Our entire family wants to thank everyone for their continues support. From home repairs over the weekend, continued house cleaning, food, trips to Houston, support, prayers, etc, etc, etc.. I cannot think of all the ways you have helped and supported us through all of this. Cathy is in Houston today. Will be going into the hospital today or tomorrow (they are very full and she needs to wait for an open bed in the right area) Once she gets in they expect her to be in the Hospital for 2 - 4 weeks. I am betting closer to the 4 but Cathy is shooting for 2 in the hospital and 2 in the apt.

If you want to send her a card/letter, here is the address for the hospital. Her birthday is Oct 3. Feel free to send cards/little gifts as you desire. However, no flowers, live plants, etc. They will not be allowed on the floor.

MD Anderson Cancer Center

1515 Holcombe Blvd. Room G1184
Houston, TX 77030

Address to the apartment when she gets there is:

Cathy Burson

8181 Fannin St #1316

Houston, TX 77054

Also one neat thing that we found out about last time is that she is able to get messages via the centers web site. Keep in mind that she is not updating the journal (that is what I use facebook and the blog for :) ), only the "Message to a Patient".
