The best cure for sore knees is an iced mocha from McDonalds followed by ice cream. No medicine can beat caffeine and sugar.

Nope, my daughter says that it's a double chocolate chip frapuccino..she swears by it!

Give Avis big hugs from all of us and tell her she has lots of support behind the scenes. She's in my prayers all the time.

Well they did put her in a wheel chair. We don't know how long she will have to in it though. It was a vary stessfull day but hopefully tomorrow will be better for Avis. In the next couple days we will have to build a bigger pouch so she can in and out of the house. But I thought I let you all know that they did put her in the wheel chair. I will keep you all up dated on how she is doing.

Evelyn, thank you for updating us on Avis. I think about her and your family all the time. You are all so positive and brave.

Tell Avis hello for me and that I think of her often and wish her well.

Evelyn - how are you doing with all of this?

Well I am kinda here. It is hard to see her in the wheel chair and seeing her so weak. But I got to be strong for her though. I just hopeing nothing else is going to happen. I don't think I can handle any more. I trying not to brake down because she don't need me to do that right now. So I just take it one day at a time and hope it will get better soon. Well I got to give her the chemo pills befor she go's to sleep so I talk to all soon.

evelyn,
hi i am new to this website but i want u to know that i will pray for ur daughter also, no little one should have to go through this.

Well tomorrow we are heading to Littleton Col. for her spinal tap and shots in both legs and chemo. After all that they are doing a MRI on her legs to see what is going on with her knees. So I should know what the resalts of that in a couple days after Friday if I don't find out on Friday. I will be takeing my laptop with me so I will have something to do in the motel room tomorrow night but I will be back in town on Friday night. So it is a quick trip there and back.

I been stress out all week about her and woundering what is going on with her legs and tonight I was talking to my sister and she made me feel smaller then an ant. My niece have the junior arthitice thing and my sister don't think I think about her at all. I do but with everything going on with Avis and woundering what else is going to happen and makeing sure she don't get sick becouse if she dose get a cold or anything right now with her not haveing a way to fight it off the is not good. If she gets a simple cold I could loss her so I am keeping her healthy and happy. So with my sister pulling that tonight is not helping me out at all. I can't tell her to back off becouse she is my older sister. I just don't know what to do sometime when she dose stuff like this. I love my niece but right now I got to think of Avis and to keep her healthy and happy. Am I wrong of thinking that? If you guys can give me some words if I am doing right thing on putting Avis frist right now and everything else second. I don't know if I can take any more stress right now. Well I got to get to bed so I can pack in the morning. Night all.

Evelyn (tink)

Evelyn, not only is it right to put Avis' health and happiness first - but her LIFE depends upon it. Dont listen to anyone - you are doing the right thing by your daughter and getting her well is all that matters right now.


<<hugs>>

Your kids are first no matter what...as you already know. You are doing the right thing by HER. Your sister has her own children and would do the same thing. Don't ever question yourself or let yourself feel guilty for doing what EVERY single one of us would do for our kids. Huge hugs to you, Evelyn...

Urgh! You are doing what's right for Avis. Sometimes we sisters can be such a pain in the pattotty to each other! LOL!

I feel so bad that your little girl is going through all of this. Please know that my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. I hope the doctors are able to find out what is causing that leg pain soon.

You hang in there Evelyn. Your sister has no right to make you feel that way! You are the best mom to Avis, and I am glad you come here for support. You need to do what is right for you. I think your sister was being very cold to say those things! Be true to yourself and family. I almost cried when I read what you wrote. You have enough on your plate as it is without guilt trips from your sister. I am still praying, and look forward to all of the updates!

(((((((((hugs))))))), love and prayers to you and your family!

I 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) what the others have said. You are absolutely doing the right thing. Your sister was being insensitive. You have so much on your plate right now it is perfectly normal to not have others front and formost on your mind. With all the stress and everything it is just human to be forgetful. Seriously. I am sorry you are having to deal with this as well. HUGS and I hope for good news on Friday. Take care of yourself too OK?

There is a reason why putting Avis first is your first and natural instinct, because it is the right thing to do.

Well we got back from Denver about 3:30 this morning. She had a ruf day yesterday. She had to have blood and platelets done. When she got done with the platelets she had a bed reaction to it. She got realy bad rashes and had to be on oxegan becouse she was haveing problems breathing because of the platelets. So yesterday was not a good day for her and me. But today is alot better and we are happy to be home. We have to back on the 17th for her treatment on the 18th. Then after that we don't have to go back for 3 to 4 months. Wel got to run but will let you all know how she is doing through this week.
Evelyn (tink)

Evelyn, Im so sorry Avis had such a rough day. Does it ever seem like you are in a nightmare - and if you could just wake up you would find it isnt real?

I wish there were words to make it all better, but I know there isnt. Just know you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Please come here as often as you can to update us on how Avis is doing.

You are both so brave...

<<hugs>>

Evelyn, I haven't been on much lately, but want you to know that I include Avis and your family in my prayers nightly.

Well Avis is doing really good but I was told on Friday her platlets are still down. I am pose to keep her whare she don't get bumped or nothing all weekend. With her haveing that allergic reactions to the last platlets she had I am worried about this time. I don't how she will do this time. She has to have a CBC done on monday again to how her counts are and mainly check her platlets. If they are still low then she will have to get that again. When I just start thinking everything is turning out good something else happens. This battle is far from over but when everthing is done and over I am going to throw her one hell of a party that she will remeber for the rest of her live. This is one promise I told her that I will keep so she is looking forward to that party in about a year half for now and it will happen too. Oh I forgot to add her hair is starting to grow back and they said this time it will stay. She is so excited about that one :). When I get updated pics of her I will post them and I will make sure Hannah her puppy is in one she you all can her puppy again. But got to run so chat later.
