Future Plans Update

Well, I have progresses to a soft food diet.  If that food goes well, then I should be able to go home.  My stomach has been through a lot and may not feel all the way normal, but at least I am not in pain. We really hope to recognize what I have been eating to cause these problems.

We are trying to get everything ready for the trip back to NYC in August.  This is a longer trip so we are trying to have multiple care givers for me to lessen the impact on our children.  We are still trying to finalize the funding, finish collecting stem cells, and then we can book the tickets.

Having said that, we are looking for anyone that has extra frequent flier miles that they would be willing to donate to help get my sister out to NYC to care for me for the first shift, and for Angela to come out for the third shift.

We know that you all have done so much already and we hate to ask for more help.  We are praying each day for guidance to do the right thing so that I can stay on this earth with my family for as long as Heavenly Father will allow it. 

Thank you for your prayers and love and kindness.  We are better for knowing you and having you a part of our lives.
