Irene continues to live above her circumstances and enters 2012 with abundant hope faith and optimism.  Her dialysis days continue to be a significant challenge but she courageously faces the next with rigor and enthusiasm.

THANK YOU for the many who continue to CARE and check in.  I’ve been using Facebook as a platform to express our daily comings and goings because of its ease of use…but this website remains a special and more intimate expression of our spiritual lives…and certainly has been a very powerful means for updating those closest to Irene on this surreal journey.  She reminded me this morning that there is no cure for Primary Amyloidosis…yet she’s determined to OVERCOME.

We wish you and yours a prosperous, abundant 2012 and beyond…!!!

Thanks for checking in.  It’s been awhile since I’ve done an update but for those of you who are connected via Facebook you’ve got a really good idea of what’s going on…!!!

Irene’s journey continues…with some really good days and enjoying the holiday season.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays remain the most difficult because the electrolytes and dialysis treatment rears the ugly nausea monster.  She tustles through those challenging afternoon/evening/nights and usually recovers by the following day.

Last evening we had a really fun dinner with Matt, Shannon & Jake Fidiam (Caleb was pre-occupied) at Little Tampico Restaurant in Soquel.

Feel free to connect via Facebook since my business travel prevents me from doing extensive IreneDias.com updates at this time.

Thanks for CARING…!!!

Thanks for checking in.

Irene’s routine has been steady…weekend reprieve and brutal dialysis days on Monday, Wednesday and Friidays. She’s experiencing a VERY ROUGH afternoon.

Last weekend was fun with a visit with Greg & Colleen Dias (my bro and his bride) but it’s back to the ruthless and unrelenting GRIND for Irene today.

Hoping for a better tomorrow…

…but I am compelled to conclude with this parting observation…I have NEVER met ANYONE with the stamina, positive attitude, poise, grace and faith that Irene has exhibited on this entire journey…

Thanks for caring,
Dave
