May 24

HELLLLLLOOOOOO! Sorry again for not posting lately! I haven't been on the computer much except for proofing. Things are going good here. Tumor markers are now down to 70.1! -----insert applause here------LOL! We still have no set date for the SCT (stem cell transplant) yet. I have been talking with the Nurses this week. They are in the process of getting things together. I will keep you all posted.
I can't believe school is out for the summer! Last September when I was diagnosed with cancer I wished the year would go fast as to get my through treatment. It sure has too. Now, I wish it would all slow down a bit! Today was a bittersweet day for me. It was my last day doing daycare. After 6 years of having great kids (and parents) coming to my house everyday it will feel strange and quiet around here. I planned a year ago to possibly quit in May of 2007 and do photography full time. I am just about booked now for the sessions I will be taking for the summer. I have had some real sweet sessions lately, but unfortunately don't have model releases to share, so I haven't been able to post them. I am needing to spend some time updating my photography website (www.photographybykasey.com). It has been about 1 1/2 years. I need to add more current photos. That just takes time, which was hard to find while doing daycare.
We are finally getting our downstairs bathroom redone. The tile in the shower is looking awesome. I love it. Now, I want to redo the upstairs like it! Those kind of projects just never end, do they?
Just a little note to also let you all know that little Daric is home and doing good! He did have to go to OKC after getting home from Alabama to have some fluid removed from his lung, but is doing good now. (I hope you don't mind me posting this MonaGayle, I just know many people were praying for him)
If I don't post much in the next week or so, I will just be busy! Swim practice starts next Tuesday and next Wednesday is Larson's first t-ball game. I am also hoping to have a garage sale soon, if I could just get in gear to get everything organized for it. I may work on that this weekend if it doesn't rain. Awwww, the list of things to do just keeps getting bigger and bigger (and I still haven't planted my new bushes out front yet!).
Until next time,
~Kasey

PS--I am not going to go back and check for typos and grammer so if it bothers you, just close your eyes LOLOLOL!

ROCK ON!

That's what my oncologist had to say to me today! Rock on!!!

Everything is looking great! There has been visible improvement in the bones and all organs are still clear! WHOOHOOO! Tumor markers are down to 78.2 now. Bloodwork has been fine. I don't have to see her until August. We had our meeting with the transplant team, but they thought I was through with chemo and were wanting me to start the process of the transplant now. They are only taking one person at a time for this clinical trial. However, I won't be through with chemo until the middle of July, so they will be starting another person now and I will be next in line, so we are still looking at August/September, which is what we were figuring. The clinical trial is in phase 2 right now. I will be getting the reports from phase 1 to check it out. I am guessing they have had a good response or it would not have made it to phase 2. There is a percentage of women who do real well with the transplant and are essentially "cured" (although with cancer that term is used pretty lightly as you all know, there is no CURE) and I am fitting in with that profile pretty good so far with my excellent response to chemo.
So, we have had a great visit here! We are still in Houston (I have chemo here in about 15 minutes!) and should be back some time tomorrow. Our flight out is at 11:30 am. I think we may stay in Tulsa for a bit and get some Mother's Day shopping (sorry Mom, your gift will be a tad late--but, ya know I love ya!) and some Birthday shopping for Raisa done. I can't believe my baby will be 11!! Time sure flies.
Need to head out, but couldn't wait to share the good news!

Forrest Gump Dies....

The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed and Forrest approaches the Gatekeeper. St. Peter says, "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We've heard a lot about you. I must tell you though, that the place is filling up fast, and so we've been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven"
Forrest responds, "It shor is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever tolt me about any entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter goes on, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T? Second: How many seconds are there in a year? Third: What is God's first name?"
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter who waves him up and says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."
Forrest says, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begin with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one's easy. That'd be Today and Tomorrow.
The Saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, "Forrest, that's not quite what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I didn't specify, so I'll give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" asks St. Peter?
"How many seconds in a year?"
"Now that one's harder," says Forrest, "but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter says, "Twelve? Twelve!? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forrest says "Shucks, there's gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd ...... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you're going with this, and I see your point, though again that wasn't quite what I had in mind. But I'll have to give you credit for that one too. Let's go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?
"Sure" Forrest replied, "its Andy."
"Andy?!" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. "OK, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song. "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN. . . "
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and said: "Run Forrest, run."

