Keeping Up With Karen

There is a great way to keep in contact with Karen and Bob as she undergoes treatment at M. D. Anderson and beyond. It's called CaringBridge.

This is a site designed to help folks who are ill or undergoing treatment to keep in touch with their friends and neighbors and vice versa. It is a combination guest book and newsletter, all available from that big computer in the sky called the Internet. And participation is free, although donations to keep the system going are accepted.

You will need to register on the site to view her section. All it takes is your email address and a password which you make up.

Once on Karen's page, you can check a box and you'll be sent an email each time Karen updates her page. It's a painless way to be kept in the loop of her activities.

Her website name on CaringBridge is "karenfoslien".

Some from the park have already posted messages in her guestbook. As we are now pretty much scattered all over the country, this will be a great way to keep in touch and encourage her and Bob as they proceed down a path with an undefined destination.
