UT at Memphis

I have my appointment at the University of Tennesse at Memphis on February 25th. I will actually be enrolling in 2 different studies. The first one is called COHORT which is basically another observational study that involves the whole family. Chip and I will go and answer a million questions and from those answers, they will decide which drug trial is best for me. Most likely it will still be the Coenzyme Q-10 but there are 2 other trials that are now available - one is creatine and I'm not sure what the other is. All of these trials will involve several visits at first to Memphis for bloodwork. So I may be looking for friends to ride with me to Memphis when Chip doesn't have to go with me! This is all I know for now. I will tell you all more when I get back!
I just want you all to keep something in the back of your mind for me over the next couple of months. My younger sister is going to be tested for HD in April and I am having a hard time with it so please keep our whole family in your prayers when you think about it. I will also talk about this more later.
Today is my baby's 9th birthday. Cole is so much fun and has such a sweet heart. Today I am so thankful that he is a part of this family! (I do wish I could freeze time and make him stop growing while he still loves his mommy so much!)

Let me know if you're coming to Memphis. I'd be happy to ride with you or just meet you for dinner sometime.
