Sunday night and we are home!
Don: Karen just went to bed. I am so jealous! It has been such a busy day that we didn’t get a chance to post anything yet so I am staying up a few more minutes.
Karen’s count jumped all the way to 1700 today! That is just totally awesome and was unexpected. They were hoping that she might have reaced 1,000 by the time she goes back on Thursday for her visit. She blew that out of the water with the Saturday midnight blood test so when the doctor came to the room at 11:00 Sunday morning he said she could go! Her Dad and I had run an errand. Her Mom called us and we rushed back and threw everything in the car and left before anyone changed their mind. That kept me from getting anything on the site before we left and then when we got home I went to cleaning like a mad man. I washed 3 loads of sheets, blankets, tablecloths and couch covers. We do have a couple of inside cats so I just wanted to do my best to lessen cat hair. We won’t be having any dogs at our home during this visit. We are leaving them at Laura’s (thanks Laura!!).
Jacob and Dylan came over for a couple of hours and then we took them back to their Dad’s when we went to town to get some medicine for Karen. It was really great. They will be staying with us the rest of the week. Karen is very excited. We are so glad to be home even if it is for only a week. We have a long road ahead of us but feel very confident that all is going well and will continue to do so! Karen asks that prayers are for the strength to carry on in the fight. Treatments aren’t pleasant but stopping them is just not an option. Thanks to everyone for the prayers that have gotten her this far.
That is wonderful Don…Glad you both are home…As Dorthy would say
“There’s No Place Like Home, There’s No Place Like Home”…We had an awesome weekend with Little Max…When have a loved one who is in pain and suffering you just don’t realize what effect they can have in your life.
He is doing well thanks to Prayer and the love of family and friends. I believe that is what gets us through the day..and i know you have found that with Karen’s disease..the same will be true. You learn to be thankful for even the littlest improvement or accomplishments. Visit his web page..www.hopeformax.com.
Well again…many prayers and thoughts are going your way…May God Continue his mighty Healing powers for Karen.
Have a wonderful relaxing week. Let me know if I can do anything for you guys. Mary Bus’ Kummer

Karen,we are all so happy here in “O” town that you are home for a much derserved respet with the kids,cats,etc…. I know the feeling of being in a hospital/rehab and missing your own bed so very much. It is so very comforting and refreshing. I know this will give you strength to carry on. We continue to lift you up in the Lord and Praise God for His Love and Grace.I know that He Heals. I am hear to testify. Auntie M
Congrats to you Karen! I missed seeing you on Friday. You were sound asleep when I peeked in, and I didn’t have the heart to wake you. And then today when I came by, you were already gone! Yay for you! I am sure a few days at home in your own bed will do wonders for you! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions before Thursday. I will see you then “on the other side” as we call it (the clinic)!
