Pray for better news

2/23/07

Well, we got news of Kelly's biopsy today. Sadly to say they did find what they think is leukemia in the sample. We will meet with the doctor on Monday to find out what our next step will be. It sound like they will do the next round of chemo here and then we may be able to go home and do the chemo there. I think they might put her on some oral type chemo. Don't have a lot of answers right now, but will know more when we meet with the doctor on Monday.

Molly and Rose got back from Cut Bank this morning. It sure is nice to have everyone together again. We might go out to Marcy's tomorrow depending on how Kelly feels. She is a little sore from her procedure yesterday. I think she is feeling better though, she is teaching Patty how to play a video game on the Game Cube. It is kind of funny to watch Patty as she doesn't play very often.

I will update everyone when we find out more from the doctor. Please keep Kelly in your prayers and that this latest news will not be a big set back for her treatments.

God Bless,

Don

Please use the weekend to do some extra praying.

I am Kelly's aunt and am going to help Marcy out with keeping blog updated. Gavin is walking and so she has less time and with pregancy also more tired.

Usually I will just post copy of Don's updates that he emails.

Kelly's last bone marrow showed no signs of luekemia and doctors consider her in remission. The CT scan is on the lymph glands that were swollen.

Kelly had her CT scan today and now will have a biopsy on Thursday. The doctors sounded like they weren't sure exactly what it is. The one doctor said these could have been there since birth or could be caused by the chemo. They won't know for sure until they do the biopsy on Thursday.

Everything is going pretty well right now. Kelly and I got tickets to a Sonics game tonight. We had a lot of fun. The seats were pretty good too, 18 rows up from the floor at one corner. We had a blast watching everything that goes on at a game.

Well, better get to bed for the night.

God Bless,

Don

Kelly's sisters have been with us for week and we sure enjoyed having them and getting a chance to spoil them. They both commented how nice it was to eat in a normal family setting not a dining room with 20 other families. They also enjoyed having some alone time. Their dogs were real glad to see them.

Kelly's classmates put on an awesome fundraiser for her last Sunday. They had a Mr Upperclassman pageant. The guys hammed it up and did a fabulous job of entertaining everyone. There also were 3 prayer quilts made for Kelly. One of the quilts was available for everyone to sign. Molly and Rose are taking those back to Kelly along with other things people have gave them. Cut Bank area has really been supportive of the family.

Also thanks to all who continually pray for Kelly and her family and caregivers.
