Hi There!
My family had quite a scare today. We were in Indianapolis celebrating Lizzie's graduation from Butler University this weekend, and our friend Cheryl who was watching Barney said he was acting funny. We came home and rushed him to a 24 hour vet. clinic because he was tripping and slipping and walking in circles and bumping into things. We thought he may have had a stroke (the poor little sweetie is also a cancer survivor and 13 years old!), however the vet. thinks that he could have Vertigo from an inner ear infection or Vestibular Syndrome which affects balance in older dogs. We don't have a verdict yet, but our little baby is finally resting comfortably after a little Valium. He is spending the night at the hospital, and we will know more tomorrow.
I was down at NMH on Thursday taking pictures for yet another cancer brochure. My article in the Lifetime of Health magazine came out. I grabbed several copies so if any of you would like one, let me know! I have the Cancer Survivor Walk coming up on June 3 where I am going to be on one of the banners with a quote, and then I was taking pictures for a brochure for the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern. When cancer patients see all of these publications, they are going to say, "Who is this crazy girl, and why does she keep on showing up on every cancer brochure?!" It is fun though.
I am in charge of corporate sponsorship for the Barrington Relay for Life on June 9, and that has been really fun. It is amazing how a personal story, and a little bit of socializing can assist with fundraising. I have been having a lot of fun getting area businesses to donate to the cause and my favorite part is getting silent auction prizes!
Happy Mother's Day!

SO WHAT HAPPENED TO BURNEY?
Our little Barney came home yesterday and is the victim of a terrible inner ear infection. (Probably the worst the doctor had ever seen!) He is like a drunk little guy bumping into things and cocking his head one way. He is going to be fine though, and as his antibiotics work, he will most likely regain balance. We love him so much!
