It's a Match!

Mom was able to have chemo yesterday, and today! They gave her iron and potassium this past week. Also, we some really good news we got last week.... Aunt Linda is a match for bone marrow. So hopefully when chemo is done and WORKS we will continue to step 2 ... transplant!

Thanks for all the prayers!

Love,

Manda

So here is the thing. I started recieving this magazine months ago. I figured it was a sample at first. You know, that they thought I was smart and would enjoy reading science magazines. Anyway, I figured eventually it would stop... It hasn't. And now it's been forwarded to my new apartment. So here is my dilemia should I tell them I don't want it and let them stop wasting good resources and money (it has a $6.95 cover price) or keep it and let myself look super smart and keep it on my coffee table even eventually read an artical, maybe learn a thing or two!

Introducing President Barack Obama..

I love her Green Golves and Yellow Outfit, different but nice...!!!

Question is what dog will they get!? I'm with Whoopie, go with the cat! lol

Did anyone love how civil and great it was to see President Obama see off President Bush. I thought that was wonderful. I also thought for the first time in a long time President Bush looked refreshed and happy. I'm just hoping that he will get much needed relief from the last 8 years....

Testing out sending pictures to my blog from my phone. This is Central Park! I loved it thanks to Walt and Char for allowing me to be part of this once in a lifetime trip!

jumping on the bandwagon...so to speak

So, those of you who know me know that I'm a proud republican. I voted for McCain and I'm quite proud of that. That being said above all I'm an American. In being an American it is my duty to stand behind my president and stand up for what my country believes in. I will say I've never been against Obama, but I was not his biggest fan. Anyway, with the inauguration of our president tomorrow I figured now was better than any to stand up and declare how proud I am of our country. I am proud that even if the beliefs were not totally shared, I do appreciate Americans FINALLY fighting for what they believe in. I truly believe that it all starts with us. I believe in our system, I just know that if you expect people to do it for you and quit taking social responsibility this is what you get. A terriable economy and a scape goat ahem... G. Dubbya! So as I was saying, I'm proud I'm proud to be an American and always have, but today as we prepare for this historic moment I am even more proud than before. Not because of our overcoming racial discrimination (even though this still happens and Obama is hopefully just the first in many to help this along) but because for the first time in a long time American's young and old, black and white, republican and democrat... are standing up for the change they wanted. They are deciding they have to change in order for Washington to change. It starts at home, so while everyone of you should be tuning in tomorrow... remember to stop and look around and take it all in. We are a part of history, and more than that we are Americans! Americans who are finally feeling hope again... from within!

God Bless America!

I made this little Obamicon... I found the link of my friend Lauren's blog and thought it would be mighty fun to make one of my own and like she did I put my favorite catch phrase!

Updates!

Ok, so I started this all as a fun way to just let people know what is going on in my life. I have decided to expand on that, and let you all know what is going on daily/weekly with my mom's health update. I know she and I and I'm sure lots others get sick of the "how's your mom?" I figured most of us are internet savvy nowadays and this would be a quick and fun way to get the information out and not have to repeat it 8 times a day.

Today mom was supposed to have her second round of chemo. She, however, couldn't because of her white blood cell count being low. From what I read a normal person is anywhere between 4.5 - 10.5 and two weeks ago mom was 9.0 and now she is .09. Basically, she isn't allowed
to do anything. She can't go to the store, work, friends houses, very few people can stop by... she has to stay healthy and we try chemo again next week.

As for me, I'm working night shift while she is doing all of the chemo. I actually like it a lot, but I do miss my fellow co workers on days.... February is projected date to return to days. =)

Oh and that cute Oliver kitty you see... I think he is sick, we go to the vet tomorrow. I'm hoping they fix him all up and we can be all better in the Feezer house hold!
