Hey there,
The Christmas season is definitely upon us and we are enjoying all the opportunities we have had which include attending our children’s choir concerts both at church and school and getting to hear Forrest play the baritone in his first band concert. It has also been fun catching up with friends and neighbors.
It’s been a good week of continued recuperation and additional tests. Last Tuesday was the echocardiogram and Thursday was the PET scan. Both tests returned results that were normal and we were very thankful. We also met with the oncologist again and were briefed on the next 9 months of chemo and radiation treatments as well as the other medications that will be administered over the next 12 months.
Last night we were treated to dinner prepared by our neighbors, the Lawsons. The meal included hard and soft tacos with ALL the fixings, Spanish rice, and Italian ice and ice cream.
Tomorrow we have another appointment with the plastic surgeon and then we go to Fairfax Hospital to have the MediPort surgically placed. The MediPort is an outpatient procedure that will have us home in time to help the kids with their home work.
It will be good to have the next couple of weeks away from all the doctors and be able to focus on the “reason for the season”. We will be spending the holidays in town with family and friends. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!

Merry Christmas Wagner Family!
Here's also wishing your family the best of health, happiness and healing in the New Year!
Love, The Hartmans
Hi Forrest and Laurie---I added your site link to our blog so extended family would have it...but I wanted to make sure that was okay...let me know!
Laurie,Forrest,Forrest,Brooke and Ridge,
I just learned about all you have been going through and want you to know you are in my prayers!! Curve balls like this are never easy but yet somehow we are given the strength to deal and go on. I pray for your strength, the doctors, the care givers and also for you to keep that strong faith! Faith has been a big part of life for our family as I just lost my Dad on Dec. 5th (kim's birthday) after a long six months of illness. It's been hard to hear of your struggles and I'm hoping we can get together and visit soon. Time passes by but I'm always thinking of you, as we have said before many times to each other!! Hugs Laurie and I'll be in touch.....xxoo
Love you, Phyllis and of course Jim, Jill, Eric and Kim too!!
Laurie & Forest,
Just came to know of Laurie's health issue. While sorry to hear about it, the Laurie I knew from Concert days is strong and resillient that I'm sure of her recovering in no time.
Forrest, let us know if there is anything we can do to help. May the gifts of the season... peace, hope, love, health and happiness be yours throughout the New Year.
