Benefit Success!/**Home Visit Update**

Wow, what a wonderful Benefit! We would like to thank each one who had a part in putting this together. So many people came out to show their love and support and we were really blessed. We cannot begin to express our appreciation to all of you. Chris really enjoyed being there, seeing everyone, and performing with the Barefoot Soldiers once again. It was a joy to listen to and we were impressed with each of the bands (Trailer Kings, Audio*Otic, and Muzzy Luctin) who donated their time and talents. The silent auction was a big hit. Everything was so well organized....it was impressive. Chris' friends and friends of friends are really amazing. Their hard work, positive attitude, deep caring have been evident to us and we are truly touched. Extended family being together, their incredible generosity and fantastic slide show were more than we could've ever dreamed of. It is wonderful to have such dear friends who stand behind you at such times. Friends who give up their time...what a gift! Thank you!

Rockin for the Cas was really great! The Cas was really "Rockin!"

We were so happy that Chris was well enough to enjoy the whole evening. He now has had to have more platelets (to help with clotting), and his white blood cells are not working as well, so they have issued a "no children" over for the time being, and if anyone has been around someone who is not feeling well, if you could wait a bit before coming over. Guess we have to enforce the sanitzer again!!! :~)
