Attitude is 99 percent of the battle!

Two weeks today Scott has been back at his home away from home. He is right on schedule for the killing of the marrow. He has done really well with the chemo this time mostly tries sleeping thru it with a few helpful meds and having a much better time this go around. All his sibs but one have been tested as Jim and myself have for the HLA matching. It will still be a month or more before the results are in so please don't ask. The closest match will be his siblings so that is where we start. It is so strange what questions people ask or the pathetic looks given our way, you read it in their eyes. There is many answers online as I find my own answers there when doctors can't answer me. We need all your prayers and faith to help Scott get thru this. His mission has been a wonderful support to him and to our family Pres and Sister Wilkey and all the missionaries and ward members that have fasted and prayed for his miracle. It might take eternity to know why this happened but every day there is bits and pieces of why. I think I am getting tired of the term tender mercies as it has been over used the last couple years but I love the word miracles...

Changes again

Ok has been 13 months since my last post ........things have changed quite a bit since then. Gpa Leo passed away March 9 2011, Josh & Chiu-yi moved home a week later, Micah James was born Aug 10th at KMC. Josh spent way to much time at KMC with health issues last summer got out Aug 9 baby came next day so he/she were back to the blue zoo. A much happier reason. He needs a kidney transplant and is on the list. I was his transplant but the last test showed I had my own set of kidney issues.

Scott got his ok to serve a mission, WE got the paper work turned in, he turned 19, killed 2 deer then off to MTC/New Hampshire in early Dec. He packed into 3 months 2 yrs. worth because his leukimia returned and he has flown home and living back at Sacred Heart Medical Center for a month killing off his bone marrow and hoping for a bone marrow transplant in Seattle. I will try and keep up with any new progress with the blog again .........easier than constant phone calls...Expect a miracle is my own personal app!!!
