Company Coming

We are so excited to see our youngest daughter, Molly, and our grandchildren, Stella and Sully. They will be arriving tomorrow - that will really lift our spirits! Dave keeps gaining weight and has gained 6 lbs. since our arrival, which is great. He's settling in and has relaxed. His blood counts are continuing to rise (good sign)and he is feeling pretty good. Had a little excitement today when the fire alarm went off in the hotel. Dave enjoyed talking to the firemen and checking out their equipment! Someone had been smoking near a smoke alarm (it's a non-smoking hotel)and set it off. I believe it's a $500 fine! Tomorrow more lab and we have an appointment to see the transplant doctor. We will get a new schedule for the week, which is going to be full of staging tests. Should be another full week.

    Hi Dave and Jennifer,

    This is great - glad you are doing it. Talked to your brother at the benefit Dave - he was worried he'd have to give you some stem cells - glad you came thru!!!

    The benefit was a great show of support - wish you could have been there. Bruce Suenram drove over from Helena - and back that night. That's pretty darn nice.

    Keep up the good fight!!!

    Holler if you need anything.

    Doug

    Hi Dave and Jennifer, I think the Fire Alarm was "just a test, to see your response time" (a good fireman is always prepared). This site is great, thanks for the email. Keep that blood count up! Your looking great!!

    Hi David and Jennifer,
    I was happy to hear that Molly and the kids are there with you. I was kind of worried that if you got stem cells from Richard that you would go gomer on us(just kidding Rich). Anyway, Maureen and I are looking forward to seeing both of you next month.
    We love and miss you
    Craig, Maureen, and the boys
