further tests and some answers.
This is very scary because his past dealings with oncologists...all of us are on pins and needles over this bizarre turn of events. 18302. alistairConnor - 1/21/2006 9:55:04 PM Hell Judith, that's a shocker. Is it likely to be a sequel to his previous woes? 18303. judithathome - 1/21/2006 10:50:59 PM We're trying not to think that...but it could easily be.
He's been considered cured for the last 18 years; before that, they would only say "in remission". But since he is one of the few from that time period to still be around, they haven't much in the way of stats to say what damage might have been done by the chemo drugs so they just don't know.
The only thing saving my sanity right now is that I feel if it were something really dire, they would have hospitalized him right away and done the tests there. 18304. RickNelson - 1/21/2006 11:10:19 PM sorry judith, I offer my best thoughts for your son and family. 18305. arkymalarky - 1/21/2006 11:38:23 PM Oh my, Judith. Please keep us posted on how things go and give our best to your son. 18306. judithathome - 1/22/2006 12:02:50 AM Thanks guys...appreciate it! 18307. wonkers2 - 1/22/2006 12:56:12 AM We're keeping our fingers crossed! 18308. anomie - 1/22/2006 1:40:48 AM Judith, hoping the best for you. 18309. thoughtful - 1/22/2006 5:09:22 PM Judith, so sorry to hear about your son. We know what that emotional roller coaster is like. Sending my best courage, strength and healing wishes to you and your son. 18310. PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 7:20:30 PM I was sorry to read about your worries, Judith. 18311. prolph - 1/23/2006 10:41:05 AM Judith @ home. I have added your sun to my morning list which I address
to the galaxcy. My list started long ago when a gentleman closed his speech by telling the ccrowd the he was 84 and hoped we would pray for him we we woke up,
that way, he said,, the prayer might help him but it would surely be better to think of someone other than your self when you first wake up. Patsy 18312. wabbit - 1/23/2006 1:40:34 PM J@H, best wishes for your son that all is well. 18313. jayackroyd - 1/23/2006 1:51:24 PM Please do keep us posted Judith. Our hearts are with you.
