On Monday, February 25th, the newest member of our family came into the world. Her name is Madeline Savina Fleenor and she is the cutest, chubbiest, sweetheart of a baby girl. Of course, she looks more like a month old baby than a newborn. Perhaps that's because she weighed in at 9 pounds, 7.3 ounces and was 21" long. She now holds the record for all our babies. Her daddy was close at 9 pounds, 6.5 ounces. Her brother Jameson is enthralled with his "Banana Girl" which is the name he gave her months ago when he found out he was having a baby sister. As his mother got ready to leave for the hospital, he asked if after Banana Girl got out of her stomach, would she be putting Banana Boy in? I guess he still wants a baby brother.
I go see the beautiful Dr. Batezini this morning. It's been about a month since I had my last bone marrow biopsy, so I expect today I will finally get the results and the appointment is not just so I can check out her shoes!
Everything has been going so well, I almost dread this appointment this morning. I am slowly getting a little more energy back. I can go all day without feeling like I'm going to keel over if I don't get a nap. I can stay up past 7:00 p.m. on occasion. I'm back to getting up in the morning between 4:00 and 5:00. I even have all my Christmas decorations down and packed away and there were times when I felt GOOD that I still had a piece or two lingering until Independence Day!
I need to be given a clean bill of health today so I can help the elections staff get ready for the May 6th specific purpose optional tax election and then it's on to the primary and general. Those are the days that I have to be at the office putting on the first pot of coffee no later than 5:45 a.m. Of course, there was that one time that I raced into the office at about 6:15 a.m. without a shower, no makeup, and hair looking like a spent dish rag because I forgot to set my alarm. There's still plenty of talk about that in the office.
I hope anyone and everyone who reads this on occasion is doing well and finding the new year treating them right. I want to again thank everyone for their concern, prayers, and good thoughts during these past several months. I know in my heart that it was because of all of you that I am still kicking today!

Debbye - I will be praying the report you get today will be the absolute Best News Ever. You looked great at the meetings and your staff tells me you are back to your "old self". Everytime I start to panic about anything going on in my life, I go to your website and am reminded of the courage, strength and humor you face each day with. - you Rock, lady, and Congratulations on your new grandbaby. That, more than anything, gives you purpose and will power.
Hi Debbye,
I was sitting here thinking of you and thought I would drop you a note. Hope you are feeling good and congratulations on your new granddaughter! I agree with Renea that "you rock" and you are an inspiration to us all! Take care and see you soon!
