<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>First we want to thank everyone for all
the drool and prayers for Freddie.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>His diagnosis came back today and it is
not good. He has malignant melanoma</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>and the margins are not clean. On
top of that the facial lump they removed has</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>already come back. This is
not the best news but I had that hard lump in my throat</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>that was warning me of this.
I have the gang drooling and we are all praying that</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>Freddie will join me as a cancer
survivor. GGBR is going to be placing Freddie as a </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>sponsored <STRONG><FONT size=2
face=Antique>basset as soon as I get his pictures downloaded.
</FONT></STRONG></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>I have to say that "This is so not
fair!" Freddie is such a great boy who did not have</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>a wonderful first 6-8 years.
He is our New Year's Eve baby this year and started his</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>new life. He is not suppose to have
cancer in his new life. This sucks big time!
Okay,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Antique><FONT size=2>now that I vented that I
feel maybe a little better. We will take it one day at a time
and </FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Antique><FONT size=2>see what
</FONT></FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT face=Antique><FONT size=2>God has in store
for our Freddie.</FONT></DIV></FONT></STRONG>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>If anyone has dealt with the oral
malignant melanoma could you please share your</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>thoughts and advice with me?
</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Antique>We are sending drool and our prayers for
all those in need.</FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
