Susan G. Komen Race~ April 17th, 2011

 On April 17th, 2011, Nicole, Paul, Phillip and Megan participated in the Eastern Washington Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure. Team Name: For the Love of Lorrie.

It was amazing to see all of the people gathered together to raise money and support a cause that is so near and dear to us. We didn't raise as much money as we would have liked to, but we plan on making the race a family tradition. Our goal, next year, is to have a larger team and raise more money in honor of Mom.

If you would like to join our team next year, please let us know and we will keep you posted on the details.

Thank you again for your love and support!

Tuesday March 22, 2011

Today was the routine visit from the Hospice nurse. Lorrie is often tired and her sleeping has increased to about 18 hours per day. Lately we have been noticing some issues with balance and short term memory loss. All of this is normal with her condition. As always Lorrie has a wonderful attitude and loves visiting with everyone.

If you would like to come for a visit we are happy to welcome you. If you could please call Phillip at 385-7431 or Bob at 216-1411 and schedule a time that would work best for everyone. At this time afternoon and early evenings work best for Lorrie.


Thank you so much for your love and care! 

Lorrie's Story

In 2003 Lorrie was diagnosed with breast cancer.  After a heroic fight of Chemotherapy, radiation and a double mastectomy she was "in remission". After two and a half years in remission, cancer was found in a routine scan. In 2006 Lorrie started treatment again. In the past year Lorrie has been through more chemotherapy and radiation treatments. In January 2011 her doctors found a tumor on her brain. She began radiation treatments immediately. At the end of January Bob and Lorrie enjoyed a trip together to Hawaii thanks to a generous donation of a time-share from dear friends. At a recent doctors visit at the beginning of March (2011) after reviewing her scans and attempting another round of chemotherapy, together, with Lorrie's doctors Bob and Lorrie decided to cease all treatments and seek the help and care of Hospice. The goal at this time is to make sure Lorrie is comfortable and well taken care of.
