It's Friday already! Mom is doing really well! Kam took her to get blood work on Monday and Wednesday...Wednesday afternoon she got platelets. She has been feeling really good this week. Last night Rachel spent the night with them so she'd have someone at home in case she started feeling bad...this morning Kam and Rachel took her for blood work again. She just got some platelets and will be admitted at noon for 2 units of blood. She should be out by 8pm or so tonight and back home. Jessika is spending the night tonight so she has someone with her tomorrow while Dad is at work. When she gets a fever she gets really sick, really fast and we need someone there to watch her and call to get her to the hospital, she really can't do it on her own...

But we are certainly hopeful that she will get through this treatment without an infection and start feeling better again by the end of next week.

We got some really exciting news yesterday. Her brother Dave and his daughter Kari are coming for a visit! They'll be here from the 4th to 9th of September. For both Mom's and his birthdays! The last time Dave was here was for my wedding in 1994 and I think the last time we saw them was in 2001... (Mom and Dad may have been back there once since then but I can't remember for sure) so we are really excited!
