Dad

Well, dad went to Goshen this morning and they did the normal vampire draw. They said his white blood cells count was to low that they didn't want to give him chemo. His numbers when he 1st started chemo were 200something, then last week they were 100something, and this week they were 82. They said that if it is below 100, they don't like to give chemo. The chemo usually makes your white blood cells lower, so they didn't want to give it to dad. They will do a, oh, uh-huh.... I TOTALLY forget what it's call now, but another vampire draw to see, oh, I think it's called a cancer count test.
(I guess I should say that I am writing this b/c mom and dad are at the hospital VISITING Bob and Jamie right now. Just wanted to get this out incase you all were wondering how he is and all that other good stuff!)
So they will do that test next week. They said they don't normally do this test until you've had chemo for about 6 weeks. But since his numbers are so low, they want to know what his cancer is doing.
But dad's sugar count has been good, so that's good!
He is feeling good, so that's good!
Like I said they are at the hospital with Bob and Jamie, PLEASE pray for them!!!! They are such awesome friends! They have been there sooooo much for mom and dad! Pray that they can figure out what's going on with Bob!
Will post the normal e-mail that mom sends out whenever she gets it written... That's all I know right now...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
