The Chocolate Factory

Showtime has arrived...Saturday February 28th at 1pm and 4pm and Sunday March 1st at 1pm and 3:30pm...general admission is $11 at the Fresno Memorial Auditorium located at 2425 Fresno St...that is the Veteran's Memorial building on the corner of Fresno and N St right across from the old water tower. Parking is available across the street by the water tower. The kids will reherse downtown this week and have their first 2 shows on Friday morning for school field trips. Sophia is so excited. She has her line, the song and her dance down pat is is rearing to go.

Natalia...Papa has learned that it is much better to take Momma's car to UCSF because Natalia gets car sick in his...it also does not help to take the Elantra instead of the Yukon on one of the rainiest days of the year. Natalia was green around the gills. But this is the warrior she is...after she threw up the second time at Olive and 99(yes, not even out of town yet) Edgar told her they would cancel the trip and go home. "No, I want to get this over with. Let's go!" It was extremely bad weather both ways and it was after 9pm when they arrived back home (they left at 6:30am with a return home to change clothes) She had her first does of chemo in 2 months. She was up until after midnight and then awake by 6:30am. She didn't nap Wednesday because Edgar had court and I was with the company auditor all day. She won't sleep unless one of us is with her. She slept from 8:30pm to 3am then up and down until 6:30am...then more of the same last night. The good news is the pain is better. She is able to stand for short periods and get comfortable quicker. The incisions are healing well finally and she wants to play again.

Start your prayers for the tapering of steriods because here we go again. It will be at a slower rate but we started to lower the dosage on Thursday...

Much love to you all,
Roni
