Mom's New Haircut

Just to let you know, my Mom got a new, short haircut!

Wonderful News!!!

I have been so excited, I forgot to update the blog!!! We received the best news we could of had!!! They were no cancer cells found in Lee's bone marrow!!!!! We are so grateful.

Lee will continue with monthly visits to the clinic to continue monitoring graft versus host disease and to be sure there is no recurrence. We are just so happy, this is truly a miracle for which we have our Father in Heaven to thank. Our staff at the clinic also remarked about the miracle this is especially considering how far spread the cancer was before transplant.

Thank you for all the prayers, we are grateful for this reprieve and pray it will be very long!!!
(still praying for a cure!)

The Long Wait

Here I find myself again, waiting at the clinic, wondering if all we have gone through will be enough to extend Lee's life and change the quality of life for the 4 of us. Lee has been going through 2 days of testing to see if his allogenic stem cell transplant (also known as a bone marrow transplant) has been successful. We will find out the results this afternoon. Three hours till we know. . . . . .

All of this has consumed our lives for 3 years. We have learned allot about what is truly important in life. I will post the news later, pray for us!!!

John McCain Rally

On Thursday, Amelia, Mom, and I went to the John McCain Rally. We did not get any pictures of John McCain, though, because we were sitting on the stands behind him, and were on National Television, so they asked us not to take any pictures. Here is a picture of Amelia and me waiting in line. It was so cold!! Mom was taking the picture. If you look REALLY closely, you MIGHT have been able to see Amelia and me on The National News on Thursday. We did see us holding up a sign that we were given, though. :)

GO JOHN MCCAIN!!

Conference Weekend

This past weekend we had the opportunity to watch General Conference. It was a great experience! We also were grateful that Robert, Chalece, Brielle, Brandon, Janette, Noah, and Isabelle could watch Conference with us. It was really fun!

The first picture is of Chalece, the second is of Robert and Brielle playing piano, the third one is me reading a story to Noah, Isabelle, and Brielle. The fourth picture is Noah, Isabelle, and me after we had just finished playing outside in the rain. The next picture is of Janette and her beautiful pregnant belly. :)

Grandpa and Isabelle were very cute reading stories together! The next picture is of Isabelle and Noah having fun playing in the leaves.

These next two pictures are of me on Rocker Day at the Middle School. Since it's homecoming week, we have different days throughout the week that we can dress up.
