Dear Louis:

 

Just a note to express my gratitude for continuing to make it possible for us to go to the Y.  We are still on our journeys, some weeks are better than others.  Elliot has lost a total of 38 lbs. and I have lost a total of 32 lbs. We continue to follow the 11 grams of fat or less a day. 

 

Elliot is working on his cycling merit badge with the scouts, they camped out and biked 20 miles on the Natchez Trace this past weekend.  He enjoys it.  Plus he just got invited to participate at Philmont in New Mexico this coming summer.  Its a two week back pack expedition with the scouts.  Not all scouts get this opportunity, but Elliot has proved his abilities as an avid back packer.  So we will be trying to get him in shape for that for sure, it will be a little more strenuous than anything he has done so far.  I think he has some reservations about it, but as well it can be motivation for him.

 

I will be doing my clinical exams at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta November 14, 15, and 16. I ask for your prayers.  I am wound like a top, its very nerve wracking preparing for this.  But I believe in the power of prayer, and I have just been asking people to say a prayer for me.

 

Once again I cannot thank you enough Louis, you truly are an angel that God has sent to us.

 

Love, Marguerite
