Dear Dietrich

[sierrajb]

Bawanna, thanks for keeping us posted on Dietrich's progress! Goes to show us the power of prayer, faithfulness, and friends. This good news should not cause us to let up on our prayers for Dietrich, but to keep them going strong!

Very good news indeed! Not only that he is feeling better physically, but sounds like his spirits are up too. Hopefully this is just the start of his improvement. Many thanks for the updates!

Thanks for the update Bawanna, or banana, or nanner, or whatever alias you are using. That was real good to read.

Diet hope and pray you keep on feeling a little better each day!
Those blood tranfusions help get the poison out of your body for awhile until they inject some more. No wonder you are feeling better. It's doable. I was a relapser, so I ended up going I think 76 weeks during 3-4 years of it. That time is pretty foggy to me now. Glad you feel well enough to drive, and go to the range. Slinging some lead ought to do you some good, just pretend those are cancer cells you're shooting at and blowing away. They say positive images like that help your body fight off the disease.

Excellent news! Miss you Diet!

Rock on and get better. Enjoy the range time!

Keep fighting mate. You are a breath of fresh air when you post here, and we miss you. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family coming from Thailand.

May the face of every good news and the back of every bad news be towards you.

[kramm]

Prayers and Warm wishes headed your way Dietrich. I don't post much but I read a lot. Have missed your wit.

So glad he's feeling up to going to the Dr. and driving to MHC. To those that don't know, MHC is about a 30-45 min drive from where he lives. I don't know of any ranges any closer than that either.

Prayers are being answered Diet...Keep up the fight my friend.

It's crazy here right now. With jlottmc working FT and going to the police academy part-time, us only seeing us in passing (maybe 30 min, 4 days a week), and having a 4 year old in the house it's nuts. Let's just say I commend all those single moms and dads out there. When you work all day, then have to cook, get lunches and clothes ready for the next day, in addition to baths for the little one, not enough time to do a lot at night.

I'm still logging in but just not posting much. We have another 8 months or so of this.

From one cancer survivor, hang in there, Dietrich. Miracles happen every day. God Bless you. I pray for a speedy recovery. Hope to see you on the Forum soon.

[melissa5]

Dietrich, this post is for you. Wish you were here to share it with me. Hope you are feeling like a new man soon.

1000!!!!
