The Looooooonnnnggg Day

This is Brenda, Bri's Mom

Tuesday began for Bri and Chris at 5:30 am traveling to Emory for doctors appt's, lab, staple removal, blood transfusion and medical records. They left Winship Cancer center at 5:45 pm. A long twelve hour day at the clinic and then they drove to Cherokee, NC to take care of the needed requests for medical assistance from the tribe. Chris and Bri got to NC around 9:30 pm and needless to say they were exhausted. Bri feels better today after getting blood and platelets. She had to get five units with one week! No wonder she was tired.
In addition to the medical needs and doctors appt. in Cherokee other business matters needed to addressing. We are working towards efforts in assembling support from her Wal Mart group. We have so much work ahead and lots of appeal writing in addition to fund raising (we will discuss more later). We do need special prayer for favor!
Today we participated in a teleconference call re: Step One, Bone marrow/stem cell transplant. It was informative and is helping us to prepare for transplant. More will be coming up and again we have lots to do!
Thank goodness for my family. Chris, Joshua and Dallas have been so very helpful and supportive on a daily basis. We could not and cannot do all this without them.
We go back in to the hospital Monday the 10th for a week of treatment and get to be home for Christmas. Brianne and Chris should be back from NC late Friday. They will need a weekend of rest. Take care everyone and thanks again for the prayers.
