Chuck has a temporary phone number of 320-259-1163. It is suppose to change back to 320-230-3943 on Friday. But that is hard to tell with the telecommunications company from hell Charter Communications. I will let everyone know tomorrow.

Chuck has made an amazing recovery from what appeared to a very bleak and alarming condition. The doctors changed his medication which resulted in Chuck returning to his usual good natured and lovable self. We are quite happy with this turn about in his condition and hope for more of the same.

Uncle John who was on life support was taken off today. It is a very sad day for all of us; John is a great person and a loving man. Let our prays and condolences go out to his family. God bless you uncle John

Thoughts from a distance...
Uncle Chuck - I have thought of you often since receiving word of your cancer diagnosis.
Becky has been good at keeping me in the family news loop.
You were often a source of joy and laughter on my visits to Minnesota - your jokes and humorous comments seem to keep the conversation flying :). My mental picture of you is always with a smile (or a mischievous grin) on your face. I think you are a thoughtful observer of human nature, both good and bad. It's a valuable perspective for us to have.
I hope you are reasonably comfortable and able to enjoy visits and kind thoughts from family and friends. Much love. Take care. Jeanne

You will be asked to stay from around 6:00 PM on your scheduled day to 6:00 PM on the following day. Andria said she would be available to come over after school to help out if you need a break. Look over the schedule and get back to me if there is a problem.

Chuck Christenson has been suffering from cancer for over six months. His condition has drastically worsened over the last three weeks, and his long-term prognosis is not good. We would appreicate any kind thoughts or comments.

Thanks,

Chuck's family.
