Hiya, just saying a hello, I have a few jokes for you today, this time about bears

Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk with a bear?
A: Winnie the Pooh!

Q: Why do bears have fur coats?
A: Because they'd look stupid in anoraks!



Lots of love and big…

Hello,
I came across your son's page through a friend and
I just wanted to say Hello. And I'm glad things are going well.
My daughter Christina had MDS that evolved into AML just a few days later too. If you get a chance stop by her page. Again, I am glad that everything is going well. It gives me HOPE.

This is my first time on your site and I found it through a bmt site. I sat up last night and read your entire journal and cried and laughed, and most importantly I related, my 15 mo. old is on day +142 of transplant and it was so nice reading your story it answered a lot of questions we had on getting normal counts, etc. Thank you for sharing your story. It was very encouraging!

Adam,
My best wishes are with you. I know that this is a rare condition. My father was diagnosed with it a number of years ago. We had never heard of it before, and neither had most of his healthcare workers.
My son has his own page on caring bridge http://www.caringbridge.org/mn/allanellingson/
I wish you all the best. Keep on fighting the good fight.
God Bless you

Hi Adam. I enjoy reading your journal and keeping up with your activity. I hope you have a wonderful year in first grade. You and Megan should bring that beautiful dog of yours over to visit me when you are out for a walk sometime. Glad the spots were impetago, not chicken pox. Hope all heals soon. Probably other kids in your class got it, too. It's so contagious. Come and see me.

Dear Smith family,

Thank you for sharing pictures of Madison, your newest family member. She is really cute. I would assume that you have not had her very long...Andy and Sue are getting a black lab which was born in June, and they get him at the beginning of August. They have named him Wrigley.

Loved the pictures of Megan and of Adam...are those new glasses for Megan?

Hi Adam and Megan,
Your Uncle Mark used to work with me here in Maryland, and sometimes he called me "Miss Barb", so I guess you can too.
I am not really a "Miss", but I am a grandmother. Two of my grand daughters are just your ages and they live in Wisconsin. I know how busy they are with school and its good to hear from your website that you are having fun in kindergarten and elementary school too.
My friends and I have been watching all that has been happening with you, and sending some prayers up to Heaven. We are especially thankful that things are so much better for all the Smiths than they were last year about this time. Take care!

Thanks for sharing your news with me. I worked with Tracy for many years on the LSSC meets. I couldn't have worked those meets without his help. Thanks Tracy, it is great to see the progress that Adam is making. My thoughts and prayers remain with your family.

Hi Smiths!! We have been following your family with the frequent emails from Connie Claar. I was a swimmer for Tracy a LONG time ago (in 1985)! We are thinking of Sue Claar today - thank you for the reminder - I can't imagine going uphill after 25 miles. Tracy might be amused to know that my sister, Joanne, and I are doing the Danskin Triathlon that is in Naperville (where I live) in July. I did my first training swim today - the municipal pool is finally open. Much water was consumed as I choked my way through the first few lengths. Once I was warmed up it went better. I think my arms are pretty strong from carrying my little boy, Alex, around. So - Joanne and I are still using skills we learned from Tracy!

We think your website is great and send a BIG hello to all of you :)

I'm so happy for all of you, that Adam has progressed so well. He's been on my church prayer list, and mine, for a very long time. God does answer prayer! I've enjoyed reading your newsletters that have come to me by way of Mark, so I've been following Adam's illness for quite awhile. Remember that God has a plan for each of us and nothing happens that He doesn't know about.

It was great to see Adam at our door the other day. He wanted to come in and I didn't know if he should. Is he able to, at this stage? You know we have a dog and constuction dust. Hope Megan feels better soon. I am also on thyroid medicine. The good part is it doesn't have any side effects. Talk to you later. Sue

Hi Adam. From what your mom describes, you had a great time at Mickey's House. Maybe when you come and visit in Vermilion, you can advise Ashton about what he should see when he gets to visit Disney World for the first time. I'll bet you know all the good spots. See you and "Goofy" soon.
