Katie made it home from her Dads without incident! I was nervous with her flying alone for the for the first time but she did real good. Her Dad bought her a cell phone (Paige is extremely jealous) & put her on his plan so she was very excited about that & her DS. She got sick later that night & was sick most of the day on Saturday as well so she will have to wait for her birthday with us until I get out of the hospital.
I got my package from Aunt Lynn with my Alpaca Hat on Saturday. I tried it on & not only does it fit but it is so soft & warm. I showed it to Marc & he joked that he wanted a Black one for riding so Aunt Lynn spoke to the lady that made mine & she is making him one, how cool is that!
Yesterday we had a great visit with my Aunt Debe & my cousin Amber, they drove up from Lima & stayed all day. Amber got a very full dose of Zack Attack & is well on her way to being a Wii Fishing Master. Debe & I got to talk a lot it was a very nice & relaxing day.
If it isn't one thing it is another. My ANC Counts went down on Friday even lower than what they were & they have not come back up since. I am still out of the Neupogen shots so we have been being very careful. I knew I was being admitted Sunday & I would not see my Dr. until then to get a new prescription. So First thing this morning I called the James to make sure they had a room for me & they told me I was not scheduled until the 7th. I got real upset about this & so did Marc because no one called us & told us of the changes (again, this happened the last time). Marc made me page my Dr. & have her fix it. After talking to her she called in & was able to get me in today, I guess a nurse was supposed to call me & tell me that I was not going to get the 4th but she never did. So my next issue is that hopefully they can get me on the 10th floor & start my Chemo tonight but we will have to wait & see.
On a side note Marc got the bedroom all painted & has started in on the bathroom. I can't believe how fast he got it done & it looks great. I suspect he will have the guys come over & help him move the furniture this week while I am in the hospital.
I am sure there are some things I missed but that is the quick down & dirty of what has been going on this past week. I hope to get all the pictures uploaded this week while I am in the hospital.
It's Time to Roll up your sleeves
For those of you that will be in the Lima area on January 8th from 8:00-2:30 there will be a Blood Drive dedicated to me at the Allen County Department of Job & Family Services 1501 S. Dixie Hwy.Lima, OH 45804 (in the old Westinghouse building). I believe this will be open to the public (walk-ins welcome), however if anyone knows ahead of time they want to participate please call Tracy Hollar @ 419-999-0297 for possible scheduling. My Aunt Debe has been working real hard with her employer & they have made great strides in making this a very coordinated effort with multiple agencies involved. Unfortunately I will be in the James at the time of the Blood Drive undergoing my 4th & hopefully final round of hospitalized Chemotherapy but I will definitely be there in spirit!
Benefit Scheduled
Many of you who know me may remember I used to be on the Board & the Treasurer for the London Assembly #208 Rainbow Girls when Katie & Paige were in Rainbow. I was contacted by Mom Wendy Hall, Mother Advisor from The London Assembly #208 Rainbow Girls & they are holding a Spaghetti Dinner Benefit for me on January 24th from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm at the Chandler Lodge located at 65 North Main Street, London Ohio. The Menu will be Spaghetti, sauce with meatballs, bread & butter, salad with dressing & a drink for $5.00. Desserts will be available for a donation & you can dine in or carryout is available. If you would like any information please contact Keith Hall @ 614-302-0431or airforcekeith@sbcglobal.net

Hi Sandi,
Glad the hat made it & it fits & that you like it! The hat will definitely keep your head warm & Marc's should do the trick for riding also, I will send his as soon as it gets done. I was glad that Debe & Amber got to come spend the day with you guys, I was jealous I wanted to be there too, but I was in spirit. And, you would think that a hospital dealing with the kind of patients that they do would have their shit together a little better than they do but thank god you called ahead to check so you're not sitting there waiting on a room to come available or driving to and from for nothing. Glad to read katie made it home from her dad's ok with do delays. Well, I hope your Dr gets everything straightened out so you can get in & get this round of treatment started. And, I'm sure Marc & your guys friends will have the room ready for you when you come back from the hospital, it will be so much better for you than running up & down those stairs. Stay strong & We'll talk soon. I love you.
Aunt Lynn
