Today was the first day in over a week that Jo didn't have to go to see a doctor. She got to spend all day at home with Anna (and my mom). The highlight of the day was reading a bit of Winnie the Pooh and doing Tummy Time.
We also got to have a little Chinese food at the house of our good friends, Eddie and Wendy Moy - The Annual Harvest Moon Party. We got to see a bunch of friends that we haven't seen in a while and everybody got to meet Anna. We just want all of you to know how much we love and appreciate you all!
Jo's next CBC (Complete Blood Count) - Monday, October 24th.

It was so good to see you all. Anna is so beautiful. Tim you are a lucky man...surrounded by gorgeous ladies! We love the blog, and you are in our prayers. Love you! Jim and Kimberly
Jo, you are my dance idol, since I first saw you teach at Peach State. I'll never forget, the room was packed and you stood at the podium and told the group what to do. You were so precise that everyone did the step with out any visual coaching at all. I felt then you were the best line dance teacher I had ever seen.
Another Peach State memory is the couples exhibition you did with AT and you stole the show. I dance several differnt styles but ballroom is my favorite and you are great.
The last workshop I saw you teach was in Jackson Florida, two favorties of mine came from that on, Come Dance With Me and Rits's Waltz. In 2000 I learned that I had Parkinson's, now my hip muscles don't do their job so my back muscles try to pick up the slack and it hurts daily. A lot of times I do the C3PO suffle but I put on your tapes and my muscle memory kicks in (who needs a brain).There are times I feel so angry when I can't remember or execute a step that used to be so easy.
So now, though Tim's dedication in documenting the things that are going on with ya'll, you are teaching me another dance. By example you are showing how to get through a rough time with grace and charm.
My best to you and Tim and Anna.

Dear Jo
I would like to send a message of encouragement. I also devoloped AA following pregnancy. This was some 12 years ago now.I was in a critical condition and the initial outlook was not overly optimistic. However I must tell you that I made a full recovery.I am now 43 and enjoy life to the full. I line dance 3 times a week, ride my horse,work,play the guitar, and still have enough energy to work and be a mother and wife.I sure do live every day to the full. Life is so precious.I hope you soon make a similar recovery.
I am happy for your doctors to look at my medical records if it is of any use to them.Please let me know.
