It's just a sick spleen!!

Okay so everybody who reads this blog - you have to know Courtney - well, she gave us quite a scare. A couple of weeks ago she had all these bruises popping up all over her body. So she went to the doc and they took some blood samples - well, she ended up having this crazy unknown auto immune disease that was eating up her platelets - and they had to take all these tests (that is why she couldn't come to the party) - anyway, she is on some medication that has brought her platelet count
up. It was not cancer - THANK GOD! And they said if the disease comes back (it's 50/50 chance that it could come back) then they would have to remove her spleen - of course, we don't want them to remove her spleen but we were all just thankful it wasn't anything else. Anyway, Mary Helen decided to get some of the girls together for a "Thank God, it's just a sick spleen" party. We went to Amerigo Sunday night - such a good time. And we all decided that we were just going to start having parties every few weeks - - it can be anything - just an excuse to get together - and Courtney came up with a great one ... "Whew - the E.P.T. test is negative..." party!! HAHAHA!! I couldn't stop laughing at that one!!
