"Hello Again! "

It has been a long time since we have connected so,  I say to you all   "Hello Again."   

It has been 7 weeks since Kent has had his 2nd surgery.   The colon rresection went very well and he is doing great! Praise God!  Kent has been back at work for 2 weeks now and things are going very smoothly for him.  He seems to enjoy being back though he misses watching every episode of "Star Wars." and "Lord of the Rings."  I however am not missing him watching those :) 

Just as we seemed to be back into the swing of things my Dad's battle with cancer seemed to decline.  ( see care pages and DaveBreenCarePage for the details on his cancer journey)  which is why we are now just saying  "Hello Again." to all of you.  This month has been a lot of ups and downs and information that we are selves are trying to grasp. 

My Dad has been battling cancer for 8 years now.  He up to date has been doing very well.  He  had very few medical interruptions.  This past December that changed and we have been on a roller coaster ever since.  I don't want to get any of the medical information wrong in transcribing it to you so if you care to, you may create a care page acct. and  follow his journey and pray along with us for a miracle. Thank You on behalf of the Breen family for all of those who are all ready praying!

This spring has been very cold and I can't wait to say "Hello Again." to the more spring like temperatures, spring flowers and family time outside!  Kent on the other hand is still praying for snow.  Maybe that is why it is still cold.  :)

Lydia continues to make us very proud as parents.  She has excelled in school and stays very busy with tutoring and gymnastics and we as a family attending Gilda's Club a support for those with and who are affected with cancer.  She comes out of Gilda's and amazes us with her shared thoughts of those who go through cancer.  A couple of weeks ago she told us of a boy in her "group" that had cancer.  Her knowledge at age 8 is remarkable.  We are proud!

 I pray that you Cherish each family moment that God has granted.  Tell those around you something that is special about them, Praise God in whatever you do, and help those around you.!

  Until we say "Hello Again."     LEAH
