Well I hate to be the bearer of good news, but Mia's most recent MRI revealed another clear scan - which makes her cancer free for 20 months now since the removal of her tumor. I'm getting my happy little girl back more and more now. She has a lot more energy now that the chemo has been working its way out of her system.

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/miathinnes . It should make a real nice scrapbook for her someday. I don't go back and read it too often cause it makes me cry. I even have a hard time looking at pictures of her over the last 20 months. It often makes me feel like a little bitch when I think about how a person can dwell on their problems and then along comes a little kid that just blows you out of the water and shows you what a real problem is. She makes me pretty proud to be her Daddy and pretty humble that I'm responsible for bringing her into the world.

We still have a long way to go before they consider her cancer free, but the doctor's initially told us that there was a good chance of curing her. We listened to them and followed their protocol. What they didn't tell us, is that the process would fix us. Our marriage is so much stronger now than before and the family is really a team. It isn't utopia, but we aren't two selfish people trying to extract things we need or want.

Anyway, I made a comment before the game last week that I was good to go whether the Packers won or lost. Well Mia won again, so the Packers will just have to reload and go for it next year and I'm not losing a minute of sleep over this year's choke job.

Most excellent news indeed, Troy.

It lifts my heart to hear that Mia is getting back to where a little girl should be.
Tough road for her, but she comes from good stock....on her mothers side that is.[grin1]

It is sometimes strange that tribulations may end up with good results, but the fact that it has had a positive impact on your entire family is most good to hear.

Give my best to your little girl, her sisters and your wife.


And I don't care what the rest of the world says DT, for a dumbass, you're a hell of good guy.

If anyone is holding a pity party over the Packers season, then well tough shit. They had a hell of a year but were a flawed team. And that had more to do with the defense than thy offense.

Rodgers earned every vote of his MVP award.

Now on to the important stuff.. that is most excellent news Troy. On all fronts.. you and your family not only managed through a rough time.. you all grew as a family and refocused on life. Not all families could do the same... much less trials tear families apart daily.

A "JJ Watt" type salute to your entire family.. and a bonus one to Mia for her bravery and determination.

dfosterf (5h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (5h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (6h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (6h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (6h) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (7h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (7h) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (7h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (7h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (7h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (10h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (10h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (11h) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?
dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
