Hello From Kerrie… August 21st
Hi everyone!!!! Since I don’t know how to post on the blog part yet….I’ll post it here…Jenn has tried to show me I’m sure…but after a few hours up and awake….I’m only good for a nap lol..
I talked to Dr. Jana today…so far everything looks good! She’s talking about starting the transplant in a couple of weeks!!!! Not sure if I’ll get to go home first (origionally we were talking of letting me go home for a week between this round of chemo and the next round for transplant (which I’ve been warned is much harsher than the one I just had) my going home depends on my lab values…right now I’m still getting blood and platelettes on alternating and sometimes the same day. They’ve started me on a medication that will build up my white cells again.,..lol guess the chemo really did it’s job…my body hasn’t started making anything yet…so they’re giving it a jump start…I think i’ve been real lucky…my good days have far outweighed the bad ones so far..and when I am having a bad day…they try to keep me comfortable…I love them for that!
I wanted to thank everyone again for all the love and support!!! I truely think if it weren’t for all the love and prayers, cards and calls (though I can’t talk long…I tire out real easy) but I truely think it’s all the love…that’s given me more good days than bad…and made these last few weeks bareable…as ya’ll know…I’m not exactly known for staying home..staying in..and well watching tv..I’ve done a lot of that lately..and realize I’m not missing much..unfortunatly..reading is kind of hard at the moment…though I look forward to catching up on a lot of reading after this is all over and am home for the winter..
Keep me in your thoughts…that I will get to go home for a week…I want to feel the wind and be outside before it snows (yes I know it’s hard to think about that right now..but after transplant..it will be months before I’m allowed out of the house(other than going to the hospital)…and when I do get the ok..lol it’ll probably be February lol)
I love you..and miss you!!!!
Kerrie

Kerrie,
Joe & I are thinking about you and were praying that everything will go well for you. Just keeping the good thoughts and you will pull through this in no time. We have faith in you and once you are allowed outside the house we want to see you and I know Christy would love to see you as well.
I do have some good news for you though Joe & I are getting married on Sept 22nd and we will finally be a family.
Please take care of yourself ok Kerrie and we love you and miss you. Please keep us posted if not you then Jenn.
Jenn great job on this site this was a great idea doing this so everyone that Kerrie knows can be updated on how Kerrie is doing.

Hey, Lady how are you? Not a day goes by that i don’t think of you. I can say i really miss you and hope that you get better soon. The wedding is comming along and I hope to see you there if it not going to compromise your health that is the most important thing for you. Besides if you can’t make it I will make sure that I send you pictures and wedding favors. Remember on those bad days God has the last word and if you can hear him in your heart he telling you that he going to see you through this. He has brought you this far and he will not leave you. Get well soon.

Hey Kerrie!
I am thinking of you every day but I wanted to let you know that I was especially thinking of you over the weekend as my girls and I were dancing around the house to the oldies on 100.3 I was thinking of how much you liked the music they play on the weekends and remembering how good you can dance! I can picture you now in that black sparkly dress at the Christmas party. Hang in there and be nice to you’re nurses! ha ha Love Kelly K
