Amy is still doing well. She was very tired yesterday although she did get out of bed and take a couple of walks down the hall. Yesterday afternoon they gave her some red blood cells and that really seemed to perk her up.  She had a little fever at one point yesterday, but it has since gone away. At one point last night she had a little nausea, but she got some medicine for that and she then slept the rest of the night. She is now sitting up and eating some breakfast. So up to this point, everything is still going well.  She will be getting her last dose of chemo tonight. We are being told that if all things go well and she doesn't get a fever, she may be able to move to the hotel sometime Wednesday.

    How ya'll doing? Great to hear things are picking up. I was expecting to see you soon, but many of my children are out sick and now I believe I have a chest cold so I will kindly keep my germs to myself. Just know I am giving you both a big hug from here in Clifton. On my One Tree Hill show the other day they feature a band called Jack's Mannequin. The lead singer had a form of leukemia, but was able to beat it. They have a great song called Mixed Tape. Get Michael to download it for you. Just thought you could use some positive vibes coming your way. Love you guys lots.

    It was good to see both smiles and laughs out of the two of you last night. Good days will give you more strength and fight. Whenever you need a laugh or just a smile on your face you can think of the story Matthew told you about David(dad) at sheetz.....made you laugh or smile didn't it? Love ya both call when you need another wendys burger I will make sure it gets made the right way.

    Love, Mom dad and Matthew

    It is so good to hear that you both are in good spirits! So it sounds like you had some fun last night. Those fairies Savannah sent must have been traveling with Roberta, Boo and Matthew. ;)It is comforting to know that you both are holding strong. Keep it up! The more fight the better. Love you and everyone in your families.
