This is Rebekah and I. Her husband Chris is battling AML at LDS hospital. They have had a tough past few months. They have 3 little boys and live about an hour from here. He had his Allo trasnplant on my birthday (Oct. 28). Well, he actually had a haplo transplant. He did not have a single match in the registry :( His sister was a half match and they used her. Haplos (half matches) and kind of new and there isn't much out there on long term results. Rebekah and Chris also lived in Laie for a while. He worked at PCC and we know some of the same people from there. Although they were there way after us. They too moved to Utah a few years ago with out knowing why. And we have actually both had visits from Elder Bednar. We love them and pray for them every day.
Yep - those darn flu shots. I took a picture of Abby because I knew she would not cry :) I actually do not believe in flu shots. They seem to always pick the wrong strands and we rarely get the flu any ways. But, with John having NO immune system the Docs really try to enforce that we all get the flu shot (and not the mist because it is a live virus). Jenna and Isaiah totally freaked out, the rest did fine. Glad that is over with (for a year).
A few days ago I got a phone call from the city of Taylorsville. Some one gave them our name as a family that has had a hard year medically and financially. And they wanted to bring us Thanksgiving dinner. It was so so nice and I totally cried. We really are ok and we had dinner all planned. But the city had the donations. On Monday night the city youth council brought us our food. They are all students at Taylorsville High and it was so neat. Here we are with them except the one girl who took the picture. We love our city.
