The Latest

Mom and Dad, New Year's Eve.

Hello all,

Happy snow days! Mom's appointment with Dr. Rixe this past Wednesday went very well. One of his fellow's who hadn't seen Mom in a while was super impressed with her strength and how well she is doing. So that was nice!

As for next steps, her white blood cell count was a tiny bit low, so rather than start the next course Monday as planned, she will start the following week instead. That will give her a chance to be in the best shape possible for the treatments.

She'll have another MRI before then just so they can see the latest status of the tumor. Judging by how well she has been feeling and how much energy she's had, I would have to wager that the treatments are working. What a blessing! We are enjoying every minute with our sweet Rosie.

Love to all,
jk

How You Can Help

We have been overwhelmed (in a good way!) by the number of people who have offered to help. As one way to respond to this outpouring of support, my aunts and uncles have been kind enough to set up a non-profit account if you wish to contribute financially to the care and treatment of our dear Rosie. (Note: she is insured; the fund would help cover travel expenses, co-pays, and other miscellaneous things that come up.)

The name of the account is "Ten on the Tenth," which is just a suggestion, in case you need a little direction. :) The account is located at River Valley Bank here in Madison. We will have a PayPal link set up very soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, you may send contributions to the bank at 233 East Main Street, Madison, IN 47250. Checks can be made payable to "Ten on the Tenth."
