Keep'em happy and laughing SP and you guys can get through this. Still praying for your family.

More prayers coming your way. Hang in there.

On our minds
 

From your posts I've turned into a regular on Caring Bridge, Kendall-specific. Thoughts and prayers and Lord, what a girl. Keep on keepin' on.

Dr. Dave.

My wife is home now, she's doing well. Thanks for all the prayers and concerns. Thanks for visiting the site as well. Dr. Dave, great poem!

had some good news today, Kendall had an X-ray Monday, and had an MRI yesterday. The x-ray was to check her spine for curavature as a result of last Novemebers surgery(they had to open up 7 vertebre so she wears a brace to straighten her spine). Her spine is improving, adn considering that shes just went thru one round of Chemo, thats big! The Chemo could cause her back porblems to get worse, so any improvement is great. We also got the results from the MRI, and the tumer has stoped growing, the checmo treatments are doing their job, she starts back on chemo next Wednesday for her second round.

Oh, and got to meet Reel face to face today, good to put a face with a screen name.

Thats good news Spare, We'll keep praying for you all!

:clap:

:sun: Hope things keep looking up, Great report.

just to keep ya'll updated, My wife had here first chemo treatment a week from last Tuesday. It knocked her back prety good. today was probably the first day since her treatemnt that she felt well, luckily she is only going to have to have three more treatments( they are spaced three weeks apart). My daughter had her third chemo treatement of her second cycle. She is handling it pretty good. Its all becoming way too normal for our family to be going to the hospital or doctor. They are getting better, but this is all getting old.

"They are getting better, but this is all getting old."

that's the most important thing, hang in there SP. You got a lot of people praying for your family.

I read it everytime there is a update, you can have it e mailed to you. Thats what I do so I'm up with all the new entries.

Glad to hear she did fine and Mom got some rest.

Very glad to hear things are going well SP. You and your family are still in our prayers. Keep the faith, we're all pulling and praying for you. Stay strong!

just having a depressing week, nothing specific, just haveing a crappy attitude this week

Keep yer chin up Spare! Let the momentum of the positive news keep ya'll moving forward. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers!!

I haven't posted an update lately, between the Make A Wish trip and teh Holidays, weve been pretty busy. Kendall finished her last round of chemo and she had an MRI yesterday. Good News!!!!! The tumer has shrunk some and the fluid surounding the tumer is dissapating. I assume that we will continue with the chemo cycles, I don't know when she starts her next one, but it seems to be working. My wife had her last chemo treatment today, besides being nausous and tired, she's doing ok. The SC Port athority addopted our family this Christmas ( thanks to a freind who wrote the local radio station), they brought the girls a bunch of toys, books and a brand new bicycle for each of them. Its been a real good Christmas Season and our family has had a lot to be thankful for. I'm ready for 2009, and I ready to put a lot of 2008 memories behind me.

god bless you and your family spare.......

Good luck to you and your family, may 2009 bring some peace to you

Still prayin' for your family, Spare. I love reading the good news.

Great News!!! Keep on fightin!!!

Its been a while since I've updated this thread. Since the last time we've all had a lot going on. In case ya'll didn't know the company I worked for closed the SC office, since then I have gone in business for my self([email protected]). My wife has been recovering well( if you didn't know she was diagnosed with breast cancer last September), following a double masectomy and chemo, all test show her to be clear. I have been busier than ever with my new business. We just finished up Kendall's fourth chemo cycle, and got the results from the MRI yesterday, it showed significant reduction in the size of the tumer. This is the biggest news we've had since they found the tumer(and the most positive). Previous scans showed the tumer to be 15 mm X 5 mm, its now at 9mm X 4mm. We really feel like we are getting somewhere now( praise be). Kendall is going to camp "happy days' (along with her sister) in two weeks for week of being a regular 4 year old. In case any of y'all are interested in more info on some great people, doing some great things, check the links below.

Thinking of You
 

Thanks for the update, Spare. I read caringbridge updates all this past year. I think of you more than you might guess. Keep your stick on the ice.
Dave.

Great news Spare!! We'll keep the prayers coming. Prayers must be working. :sun:

Wonderful news! Keep the faith.

Great news for both of them. Prayers for both.

Good news Spare! I'd been to the site a couple of times. Wifey and I have ya'll in our thoughts and prayers !

We just picked up the girls yesterday from "Camp Happy Days" held at Camp Bob Cooper on Lake Moultrie. Camp Happy Days is a one week camp for kids with cancer and their siblings. The girls had a great time, they went tubing, parasailing(yes, my 5 year old went parasailing), canoeing, climbing wall, and more crafts than we have space for hear at the house. Check out the pics my wife just posted on the caring bridge site. And everyone check out "Camp Happy Days" site

well i guess I jinxed myself for mentioning MUSC in the otehr thread, woek up this mornign to Kendall with a high fever and unable to use her left leg, so its off to the hospital for the day. As she is a chemo paitent, anytime a fever gets over 101 you go directly to the hospital. they ran a battery of test and a MRI, they still don't know what wrong, but her feer started breaking about two hours ago. I just got home about 30 min ago, called my wife(she stayed at the hospital withy Kendall, I'm here at the house with Kaylee), she tells me they are moving them to another room since they are testing her for the flu. My wife has been on bed rest since an emergency Hysterectimy three weeks ago, so go figure, the best place for her to rest is at the hospital with Kendall. I'm spending the day tomorrow with them, another weekend shot all to he11. I don't ask much out of life, I just want to go 30 days without someone in my family having to go to the hospital, this crap is getting real old! Oh well, what do you do. I'm personally going to have a tall Crown and ginger, and going to bed

Dave,

I'm so sorry to hear about these many troubles that have come your way, one upon another. I haven't been keeping up with the Caringbridge journal on Kendall lately, but just before you wrote tonight, for some reason I decided to read it and she's been on my heart since then. I will be sure to pray for her and your family tonight and will try to remember to have the folks in our weekly prayer meeting do the same.

Steve

thanks BGA, I needed that
