Amazing Things!

Wow! What an answer to prayer! Chris has had quite a time with his blood counts, and is now not only mask free, but almost back to where he should be!!!! We feel this is truly a gift he's been given from God. The Dr. said last week that the chemo reaction that Chris had was so rare, and that he'd only seen maybe 4 or 5 patients with it. Then he added that he could tell us now that he didn't think his white cells would've come back and that he had truly thought that Chris would've needed a bone marrow. We thank you for the continued prayers!!! We also did not have to go to the hospital all weekend and got to go locally to get his blood counts checked, which was wonderful! Since he is doing so good, he doesn't have to have blood drawn till he goes for a re-ck next week!!!!

Easter was exceptionally special with a beautiful day. Chris enjoyed his nieces and nephews and it was great. We hope yours was too.

Chris, It was great to watch Idol with you again, I needed my Cas fix!

Pending no major disasters we will see you next Tuesday, if you want us. :)

Till then, take care, happy Wii-ing. I really need to get Nick some practice on Mario cart!

I had a great time going through all of the old picture of us when I was making your benifit powerpoint. I'm glad to hear your doing good and I bet it was really nice to see Gram (to bad she was sick)but it got you guys together. Love you and keep strong.