Off to Houston

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are leaving for Houston again on Wednesday afternoon. I have scans all day Thursday and we are meeting with my transplant Doctor and Oncologist Friday. I have had several people asking me about the stem cell transplant. It is called an "autologous stem cell transplant ". It is basically the same as a bone marrow transplant, except they will be taking my stem cells from the blood instead of the marrow. I will be on medication several days prior to the "harvesting or rescuing" of my stem cells that will push the stem cells out of the marrow into the bloodstream. Then, they will collect them, smack me with an extremely high dose of chemo that will kill all the cells and marrow in me. Then, they will "transplant" my own stem cells back into me. Then I wait in the hospital while my body recouperates and starts to rebuilt the red and white blood cells. I vaguely remember them also talking about whole body radiation also, right before or after the chemo. We will find out more this week. I hope that darn weather cooperates and we get to leave on time. I think our flight is at 7:30 tomorrow evening or somewhere around that. We will be home Saturday. I want to send out a special prayer to my little friend, Daric Voss, who is 4, and just had open heart surgery yesterday in Alabama. May God look after him and comfort him and his parents (you and your family are so special MonaGayle--I just love you all!!). Take care and I will post again this weekend or before with our scan results and any new info!

Insurance Approval!

Our insurance company has FINALLY approved the stem cell transpant! We received final approval yesterday. They declined it first go around, but we, along with M.D. Anderson and Acme/Magic Circle appealed it and won! They are wanting me to meet back with my transplant Doctor (Dr. Ueno--pronounced Way-no) along with my Oncologist, Dr. Green next week in Houston. I will have to have the pre transplant tests done again (heart and lung tests). I passed these with flying colors a few months ago. Hopefully, they will be able to schedule them all next week when we are back in Houston. I love M.D. Anderson. I love how they handle everything for you. We will also start our search for an apartment to rent the 2 months we are down there. Hopefully, that won't be too hard! I have still been feeling good, just real tired. I am glad the weather has finally warmed up though! I have a bunch of new plants to get planted outside, if it would just stop raining now hahaha!
You all take care and Happy May Day!

Life with Larson

I should seriously start this kid his own website! Life with Larson is very interesting! I could go on and on about all the strange things he thinks of and says! Tell him to get dressed and WELL, just see the above photo! LOL! Ask him his favorite Chinese restaurant--Honk Honk Delight of course! A few nights ago we were discussing Baptism and he wanted to know who his Fairy Godmother was! He is so into Star Wars right now you never know when Yoda or Obi One Kanobi will be running through the house. Yes, life with Larson is interesting!

Double Digits!!

My tumor markers are still in double digits! They dropped from 96 down to 85 this week. I still have to get them down to 35, but they are headed there!! 5 of 12 Abraxane treatments down. I will be headed back to MDA in a few weeks. I will be having some genetic testing done to see if I carry the breast cancer gene---BRCA1 and BRCA2. I don't think, for me, it will matter now. I just need to know because I do have a daughter and if I carry the gene, she may also. I thought breast cancer was more heriditary then it is. Only 15% of breast cancers are heridtary. 85% of women just get it. Only 10% of breast cancers are lobular carcinomas like what I have. They tend to be more aggressive and diagnosed at a later stage due to the fact that this cancer grows in "sheets" or "layers" and will present more as a thickening of tissue than an actual lump. That is why they are hard to pick up on mammograms. Like I have stated earlier, I had 2 mammograms in 2005 that did not pick this up. That, coupled with my younger age to get breast cancer, I have been in alot of the minority so far.

You all have a great weekend! Don't forget about the Holy Name School carnival tonight!!

So Sorry!

