Reporting Live from Hershey Medical Center...

Derrick is still recovering from the aftereffects of chemotherapy. Sorry we have been a little slow with updates, but it is hard to do posts while at the hospital. Thankfully, Jim is a tech wizard so we hooked up the internet in the room. Derrick continues to feel better each day. His fevers have been minimal today. He has some stiffness in his leg muscles, but he has been stretching and doing things to work that out. His main doctor should be back in tomorrow, so we should have more information then. Thank you all for your continued support, cards, and prayers. As we were typing this we stopped at 4:00 for our afternoon prayer. - Mindy

- I also wanted to let everyone know that I will be having a Bone Marrow Drive on Saturday May 17th from 11-3 at the First Presbyterian Church on Market Street In Lewisburg. The drive is free, but I will have a canister for anyone interested in donating money to help offset the costs. Also, anyone who wants to join the registry and can't attend my drive or have missed the others, right now you can sign up online for free during the Mother's Day campaign. This runs until the 19th. Just go to www. marrow.org and follow the link to join the registry.

I signed up to become a donor, since it was free this week. Thanks for letting us know about that opportunity.
