Fri.Aug.29.
Hi. Again I will attemt to fill in and let everyone know how its going. She felt good this a.m. and thought she would be up doing this but afternoon finds her again with a fever and temps rising, a reading of high blood pressure ,great more drugs , But whatever it takes. Her rash was so much better this a.m. so thought we were flying high, this morn her urine was pure blood but that also cleared up they feel that her body is sluffing off the old bad cells, chemo related. She also woke u p with the bloody eyes,all swollen and buggy looking, I knew she was going to freak when she saw herself as the day we got her they were wheeling a lady out with those eyes besides many more things needless to say!!!! But for sure she has never got the sight out of her mind but nether did the rest of us, so sorry she had to witness it and worry about it. Today she is getting more blood and platelet's and enough drugs to put her back in her own little world.. The good thing is we did have good more than half day!! Kind of tense moment as what ever they gave her for the blood pressure,gave her alittle panice attack, heart racing,and very anxious,that was also fixable with another drug.. Geez how many drugs can your body take and ever return to healthy???????????????????????? Sorry to everyone I talked to earlier to have to let you down but today we started off good ,tomorrow we'll just start all over maybe it will last all day!!! We can hope..... She does have the ability to turn on a dime , next time it will be for the good....Thanks for caring it means so much to all of us.. It's a long weekend hope everyone has a wonderful & safe one... Love to all chick

Thanks again for keeping us updated. I am sorry that things didn't go as well this afternoon but I am praying this is just the first of the road to a full recovery. Stay stong and know we are all praying for you both.

Chicken - I just want to remind you what a wonderful lady you are. Remember to take care of the caretaker. You are doing an excellent job at this blogging stuff. We are praying that the bad days will soon be behind, and she can begin the road to smooth sailing.
I finally have tomatoes ripening so I have enough to start canning salsa, that is my chore for tonight along with plum jelly. Better get to it as it doesn't seem to get done with me just thinking about it. I made a batch of salsa at the beginning of the week and it got eaten before I could get it in jars.
We will continue to say prayers for Brenda to start feeling better soon. LOVE YOU guys.

I miss you girls so much. I'm glad Sis is doing OK. We are having fun with Kyle and Leah in North Carolina. Luke really likes his North Carolina cousin. Have a good weekend and we'll talk to you tomorrow.
Love you,
Coy, Hannah and Lukey Bear
Hi, sorry this afternoon was so rough. I can't imagine what all those drugs can do to your body. Just hope and pray that things get better for her fast. She has a lot of prayers for her and I do believe in the power of prayer. I just got the girls to bed and am watching the Broncos. Had a busy day with having meetings with the builder, having a flat tire, making roast beef dinner for Annie and watching the girls because Leigh and Kirk had their first games. Leigh's team won and Kirk's is still playing. Hope they win because he deserves it with all of his hard work. You guys take care and know that we think of you often. Your not far from our thoughts. Love, Amy
Chicken,
Sending you prayers and hugs:)
Stay strong and take care of yourself too. I hope Brenda feels better soon. Love ya!

Hi Aunt Chicken! Thanks for the updates. You make sure you take care of yourself also. You are both in our thoughts and prayers. Am starting to get alot of stuff from the garden. Let me know when you want some! Hugs and Love to you both! Love-Staci and Tate
Hi Chicken and Sissy, We hope your night goes well. We've been thinking about you and will be saying extra prayers for Brenda! We made it safely to NC and the boys enjoyed a day of golfing, of course the us girls and L shopped:) Luke got 2 new pairs of shoes... lucky boy.
Coy is trying to stay awake to watch his beloved Broncos, but I think we may head to bed! We love you both and hope tomorrow is a better day!!! Talk to you soon, please call if you need anything, even if you just want to say hello!!
Lots of Love

Chicken & Brenda,
Virgil's favorite saying is better living through chemistry (drugs)--an old saying from the flower power years of the 60's. I guess Brenda is living those years even though she wasn't even born till the late sixty's. Drugs have come a long way with so much research being done and hopefully when Brenda is uncomfortable those drugs can make her more comfortable and will accept the new bone marrow with open arms. Hopefully her fever will subside and so will her blood pressure. I suppose the other gals that went through their transplants went through all these bad reactions also so you guys were prepared. We all know how strong Brenda is and she will come through these problems with flying colors just as she has with this whole ordeal. Keep the faith. Love to you all.

Hey you two-
Well both of our season's are off to a great start. My team won and so did Kirk's. Sure does feel good to have that to start off with. Just need to get that Sissy feeling better and life will be great!! Keep fighting and take care! Love you both so much!
Kirk, Leigh and Girls
Will put in some extra prayers for a while til Brenda is feeling better. You take care too Chicken as we all love you too!! I am sure she is getting rid of that bad stuff and will be on the road to a long healthy life soon so that you can be home again! Since I am not usually up this late will go to bed and say my prayers-Sleep well both of you Love Trudy
Hi, It's my second night of seven on at work, so I'll be checking in during the wee hours of the morning to see how it's going. This weekend should keep us hopping. Next year I'm going to request all holidays off. HA!HA! Hopefully the morning will bring a day of feeling better.
Love, Leslie
Hope tomorrow is a better day all day long. So sorry the "good" didn't last all day, but it will soon. Love to both of you. Helen
Oh Aunt Chicken I wish I was there to give you a squeeze. A sterilized one of course.

You are such a wonderful woman thank you for keeping us updated it surely helps. Extra thoughts, love and prayers for all today!!! Love and hugs, Julie