I am real sorry I haven't posted too much lately! It has just been so busy! I have been feeling alright, just real tired, yet not sleeping well at night, from this new chemo. Last week was my week off, so today started a new 3 week on period. Then I will have another week off, then the next week we will head back to Houston for new scans. I will have my tumor markers drawn next week, so we can see how much more they have dropped!
What I have I been busy doing? Well, this week, I photographed 85 kids, 1 mayor, 1 baby and will finish up with 20 First Communicants! Whew! I still managed to make it to one of my Yoga classes, have chemo, go to bible study and only take one day off of daycare! See, not much time left to post on the blog lol!
I don't know about all of you, but I am ready for this cold weather to move on! I want some warm sunshine. I am ready to take the daycare kids outside more. I think they are all getting a bit of cabin fever. Larson is looking foreward to playing teeball this year. He is quite a ball player if I may say so! He is also great at golf, basketball and soccer. He has made it out to the Country Club a couple of times with Kevin to golf. He will play all 18 holes and be ready for more! Raisa is gearing up for swimming. I am going to enroll her in the fitness club through CRC so she can use the high school pool in the evening to start getting back in shape. I usually do it with her, but will have to pass on it this year. Swim practices will start at the end of May. Larson will be doing swim lessons this year through the red cross. He is excited about that.
You all take care and pray for some warmer weather! I am so done with winter!

Happy Easter!

May Easter bring you a happy heart,

and may your spirit rejoice in the risen Lord!

Have a Blessed Easter!

Chemo at CRMC

Ok, I know there are several employees of CRMC waiting for this post! HAHA! How did it go??? Truth be told, it went alright! It's no MD Anderson, as in, no private rooms with your own tv, no personal waiter to order you some food and NO WARM BLANKETS! How spoiled am I! LOL! They did bring me a blanket though and offered me a drink (Soda or juice, not the kind I really needed haha!). I had to wait for about an hour for the pharmacy to get the chemo, but once we had the chemo, the infusion went pretty fast. It is only about a 30 minute infusion, but I also had my Zometa (a bone strengthener) which takes about 15 minutes. We went in at 8:30 and were out at 11:00. Not too bad. I think my body is finally starting to wear down a bit from all the chemo. I have been pretty tired most of the weekend. We stayed home Friday night and just rented a movie, The Holiday. Cute show. Saturday we had to run to Bartlesville, but I didn't do much else. Kevin took Larson to the races in Humbolt that evening. I think they will both be glad when Mid America opens back up! Today they are watching the Nascar race with those "Cars of tomorrow" or whatever. I am real into it, can ya tell! I think I will go take another nap! I did go visit my friend, Terri this past week. She was still at St. John's in Tulsa. I don't want to post too much about her situation, but just pray for her healing. She is going to MD Anderson on Tuesday and will be under great care there. Thank you!

You all have a great week!

I FORGOT TO ADD MY TUMOR MARKERS TOOK ANOTHER DROP THIS PAST WEEK! I AM DOWN TO 96!!!!!

Scan Results

Well, all the tests were worth it!!!!

I have had an additional 56% decrease in my tumor markers since January!!! I started out with them at 711.1 this past October (35 is normal) and by November they were down to 516.2, in December they were down to 389.3 and in January they were down to 250.9. Right now, they are down to 106.9!!!! On the way to remission. I am beyond ecstatic! It has been amazing watching those numbers drop!

Now, onto all the scan results! All looked good, nothing new and the cancer in the bone is all healing! Hopefully by this summer I will be NED (No Existing Disease). We are headed there now!

I started a new chemo yesterday. Instead of Taxol, we went with Abraxane (it is still a taxane like Taxol). I will be on it for 3 weeks on, 1 week off, so every 4th week I will have a break. I will still have 12 infusions of this. So far, so fine on this! My counts were down quite a bit, but they were still able to start this chemo yesterday. I did have a slight problem with my blood pressure. Not sure what was up with that, but it kept dropping. It went down to 84/54, so they had to monitor that all through chemo. But, they just made sure I felt ok and was able to leave afterwards, thank God! We had a flight home booked for that evening and I would not have wanted to have to miss it. So, were home now and I am feeling good! We are heading to Lowe's tonight to check out some tile as we are getting ready to redo the downstairs bathroom. I would love to put up travertine in that bathroom, but we'll see what they have.

