Kelly's feeling great!

Kelly had a bone marrow and spinal tap yesterday, but she is feeling surprisingly good today. Normally those tests knock her out for a few days, and she had chemo as well, but she stayed in a quiet, dark room to prevent a spinal headache and the doctors gave her anti-nausea medication with her chemo, which seemed to help.

I talked to her on the phone and haven't heard her sound this good since before she was diagnosed! Very encouraging!!

After a brief (hopefully) doctor's visit tomorrow morning she should have a four-day stretch of time off. We are all hoping to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory sometime this weekend and have them over for the day on Monday.

Molly and Rose had their first day of school yesterday, only to have their next day (today) cancelled due to bad weather. The Seattle area has received quite a beating this winter weatherwise, with a huge power outage in December and more snow than most people remember getting in years. It just dumped on us again last night. They got about 2" in Seattle at the Ronald McDonald House, but here in Issaquah, we got about 10". A little piece of Montana!

Please continue to pray that Kelly would keep feeling better and better. Getting these glimpses of her feeling herself gives us so much hope and reminds us of what we're fighting for.
