Chris Gibbons Health Update

Hi friends,

Some of my friends said I should email all my friends with an update.

Well, December 3rd was a year for me and I beat the odds and I’m still kicking.  It’s been the worse year of my life.  Still a long road and another surgery to remove some of my colon in January.

Last month they found a mass at the back of my brain.  My oncologist has not seen the scan yet and nothing official has been diagnosed.  However, I have a history of brain cancer in my family.

I’m going to work very hard to beat it if in fact it’s cancer.  I’m even scared to have a biopsy.  I’m going back to the Cancer Treatment Center’s of America in Tulsa to have my oncologist diagnose it.

I really don’t know the future but god does.  As I write this I’m crying and fear the worse.  If you got this email then it’s because I think the world of you and wanted to say thanks for being a friend.

I am right with god and am very comfortable to know that I am going to heaven one day.

Well, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, and Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what everyone had did for me and my family this past year.

In kindest spirits,
Your Friend, comrade, and brother
Chris

Fire Wash U

An electrical fire in the Bear’s Den kitchen forced evacuation of the dining hall and all of South 40 House at around 9:35 p.m. Tuesday evening. No injuries were reported.
The motor in one of the ice machines in the kitchen shorted and caused the fire.
Reports of damage were mixed.
“The damage to the facility is zero, except for the ice machine,” said Nadeem Siddiqui, resident district manager for Bon Appétit.
According to Washington University police Sgt. Ron Newbold, the sprinkler system was activated, extinguishing the fire, and there was water and smoke damage.
