Kendall

[spareparts]

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.

just got back from the hosipital, shes doing better, but her numbers are still down, tehy gave her platelets today, shes got to get her white blood count and hemoglobin counts up before thay will let her go home. So everythings on hold till them. I send entirely too much time in the hospital as a well person.

Spare, we are with you. And no one can ever say we feel your pain we are here for her. Kids are everything. My step daughter just had her second surgery last Wednesday for her McCune Albright Syndrome (very rare), through the top of the head and in the danger zones... first time they had to enlarge the back of her eye socket the bone was growing and squeezing the optic nerve...it sucks and is not right that kids should have to go through this stuff.

Keep positive thoughts thats what pulls me through.
And as I've said before stay busy and do your best to keep'em smiling, it's our job and I personally wouldn't want anyone else to handle it for me.

And I will agree with you, I spend way to much time in hospitals. Haven't called out of work sick in over ten years but I am in a hospital almost every other week.
