In November 2004, Jo and I found out that we were going to have a baby! At the same time, Jo was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia - a medical term that means her bone marrow was failing; it was no longer doing its job of producing white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. On June 17th, 2005, Jo gave birth to a beautiful baby girl - Anna Claire Szymanski. Anna's health was perfect and has continued to be perfect! This Blog is dedicated to Jo’s journey along the road to recovery.

Hey, has anybody seen a reindeer with a red nose? I've got a flight to catch.

Dear Jo & Tim, we'd like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope that 2006 gives you everything your heart desires.
We miss you enormously in the line dance world and we'd love to see you dance again - and teach!
You may remember Bill, he met you in La Vegas with George & Mabel Thompson - Bill's the one who sleeps with your picture under his pillow - he just adores you as I do.
Max Perry was in England a few months and mentioned you were ill and we were all so concerned for you. Then the Linedancer showed a picture of you and your lovely baby and we were happy for you.
We'll log in regularly to see how you are getting on - well done Tim this is such a good idea for all the many people throughout the world who love your beautiful wife and daughter.
Dear Tim & Jo. I have a long message to send. Attempted to do so on email but it came back to me so I expect you have a new email address. Really want to communicate before Christmas but don't want it published. How do I do this.
You have a great family. Nice blog. I notice there is someone not represented in the pictures. That would be YOU. Jo has told us there are people in this world who think you look like a movie star. Now, I assure you, I am not one of those people. However, it is clear from the blog entries that this is a family journey. So, for your fans, Tim, post a family photo that includes you. If you are shy, wear dark sunglasses, just like a "real" movie star.
Wishing you Merry X'mas & a Wonderful New Year. Stay positive and I am sure you will overcome your illness. Feel happy for you that you have a supportive husband and a beautiful girl.

Will we see Baby Anna as the New Year's Baby in diapers, top hat, and a 2006 Sash???
Best wishes to the family in 2006.
ps. Half the Christmas tree was cut off, but the thought comes from all my heart!

Hi Tim,
You have a great family. Nice blog. I notice there is someone not represented in the pictures. That would be YOU. Jo has told us there are people in this world who think you look like a movie star. Now, I assure you, I am not one of those people. However, it is clear from the blog entries that this is a family journey. So, for your fans, Tim, post a family photo that includes you. If you are shy, wear dark sunglasses, just like a "real" movie star.
Best Wishes to all three,
Jim Baker
