We are finally home!!!! We arrived back in Vero Beach on Tuesday afternoon and are very happy to be back. We had no sleep Monday night before we left Memphis so we were very tired traveling. Samantha is doing well. She slept in her own bed for the first time last night and did not get up once. She also slept most of the day away yesterday and looks like a new kid today. Yesterday was her last dose of steroids (again) and we are hoping this time it will be for good.
We came home to the house all decorated with streamers, balloons, flowers, and various Easter goodies. The refrigerator and freezer were stocked and dinner was waiting for us when we were ready. Thank you Debra, Jolie, Darlene, & friends. We can't tell you how much we appreciate all you've done. We suprised Christopher at school and of course I broke into tears (happy ones for a change) when his teacher brought him out to me. He and Samantha are so happy to be back together again. The Visiting Nurses will be here today to do labs for Samantha. They will be coming once a week or more as needed. Hopefully those counts are looking good and she can get out a little more.
Although we are happy to be home we left some terrific people back in Memphis. Our friends Catherine & Jason (have 4 yr old Colby, with a brain stem tumor) are just such wonderful people and we miss them. The good news is they live right in Boca Raton so we can stay in touch and visit with each other. Colby has about two more weeks of radiation and they will return back home. Another couple we became real friendly with was Matoka & Bill (6 yr old Kerianne, had a tumor that was removed) are from North Carolina. Kerianne has just a week or two of radiation to go also. She has to return in a month and stay 4-6 months in Memphis for Chemotherapy. We hope to see them again too! Samantha and Kerianne really loved to play together. Please keep Colby & Kerianne in your prayers as well.
We will be returning to Memphis on May 3. Samantha will have her MRI on May 4th and we will return (hopefully with really good news) on the 5th. Please continue to pray that Radiation has helped or a miracle has happened for her. We will keep you posted on our progress here in VERO BEACH!!!
Love to all.
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, & Samantha
