A Joyful Day!

Gabby won the Vermont State Tennis Championships on Saturday. She came back from 3-5 in the third set to beat a fine competitor, Cassie Smith, 7-5. It was a moment to remember forever! The final score was 6-4, 5-7, 7-5. It couldn't get much closer than that. Both girls deserve kudos.

The Week of May 21st

Dan has another week off from chemo. His mission is to gain some more weight and strength. That shouldn't be too difficult with all the great food that people have been dropping off. The plan is for Dan to start up again next week but at a lower dosage. We'll take it one day at a time from there and see how his body tolerates it. We are most grateful for the support we feel from everyone. Thank you.

Green Up Day at the Bonfigli's

The teachers I work with at Malletts Bay School showed up on Saturday morning to lend a hand. They raked the leaves from my gardens, pulled the weeds, spread 6 yards of mulch, and mowed, trimmed and edged the lawn. What a fun 2 and a half hours because we also got to socialize and catch up with one another (something we rarely have time for during our busy day at school).

Week of May 14th

Dan needs to regain his strength this week. He has the week off from chemo and will meet with his oncologist on Monday to see if he can start up again. "One day at a time" and we take the good days and enjoy them!!

Dan got out of the hospital today just in time to watch Gabby play a great high school tennis match. She won in three sets! He is now home resting and working on his photography! He will start something new next week and we'll take it one day at a time.

Dan went to the hospital on Thursday to have his bilirubin tube replaced and to go on IV. He was extremely dehydrated from excessive vomitting. He will come home as soon as he can hold down foods. If all goes well, chemo will start up again on Monday with a different anti-naseau medicine.

Dan's chemo began this week. He is experiencing some unpleasant side effects and is not able to work. He is on a 2 week on/1 week off cycle for 6 weeks. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. This is a tough one.
