A prayer for Fred Hi all. As many of you know, Fred is not doing so well these days. He is very slowly trying to pass the threshold from this life to the next. He seems to be in no pain, and while he can no longer eat or drink or open his eyes or speak, he can...
WARNING: MASSIVE CHOCO BLOWOUT BLITZKRIEG!!!!!
Earthcake Rose baked the cake (dairy free chocolate cake with avocado chocolate frosting that was vaguely herbal, strangely earthy, but creamy delish). Dennis lit the fire. Chris blew the wind. And River marveled at it all.
Deirdre Timmons
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
