This weekend I saw a new ad from Airtrain Airlines. It shows a tanning salon with everyone getting a major tan except for 1 person. I think they are advertising for trips for Florida, but it made me so mad. Sometimes I wonder if people realize what tanning salons will do to you. There are so many young people out there that thought it wouldn't hurt just to get a little tan. When will they learn? I know people that are dieing from tanning and we still can't get it though their heads how dangerous it is. I am going to send a letter to Airtran explaining how they need to pull this ad. It just makes me so angry that people can be so stupid. Please, if you go to a tanning salon STOP. It can kill you. Enough of my bandstand.
Keith is feeling pretty good right now. Still gets tired easily, but if that is all then I will take it. This year has started out sort of quiet. Christopher gave us a scare a couple weekends ago. His heart started beating very fast. We got him to the doctor and they wanted to run an EKG and for him to see a cardiologist. He went Friday and they did an echo on him and his heart is fine. They did find out he has a condition called WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White). It basically means that he has additional pathway in his heart and that can cause the fast heartbeat. It is not life threatening and all we have to do is monitor it for the next 4 months with a journal. If it happens more than once a month then he has to go back to see the doctor and they can do some minor surgery to correct it, but only as a last resort. He has to go back to see the doctor in May unless it happens more often then it is now. Okay, now I hope that is all for the time being. I need a very boring 2008.
The last thing I want to ask is for everyone to keep prayers coming. I know they are working. Keith's tumors haven't gotten any larger but they aren't any smaller so they are stable and there are no new ones at this time. Well, it is time to finish up dinner. Have a good week.

Glad that Keith is feeling well. What a fright about your son though! As always you are all in my prayers! When I was a girl my mother gave me some of the best advice she ever could have given me. She told me that too much sun was dangerous and not to tan, besides, she added, it causes wrinkles. SO I have never been one to chase a tan and I stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible. I have very few wrinkles as a result, although I could stand to lose more than a few pounds!
