[TR] Update on TriumphBob

[TR250Driver at aol.com]

Hi, 
Bob is still in the Cleveland Clinic and has gone thru another 7  day Chemo 
treatment. What followed was a series of stomach  problems and two weeks of 
misery that really took him to the brink.   Last Sunday he was finally able 
to hold down some solid food,  "Diced pears, 6 teaspoons of mashed  
potatoes and 1 tater tot made for a superb day!"  according to his wife, Ava who 
has the  following request that I would like to share with all his Triumph  
friends: 
I have a specific prayer request at  this time.  Bob will have another bone 
marrow biopsy on Thursday,  4/1.  We MUST get the results showing NO 
leukemia cells present in his  marrow.  His body is still fighting a very serious 
infection and he would  not be able to have more chemo should the results be 
otherwise so, PLEASE pray  for a marrow clear of any leukemia cells. 
Again.....thank you for all the Emails, cards and  prayers.  Bob IS getting 
better, but his biggest hurdle is just around the  corner. 
Fondly,
Ava

Hi Guys,
Just thought I should post a note about our dear friend  Bob Palmer. I am 
sure many of you know him for he has been my sidekick for  nearly 20 years 
now as we have done all things Triumph together.  We  recently made the trek 
to the NATC in SLO together.  It was a great life  time experience for both 
of us.  Bob has been in the Cleveland  Clinic for a week now battling an 
acute blood disorder that came on  suddenly.  Aggressive Chemo Therapy has been 
conducted for 7 days and now  Bob is resting and awaiting bone marrow tests 
which will determine the next  course of treatment.  He is in good spirits 
and a strong person so the  prognosis for a full recovery is good. If you 
would like to send him a note  of encouragement for a full recovery his e-mail 
is _TriumphBob at aol.com_ (mailto:TriumphBob at aol.com) .  His lovely wife Ava 
is by his side  and printing out all his e-mails for him. 
God Bless  Him,
Darrell
