July 6, 2006

Samantha finished her chemo on Sunday night and was glad to get it over with. We had a nice 4th of July. She got to spend some time playing in the pool with some friends during the day and went to watch the fireworks with some other friends in the evening. She has been very tired and has been napping everyday but has been able to get to PT & OT two times this week and has been excercising in the pool as much as possible.
We had labs done today and suprisingly to us her platelets have already dropped, she is having her first transfussion this evening. Kurt gave today so she will have them ready for her if she needs another round on Monday. We are still battling the morning sickness but will be trying another combo of meds tonight in hopes to stop that for her.
We are scheduled to return to Memphis on August 7th but are thinking we will probably be pushed back a week as we started chemo later than expected. While in Memphis this time she will have an MRI done along with various appts with different docs and clinics. We pray that we will have some positive news to report and of course cant stop hoping for that miracle she so deserves!!! Please continue to pray for that as well. Thank you all once again.
With Love,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, & Samantha
