July Update

Hi there,

Just wanted to send out another quick e-mail to thank you all for joining us at Chevy's Restaurant a few weeks back. It was an amazing turn out and our family was so incredibly blessed to see so many friends there as well as meeting some amazing new people. We are in the process of planning another fund raiser (We are thinking a Pizza Party/Concert/Silent Auction at a local park) as soon as I get details I will forward them on.

As for an update on the family, Melana just found out that she will have two more months of chemo, but does not have to do radiation (because of the future risk of breast cancer and heart problems) which as you can imagine is a huge blessing. Overall, Melana is feeling well, except for the week after chemo she seems to be exhausted and has little to no energy.

Nick is due back for another check up in San Francisco on July 18th with his Endocrinologist to make sure his meds are appropriate, then on August 21st he will meet with his Oncologist and hopefully at that time we will be able to schedule his next CT scan. Please keep Nick in your prayers because he seems to get frustrated at times due to the fact that he is not able to get out a lot and doesn't have a lot of close friends. Nick seems to be in the house 24/7 due to not having an immune system and is highly susceptible to infections, and as you can imagine it is no fun for a 26 year old to stay home and give up his social life in order to ensure he stays healthy.

As far as dad's (Dave) work...he is currently looking for any remodeling jobs (he is a Licensed Contractor) including window replacements, bathroom & kitchen remodels, or any type of major or minor remodeling. If you know of anyone that needs their house remodeled please call him at Bresnyan Construction (916) 847-7937.

Thanks again for everything, we are truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives.

Living by God's Grace,

The Bresnyan's
