Happy Birthday Karri!! Final Chemo is 10/15 - hooray!!
The actual date of Karri's birthday is October 8th but we've been joyfully celebrating all week long. She's been able to go out to eat, see movies, watch Allie play volleyball, and attend church. We love watching her enjoy her favorite foods again. We are so grateful for all your support; it has been critical to help her to celebrate this birthday with gratitude for her return to good health. She continues to improve steadily each week. Pictured here: Allie (14), Brandon (24), Karri and Jerry, and Abby (6). Matthew and Jordan are away at school. Love from all of us to all of you.
Sept 13th: Happy Birthday Jerry!
The Robisons (sans Jordan away at school) celebrate. Karri has had a good weekend too! She is eating a healthy normal diet without nausea, and with the benefit of an epidural shot, she is beginning to regain some mobility. While her back pain is not entirely diminished, she has begun to get around with a cane instead of a walker - yay!
June 22: Welcome Home from the hospital Karri! Good Luck w/Chemo

Happy 6th of July Everyrone!
Karri here again, wishing everyone a belated 4th of July. We went up to Mt. Diablo in the morning to cook breakfast and I actually ate a pancake and some eggs! Of course I lost them again after hour, but it was still worth it. Also, yesterday Jerry and I had our first outing in about 2 month. We disconnected both of my machines so I was free-wheeling! We went to see the Indiana Jones Movie, very fun,and then to eat at an Asian place nearby. Of course, Jerry did most of the eating, I only had a little bit, but it was still a fun time for us to go out on our first date in a while. The main reason that I can do these things is because I'm on 2 new drugs that are really working well on my nausea - and sometimes helping me to keep my food down. Hopefully I can start getting out more and trying to live a semblance of a normal life - especially once I get rid of my machines, which should be in a few weeks. Thanks again for everyone's love and support- I'll write again soon.

"Karri Unplugged"
In her latest 'release', Karri takes in a movie, eats on a mountain, and visits a restaurant, as her true spirited self shines through! Glad she's back! This one's a winner.