You all have a great week and I am so GLAD to be able to share all my wonderful scan results with all of you! Your emails really keep me going! THANK YOU!

~Kasey

Scan Week

Well, I can't believe it has been almost 3 weeks already!!! We head back to Houston Wednesday to get ready for a FULL day of scans on Thursday starting at 7:30am. We have CT scans, xrays, MRI's, Bone Scan and an ultrasound scheduled. Then, we start the first dose of a chemo called Taxol on Friday. I will have 12 weekly infusions of this. I have it set up to do them here in Coffeyville after the first one at MDA. I won't have to go back to Houston for 6 weeks, so we will have a little break. We will know by the end of May when we will be having the stem cell transplant. I have still been feeling great!

On another note, I would like to send out some prayers and ask all of you to pray for my friend, Terri. I had talked with her on the phone last Tuesday for about an hour about how unpredictable life is and stuff like that. She was telling me how she lit a candle at church for me and prays for me all the time! Then, Friday, I got word that out of the blue Thursday she had a seizure. They took her to CRMC, then transported her to St. John's where they have found a golfball size tumor on her brain. She is going in for surgery to have it removed on Tuesday. They won't know if it is malignant or benign until then. PRAY FOR HER and her family! She is right around my age and has a 10 year old son. Thinking and praying for you Terri!

Back from Houston

Well, we're back from Houston! We got into Houston late Wednesday night and had several tests early Wednesday morning. I had an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), spirometry and DLCO (lung tests). Passed all with flying colors. Chemo went fine! I was glad to see the last drops of that red devil go in! Felt a little nauseous during chemo. Not sure why. I think I was just thinking too hard about how nasty chemo is! I have tried not to think about how toxic it is, just thrilled with how it is working! I felt fine as soon as chemo was over though, just a little shaky in the legs. My blood counts were the lowest they have been so far. Last time I was borderline in getting my chemo (Neutrophil count at 1500) and this time it was actually way to low (1200), but she decided to overwrite it so I could get this last FAC since I am in such good shape at this point during chemo, very healthy and doing so well. We go back in 3 weeks to be rescanned and have my first dose of Taxol. Taxol is better tolorated than FAC, so I am assuming I will fly through it also. We will know in May when we will be doing the stem cell transplant. I was hoping for August/Sept but it may be as soon as July/August. I just hate the thought of missing swim meets, tee ball games and Children's Summer Theater. So, here is hoping we can do it starting in August!! That's all the info from this trip!

Sunday, February 18

Hello! I hope everyone had a great week last week and a great Valentine's day! I haven't had much to post lately, which I suppose is good! Just busy living life! I posted a couple of photos from sessions I did last week on my photo blog: http://photographybykasey.blogspot.com/
Feel free to check them out!

We are headed back to Houston Wednesday evening. I have several tests scheduled for Thursday to prepare for the stem cell transplant. The need to run tests on my heart and lungs I guess to make sure they are healthy and strong enough to endure a transplant. I also have my last FAC chemo Friday! That is the chemo with the "Red Devil" in it. I thank the Lord everyday for how easy I have went through it! Most days, I forget I am even on chemo! I have had no side effects at all, except for being a little tired the day after chemo. Three weeks after the last FAC chemo I will begin a chemo called "Taxol". I will have 12 weekly infusions of this. The first infusion will be done at MD Anderson as I will be there all week that week for scans anyway. After that, I will have them done here at CRMC. Yep, I am a little scared and hesitant about that! I am glad I will be having the first one at MDA so I will know how it should go. You can bet I will be running the show here! I will know EXACTLY what they should and should not be doing. If anything doesn't seem right, they can kiss my a**! I will just have to have them done at MDA. But, I will give them a try.

