Now that we have consent from Dee to print Frank's (AKA Packer) last name, here it is with the address of the hospital so you can send cards directly. For those who have contacted me privately and sent cards and packages to my home address, rest assured they will be delivered to Frank this week.
Dee indicated that Frank may be moving to a different location soon. Dee, please let us know when this happens so we can ammend the address as needed.

| Dee,
Absolutely LOVE to hear good news!!! Tell those Docs to keep it coming...
I sure hope they forward any cards that arrive after he is gone from his current location because I just got him one off in the mail -
If you find out that they will - please let me know.
Take care,

That is terrific news. I am so glad he is making progress. If they can keep it under control for a few years, maybe some new med will come along that will eradicate it entirely. Tell him we say hello and are pulling for him.
Take care,
Eileen
