Day 25 down

I wrote about day 24 but it must have gotten lost in cyberspace.  Our friends Mike and Lisa came back down from Idaho for her next set of treatments and they were giving me a hard time for not posting.  I guess I figure there is nothing new so why post.  Sorry for the delay in postings!

Anyway Alyssa has gotten 25 doses.  We have decided not to go in on the weekend because it is a very frustrating time.  The cardiologists either read the ekg wrong or we have to wait for 3 hours just for them to read it.  If all goes well she will be done with arsenic FOREVER on Tuesday.  After she gets that done she will have the bone marrow biopsy and then we go from there.  It takes a week for the results from the biopsy.  She had to go to the doctor and get a physical and the dentist for a checkup before her transplant.  We found a doctor and a dentist that our insurance would pay for and went to them this week.

Kelsey got here yesterday.  She decided she wanted to come a little earlier than Kirk.  Her Uncle Kevin and Aunt Debbie were in Omaha picking up their son.  He served in the Omaha Mission for our church.  Kelsey drove out with them.  They ran into bad weather so they stayed the night in Evanston.  She is looking for a job and wants to go to school in the fall.  If you know of any jobs out there please let us know.

Kirk's last day in the office is March 18th.  He is busy getting the house packed up with the help of some sweet ladies from our church.  He is also painting some rooms in the house because the feedback of the people looking at the house have said they don't like the paint.  We are hoping that this will speed the selling of our house.  Please keep us in your prayers that this house can sell fast so we can begin a somewhat normal life again.

My dear friend, Cheri, sent me the news story below.  I wanted to share it with you.  It is about a blind quilter.  As you all know I love to quilt.  This lady's story is very good.  I hope that it will inspire you to be a better person.

Thanks again for everyone's concern for Alyssa and my family.  Words could never express my gratitude.
