Hi everyone,
Well I have week 1 under my belt or should I say tourniquet and I must admit that being on the other side of the health care fence is certainly different. I am actually excited to be having a picc line placed due to so many IV pokes, of which some that were not so successful, the options are getting slimmer, even Count Dracula would suffer getting blood from me. I've had lots of tests to check out my heart MRI's , Angiograms, Stress Tests and I think at the moment there all checking out ok. We met with Dr Burt this week who assured me that the stem cell transplant would go ahead. Phew!! Definitely one less thing for us to worry about or should I say Craig to worry about.
This weekend will be pleasant as we have no hospital trips and my arms and hands can heal. What else has happened? Well I lost my phone and subsequently acquired it from the lost and found, here I was thinking yes there are still honest people in this world, alas when I switched my phone on they had taken the sim card out. I can hear my sister laughing at this, as my phone obviously was not worth keeping. If you need to get hold of us you can contact us through Craig's cell or our home phone.
Chicago has been kind so far to us as the weather hasn`t been too bad we have managed to be able to get around without frost bite and have even taken some strolls along the lake. The change of pace to our normal lives in Phoenix is becoming less of a struggle even Craig's found time to read a book. Need to get him to sit down longer with his visits to Starbucks and we will be well away.
The boys back home are doing fine, Mom is doing a grand job! We get to talk everyday via web cam so we can continue to nag them on hygiene and homework needs. We are missing them greatly but know that we get to see them in November for a short break before returning, which we are looking forward to. My Mom gets to go trick & treating with the boys which is a first for her she's threatening to go out in a witches hat and no teeth!! Craig says she dosn`t need a costume look out neighborhood!! Love Ya mom!!
Well better go we need to find a local Best Buy to get my high tech phone sorted.
Love to all. Sharon and Craig

Hi Sharon! I am too very sorry that we didn't get to meet in Chicago. I didn't get your message until I was on my way to the airport on Thursday morning.
I am so thrilled for you! You have no idea how bad I felt when you left chicago after having chemo. You will get better now and believe me it is such a miracle! I'm rooting for you. Please keep up with your blog so I can follow your progress.
Much love to you and Craig,
Victoria

Craig and sharon, how are you? It's kind of exciting what you are going through but a little stressful. I also lost my phone but I found it like you. hehehe...I also lost my camera. oops.
I know you can make it like me, from the help of Craig, mom and your boys and Jesus. I'll pray for you. Call me sometimes. Love, Lisa (typed by my mom)