I was going to post some photos of Raisa and Kevin leaving for the Daddy/Daughter ball, but I haven't downloaded them yet. They both looked so nice! My Dad is doing MUCH better! Thanks for all the prayers! I have been spending some time reading the pslams this past week and have found Psalms 91 quite inspiring! "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust!"-
-psalm 91

I probably won't post again until next weekend. No news is good news though! I will just be busy!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!

More good news!!!!!

We got more good news from our Oncologist yesterday! After meeting with the transplant Doctor (Dr. Ueno----pronounced Way-No) he wanted to have my mri and cat scans that were inconclusive from 3 weeks ago reread. They had the best of the best Radiologist there look at them and compare and he said it is all activity from HEALING! YAAA! My oncologist has never seen a case of mixed resposne with chemo like this, where tumor markers are going down and tumor is decreasing (BY 94%!) but other areas showing no improvement. Now we know WHY! It's all just healing, but still showing up (or flaring) on mri and ct scans. I am so relieved!
I will have my last FAC chemo on February 24, then we will be reacanned on March 16 and I will start my first infusion fo Taxol (a taxane). I will have Taxol weekly for 12 weeks. I am going to check into having those done here (as scared as I am about that!). I just don't want to make weekly trips to Houston. To much for me!
I am expected to fly through the Taxol also, since my Dr. called me the "poster child for chemo!" I am glad I was able to tolorate it so well! I think it was because I KNEW I would!!! The mind is truly a powerful thing! That reminds me! A friend of mine (thanks Carrie!!) lent me a dvd called "The Secret". Very good show! It basically teaches you mind over matter---quantom physics. I have alway been a been a very driven person and ususlly get what I want. Now I understand why. Have that faith and belief that what you want, you can have!
Take care!!

Thursday, February 1

Hi! Sorry I didn't update yesterday! We met with the transplant Doctor and it looks like I will be a good candidate for a transplant!! I have had an excellent response to chemo. What it looks like we will do is a Stem Cell transplant using my own stem cells. The procedure is the same as a bone marrow transpant, but recovery is a little shorter. We will only have to stay in Houston for 2 months instead of 3. They will give me a drug to increase my stem cells, then "harvest" them. I will be hooked up to the machine for about 3-4 hours a day for 3-4 days. Then they wil give me the maximum amount of chemo they can over the next few days. Then, I will stay in the hospital for about 2 more weeks, for a total of 3-4 weeks actually in the hospital. Then they will release me, but I have to stay within 15 miles of the hospital for the next month.
We will do the transplant after I finish all my chemo and have surgery to remove as much of the cancer they can. They will also replace my port with another type (central line or something?). We meet with my Onconlogist tomorrow and will find out how long we are going to do chemo.
Today, we had a day of R&R and rented a car and drove down to Galveston. We love the ocean! We ate at Joe's Crab Shack for lunch and I pigged out on Calamari. YMMMMM! We drove around Nasa Space Station on the way back and got a little lost in downtown Houston, but we got the car returned in time!
That's all the new info for now! We have chemo tomorrow at 2:30 and will be home tomorrow night. I heard it snowed again! I have not seen it snow once yet this year HAHA! We have been in Houston every time it snowed!
See ya all soon!

Hello!
Well we are off to Houston again tomorrow evening. We get to meet with a transplant Doctor at 9:00 am Wednesday. His name is Naoto Ueno, M.D., Ph.D. I was reading up on him and here is his description of what he does:

"The primary interest of my laboratory is to dissect molecular events related to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis or cell cycle changes. Further, we translate these molecular events into developing innovative gene therapies, immunotherapy or diagnostic tools for patients with breast or ovarian cancers. Paclitaxel-induced cell death is the event that follows metaphase arrest. Thus, we have investigated the role of mitotic checkpoint in taxane-induced cell death. We have identified CDK1 activity which may allow predicting the tumor response to taxane. So far, we have successfully quantified mitotic checkpoint to develop a novel biomarker to develop paclitaxel sensitivity.

