I was down in Utah visiting my Mom so Ryan sent me this picture. It's not the best because it was taken with our video camera, but I still think its cute and it made me laugh so I had to post it.

Top Tooth Missing
Alex lost another tooth today and I missed it. Her top tooth has been really loss for a few days now and today she finely pulled it out all by her self.
I was down in Utah visiting my Mom so Ryan sent me this picture. It's not the best because it was taken with our video camera, but I still think its cute and it made me laugh so I had to post it.

Tough Times
I have been bad about posting on Mom’s condition so here are a couple of recent updates.
1/22/2010
Mom has had a tough few days lately, but is hanging in there. She has been dealing with extreme fatigue, mouth sores, migraines and an aching body. She says that everything hurts. Also because of her mouth sores and the bad taste she has in her mouth she was put on a feeding IV.
As much as we all hate to see her feeling this way it's all part of a normal bone marrow transplant. She is in her 8th day and doctors say that she should be starting to feel a little better in the next few days and that hopefully by day 14 she will be feeling even better.
Again we thank everyone for there love, support and prayers and hopefully we will be able to have a better update next time.

Mom’s situation continues to be very challenging, but at the same time there are some positive things to report on. Last night Mom was transferred to the ICU and had a breathing tube put in. She was having a really hard time breathing because some of the medicine that she is on has made her tongue swell up and whenever she tried to take in air her tongue would get in the way. Her mouth and throat sores have really been trouble for her, but now that she is in the ICU she is doing much better and able to rest better as well.
Last night the doctors said that her lungs were working great and that her kidneys were functioning a little better, which is great news. Because all the medicine that bone marrow transplant patients have to be on the kidneys can sometimes get overworked and potentially lead to kidney failure. So to hear that her kidneys are doing a little bit better is really good news.
This morning the doctors said that she rested really well last night and that this morning she seemed to be a little more alert and would even follow people around the room with her eyes - all very good signs. The doctor told us that she will probably stay in the ICU for 2-4 more days to make sure she can continue to breath well and be comfortable.
We will continue to try and post updates as new news comes in, but at the same time try to be patient with us as we may be a few days behind.
Thanks to all.
By the way today is day 15 - let’s hope the worst is behind us now.

6 Years Old…Where Has the Time Gone?
Alex turned 6 last week. It's crazy that our baby girl is already six. What has happened to the past six years? She is so big and such a sweet, happy little girl.
She had a birthday party with six girl friends from school and the neighborhood. It was a lot of fun and she has some great friends that gave her some really fun gifts. All she wanted for the party was to have a Snow White cake and a piñata so after that, thankfully Ryan was home to help me come up with a few other things for the kids to do. All in all it turned out great and she had a lot of fun and loves her new toys.
Things that Alex likes right now:
Color: Red
Food: Corn on the cob and broccoli (how did I get so lucky with her)
Things she likes to do: Play with her Dad
What do you want to be when you grow up: a Mom
Alex has always been the sweetest little girl and she is the best big sister to her two little brothers. She still has more energy then ever and I still wish I could have a fifth of her energy. She loves school, visiting her grandma and playing outside.
We love you so much Ally and I think it's about time you stop growing and just stay 6

Thank you.
"I just wanted to thank everyone that prayed and fasted for my mom this weekend. She will be receiving her last chemo push today and tomorrow she’ll rest in preparation for her bone marrow transplant on Wednesday."
