GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE,

WOW WHERE DO WE START. OUR WEEKEND WENT SO FAST. SAT WE GOT UP HAD A NICE BIG LATE BREAKFAST, WATCHED SOME TV, DID SOME RUNNING AROUND GOT HOME HAD DESSERT WHILE SUPPER WAS FINISHING THEN PLUGGED IN OUR PINK TIGER DVD AND CRIED LIKE LITTLE BABIES. HOW VERY SPECIAL YOU ALL MADE IT, JUST TO SEE EVERYONE AND HOME WAS UNBELIEVABLE I STILL CANT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS ALL FOR ME, YOU ARE ALL HELPING SO MUCH TO MAKE THIS MORE BEARABLE.WE ARE STILL TRYING TO READ THE ENTIRE CARD. WE HUNG IT ON THE WALL SO I CAN LOOK AT IT EVERYDAY. THEN WE MADE THE BOYS WATCH A NOT SO GOOD CHICK FLICK. THEN SUNDAY CAME ALL TOO FAST AND THE WEATHER WAS BAD AT HOME SO WE GOT KAYLA AND RICK ON THE ROAD BY 9:30, THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS THANK GOODNESS. WE GOT THEM ON THE ROAD AND TOOK A 3 MILE WALK DOWN 18TH ST.AND BACK. HAD SOME BREAKFAST, DID LAUNDRY, SOME CLEANING AND GOT READY TO WATCH THE BRONCOS.

TODAY WE HAD CLINIC, BLOOD COUNTS WERE OKAY, THE DR TALKED ABOUT THE NEXT BONE BIOPSY ON THE 22ND WHERE WE SEE WHERE WE REALLY STAND, BUT THEY DONT THINK THIS CHEMO IS WORKING WELL, AND OPTION 2 THAT WE WANTED I CANT HAVE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD AN ALLO TRANSPLANT, SO OPTION 3 BETTER BE THE ONE. WE LEFT CLINIC HEADED FOR APT HAD SOME LUNCH SO I COULD TAKE MY "TANNING PILL", THEN AT 2 WE WENT FOR THAT TREATMENT, NOW WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET ON THE COMPUTER AND PLAY CATCH UP. WE DONT HAVE ANYTHING SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW SO WILL CATCH UP ON THING AROUND HERE.

THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIENDS!!!LOVE YOU BRENDA AND MY WONDERFUL CAREGIVER BRIAN

Hi, hope this treatment kicks in. You sure do deserve some good news! Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and praying as always. Am headed to Delta tomorrow and hoping the roads are good. I'll stop in Palisade on my way down to watch Leigh's volleyball team. Hope they continue to win!!! Looking forward to seeing the little girls as Raegan is changing so much. Sounds like that Brian's being a pretty good big brother but what I wonder is how good a cook he is. I bet he cons you into making most of the meals doesn't he? We all know what a good cook you and your mom are. Well, you guys take care. Thinking of you. Love, Amy

Hi Brenda, Brian and all:
Sorry that this treatment isn't working like they want it to. I hope and pray the 3rd option is the one for you! Glad you liked the video - we all had fun doing it. It is so great that Brian is able to be there with you. Had today off from work for Columbus Day so it's back to work tomorrow. It's always interesting after a long weekend and usually very chaotic with court. Hope your week goes well. Love, Julie

You know what they say-third times the charm-so this should be the one! Didn't get my report done as I ended up taking Sheridan to the ER to get her left elbow put back in place. Didn't know ring around the rosy was so rough did ya! She has too loose ligaments or something and her elbows can pop out pretty darn easy. Hurts like a you know what til its back in then she is fine. hadn't had it happen for almost a year so thought we were done but I guess not! Supposed to stop when she's 4 or 5 so not much longer!! So she came home with me to "lax" for the afternoon.
Hope you had a nice "laxing" day today-love you much-and prayers always Trudy

Brenda, I'm sorry I haven't written lately but last week was a busy week around here. Steve and the girls were here for the Western Junior Stock Show. Enjoyed having them. Renee and Tee came down for one day and watched the girls show. Friday Carol's son Kevin and family came and they spent the weekend with me. I do enjoy having company.
I hope that your Option #3 is the one for you. It is so nice that Brian is there with you. I know your mom would rather be with you but sometimes we have to go to WORK!! Take care and keep smiling. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Joanne