We have also focused on Paclitaxel sensitization of breast and ovarian cancer cells by adenovirus type 5 E1A gene. E1A is a well-known tumor suppressor that can induce apoptosis or downregulate HER-2/neu overexpression in cancer cells. This E1A can effect multiple genes that can allow cells to be more prone to apoptosis when treated with chemotherapeutic agents. We initiated and completed a phase I trial of E1A gene therapy among patients with breast and ovarian cancers. We showed that E1A can be delivered locally (intraperitoneally) to cancer cells by using cationic liposome. Because E1A gene therapy has been limited to locoregional delivery, we introduced a systemic gene delivery system using the cationic liposome LPD. The safety and pharmacokinetics of this cationic liposome are currently being studied, and we plan to open a clinical trial using this delivery system in the near future. Recently, we have initiated phase I/II clinical trials of E1A gene therapy combined with Paclitaxel for patients with ovarian cancer (sponsored by ovarian SPORE). The study design allows collection of samples before and after E1A gene therapy to determine the precise mechanisms of tumor response of E1A combined with paclitaxel."

Ummmmmmmmm. Ok! I think he will be repeating everything he says to me lol! I need to hear it so I can understand. I think I'll be breaking out the big pad of paper for this one!

Ahhhh--It's about tax time! I've been spending time lately getting things in order. I am usually so on top of it during the year, but I guess I slacked this year and am paying for it now haha! I do have all my receipts at least categorized by month, now just to add them all up!

In case you haven't been to my photography blog "www.photographybykasey.blogspot.com"
I have added a couple new photos taken recently. I will add more in February! You should be able to click the link under my photo on the right. The link wasn't working for awhile (someone just pointed it out to me) as I had it coded wrong, but it should be working now!

My Dad is still doing good! Thank you for the prayers for him! Hopefully he will be back online soon posting comments!

That's it for now! Like I said, we are heading to Houston tomorrow evening. We should be home Friday evening as my Chemo is at 2:30, so we should make the 8:00 flight home.
Talk to you all soon!

Sunday, January 21

I am back from Los Angeles! Great news about my Dad! He is doing 100% better! We were able to take him home from the hospital Thursday afternoon. He is breathing great and doesn't even need oxygen. He is a true fighter also! (HI DAD! GLAD YOU'RE BACK UP AND AT 'EM!).
This has been a long, busy couple of weeks! I hate traveling alone. I had an hour and a half layover in Las Vegas going out to L.A and I was just thinking how much Kevin would love to be sitting at those slot machines haha! I got to share the flight from Las Vegas to LAX with the crew from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I also got to go into the hospital where they film Grey's Anatomy while in Los Angeles. Pretty cool! They film it in the VA hospital where my Dad normally goes for his check ups. We went to talk to someone there about options for my Dad and what we should do. Pretty neat being at the hospital then watching the show that night and recognizing it all! I had some delays on my flight back--boarded at LAX, then as we were about to leave, Phoenix pretty much shut down (where I was going through back to Tulsa) because of a storm, so we had to sit on the plane for an hour before we left. Then, when we finally got to Phoenix, they hurried those off who were getting off and borded those getting on pretty quickly, only to get out to the runway and find out we were 25th in line for take off! Blah! Had to sit there for another 45 minutes. But, I am home now and it feels great!
While in L.A. I got a call from Houston and we get to meet with the BMT (Bone Marrow Transplant) Doctors starting January 31. So we will have another 3 day visit to Houston the week after next, then another 3 day visit 3 weeks later (for new scans). I will keep you all posted about that. I think I need to go to bed now! I am sure there are many typos here, but again, I don't feel like going back and correcting them. I am the run-on sentence queen also!! I just keep on typing! LOL. Hope it all makes SOME sense!
Take care and THANK YOU for all the prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Kasey

Heading to L.A.

Well, we made it home Saturday. I spent most of Saturday and today just resting. I am heading out to Los Angeles Tuesday morning. Too many flights were cancelled for today and tomorrow that I didn't want to risk having a cancelled flight. Hopefully all will be well by Tuesday morning! I should be back next Sunday. Please keep my Dad in your prayers!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
