Today was one of those long transfusion days - platelets and red blood cells. Overall, Jo was at Swedish for 7 hours. On the bright side, they do have nice, big, cushy chairs that recline, cable television, free lunches and really nice nurses. At the infusion center, Anna's picture is posted on the bulletin board and all the nurses call her the Million Dollar Baby. Many of these nurses have been seeing Jo regularly since last November.
Now we wait. A week from tomorrow, Jo is scheduled for her "directed" bone marrow biopsy to try to explain her MRI results and to see if there has been any change in her bone marrow since the last biopsy.
Anna has been working on Cha-Cha, Salsa and Cuban Motion in her daily dance lessons. When I looked in her diaper this evening and saw what I thought was guacamole, I thought that she had maybe made a trip south of the border for some cooking lessons too. Ay Caramba!

Hey Tim
Don't get too attached to those free lunches, they probably won't let you have one as soon as Jo doesn't need to go any more. We think about you guys all the time.

PS Don't try the guacamole, it's probably already gone bad!
Hi Jo,
Just catching up with news – what a gorgeous little girl (another Miss Texas!!)- sorry to hear you are going through such a rough time. Our first meeting was one of the best days of my life; you gave me dance & something positive to focus on whilst I battled cancer – Les & I now send you our positive thoughts and prayers for your speedy recovery. Good luck with the bone marrow biopsy on 16 Nov. we will be thinking of you.
Tim – thanks for the info and pics; guacamole is no problem - wait for the curry and bad eggs!!!

Anna-
When you grow up and go through campfire girls or the like; you can pass on this ancient Sioux prayer that comes to bind when we think of your mom and dad.
O our Father, the Sky, hear us
and make us strong.
O our Mother the Earth, hear us
and give us support.
O Spirit of the East,
send us your Wisdom.
O Spirit of the South,
may we tread your path of life.
O Spirit of the West,
may we always be ready for the long journey.
O Spirit of the North, purify us
with your cleansing winds.
Tim & Jo our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you on your journey.
Jim & Kimberly
Hi Jo -
Missed you at the Sundance in Ft Collins yesterday - we wanted to just "Bottle This Up" and send all the good wishes being sent your way from Colorado (and Wyoming!) line dancers. We are confident you will be able to "Let Your Little Light Shine" on the dance floor very SOON!
:)
