received this from Don today.

Well, not too much to report. Kelly is feeling pretty good and has us on the run. We have been doing a lot of shopping here lately.

Right now we are waiting for her platelet count to come up to start her oral chemo. All of the other blood counts are up, but the platelets are moving a little slower. They are higher now than they have been for a while, but they want them at a certain level before they start the next round of chemo. So, we will go in on Monday for a blood draw and if they are up, we will probably start on Tuesday. This won't be as bad as past treatments, as this is in pill form and she will take one pill each night before she goes to bed. Something we can do at home. She then has to go in once a week for a blood draw.

Everyone is ready to go home. The girls miss their dogs and their own house. Kelly wants to get home to start planning for graduation. She is getting pretty excited. She also misses her friends and the activities at school. We don't know how much school she will be able to attend, have to keep her away from as many germs as possible, but she wants to do what she can.

That is about it for today. God Bless!!

Don
