Wens.Sept.10

Hi everyone.
Wow. this day is moving alot faster than me. Met with the folks who have set her up at Brent's Place, Coy came and we went over together, it is going to work very well for her, they gave us quite a tour, now if I just remember where all to go (I get lost at home, imagine down here). She seems to feel some better today and dealing alot better with all the twist and turns she has be handed . Sundance, YOU ROCK. Maybe I can even walk with you that night I should be home!!! It goes without saying I love Brenda but to have our town honor the 3 other Pink Tigers whom I've come to Love as well truly makes me just one more time so very proud to call this home . Each of the 4 girls for sure all have their own special story but all dealing with this scary thing called leukemia, having each other to share their feelings and fears with and to know the other one knows exactly how it is and just has an understanding of things the rest of us can only imagine. Once again we have been blessed. Brenda & Stacie were admitted the same day, Stacie is so precious ,so fragile such a tiny tiny little gal and the mother of 9 yr.old twins Yes I could just steal them all . Her husband is one in a million besides caring for her and the boys he has a job, AND as well helps care for Stacie's mother who was struck with A.L.L. about a year ago. She received her transplant Aug.7 and after a few rough weeks is home doing awesome. Kathy came 1 week later , this gal is also someone very special, her most important things in life are her children, grandchildren & a wonderful husband who has not left her side in all these months. She was the first to receive a transplant and is well on the road to hopefully a full recovery. Debbie came a month later, she hates being so far behind as she doesn't want everyone leaving her here alone. She is to be so reassured we are all going to be here long enough to see her through the worst of it. She is from Aspen and has a 14 yr. girl and 12yr.boy and a very attentive husband who stays as well as her parents take turns. I know everyone would love these gals just as we do.. Hope this kind of gives you an idea of just who the Pink Tigers are Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are suppose to move on Fri. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until tomorrow . Love to all chick

    Hi, glad she's getting out of the hospital, that alone might help with the recovery. It seems like you can never get any rest as they are waking you up all hrs. and I swear, they will wake you up to give you a sleeping pill. Chicken, I hope you are getting rest and taking care of yourself. This is so hard on everyone but hopefully, she's on the road to recovery and things can only get better. Have someone coming in about an hour to look at the house and actually had a call a little while ago. I just hope it sells pretty soon since our house in Delta is finished. It's raining here again today and I'm ready for some sunshine. You two take care and hope the move will be a better place for the two of you. Take care, Love, Amy

    Chicken & Brenda,
    It sounds like you guys have gotten to know these gals pretty well and I'm sure that you will keep in touch with them long after you are all back at your homes. Brought together by the same illness will be a lasting relationship. Don't get too tired out with this next move even though it will be a good move and surely a positive one. I'm sure they wouldn't let you move out of the hospital if they had any concerns. It's day 21 and I have had you on my mind all day. Hopefully the move from Brent's House will be back here to Sundance and to all the people who love and care about you so much. Will be waiting to hear how the move goes.
    Charlene

    Brenda:

    tonight at Missionettes, as we were closing, getting ready to go home. . .I asked if any of the girls had a prayer concern they wanted us to pray with them about. Little Teddy Marchant shot her arm up in the air and asked that we pray for "Brenda, the girl who works at Hillside." Just wanted you to know that about twenty little girls prayed for you to get better real soon this evening. You are loved.

    So glad you have such great friends and companions there, too. These "Tigers" sound like real inspirations. You are lucky to have them to lean on. Glad to hear about Brent's Place and your move on Friday. Love, Helen

    Chicken and Brenda
    It is great that you have all those extra support people to share experiences and expectations with. We think and pray for you often. It is good to hear that you get to move to outpatient status - this is a step in the right direction. Just don't over do it and take care of yourselves. We got about 3/4inch of rain tonight, it was a great shower. Put up a batch of salsa tonight and still have more tomatoes, which is good as it sounds like many haven't gotten that many tomatoes. My mom picked me up a couple of flats also so have those to deal with too.
    Keep up that positive attitude and know that we are cheering for you on the sidelines "GO TIGERS GO"
    LOVE YOU
    Deb
