I must appologize for not posting an update for so many months. Essentially things have been unchanged until recently.

I have been helping Todd to sell some of the assets from his factory by listing them on ebay. And on Monday I called him to say that I had sold another piece of equipment from the factory. He told me that he had been to the Doctor on Friday and the Doctor gave Todd some bad news. According to the Doctor, "the cancer has taken a turn in the WRONG direction" Which means that the tumor is growing again. The Doctor put Todd back on Prednisone to help keep brain swelling down.

Todd and I had a nice visit and discussed the selling of some of the other items from the factory and talked about my trip down to Florida to take care of mom. Todd is coping about as well as can be expected. He is remarkably brave considering what he is facing. I dont know how he finds the strength to keep going. At times he has to work hard to choke back the tears. Although I am sad that things appear to have taken a down-turn, I am mostly sad for Todd that the good, kind, loving, generous, and gentle person that Todd is, has to face such a terrible disease at the early age of only 60. This is just not fair.

Please call Todd and let him know how much you love him and care about him. I am sure a call from you would help to lift his spirits. Todd's state of mind is very good, and he can carry on a good conversation. You would never know that he has a deadly brain tumor. Please call soon. I know he would love to hear from you. His cell is 414-403-2046 and his home phone is 414-962-2969
