For those of you who do not know; I have been posting on caringbridge.org. Since K has been diagnosed with ALL it is easier for everyone to keep up on that site. He is doing very well. We find out next week if he is in complete remission. We should be starting phase 2 of chemo on Monday if his ANC counts are up to 1,000. When we went to the doctor on Monday his ANC was down to 444. We just keep praying and knowing that God is doing a work in him.Please visit our caring bridge site and leave us comments. I really enjoy reading the notes, and it encourages me. Also please pray for Allie, Ryan, and Caroline. They are all fighting for their lives. I know God has His hand on them just the same as K.
Started homeschool with C on Monday. So far so good. He has been very excited to do his work this year. I changed curriculum at the last minute to be able to adjust to going to the hospital with K. I think he likes this curriculum better than the one I had lined out. I had bought this one at the end of last school year and then changed my mind mid summer and went with BFIAR. God does ALL things for a purpose. He is doing Queens for LA, Math U See for Math, Considering Gods Creation for Science, Finding the Land for Social Studies, Pianimals Book A for Music, and Frogs in Pharaohs Bed for Bible.
V and D started school last Friday and are doing great. D is playing his first season of football and is really enjoying it. V is doing basketball and track this year but not football.
B started her 1st day of college on Monday. She hasn't really done much but getting her class outlines. She is staying very busy with work, school, drums on Sunday, and leading the youth group on Thursday nights. She is becoming an adult, and I am proud of her but not ready at the same time. I do not know if a mother ever gets ready for her babies to grow up and move out.
M (hubby) got a job in Indiana, so he is only 4 1/2 hours from home and he is off on the weekends. So, we will have daddy home on the weekends. Thank you Lord for answering our prayers of bringing him work closer to home. It is a HUGE blessing even more so now with K having to go back and forth to the hospital. He is running the job and it suppose to last til around Thanksgiving.
Overall we are doing great and we are VERY BLESSED. Our church family has step up and been a huge help to our family through this time. They are cooking, babysitting, counseling, shopping, and anything else needed. We may not have our blood family near by, but our church family is right here and we love them. Thank you to each and everyone who has physical helped and for all the prayers. K has prayers going up all over the world and it is such a blessing. Everyone please keep in touch. If I do not answer the phone just leave a message and I will call you back. Love you all and God bless.
