Guess who????

If you guessed, Shelley...you win!
I guess, I was afraid of the withdrawls that could take place if you didn't hear from me today, so here I am!:)

There were a couple things I was gonna let you know about regarding what will happen this week and next. Brian and Robynn will be making daily trips back to Roseville-Sutter to get blood draws,have her Pic line flushed and and keep an eye on Norm and Neds evil triplet Newman. Her tummy has continued to fill up, but they only like to drain it when it is absolutely necessary. When she went in on Thursday they found another pocket(Newman) that was filling up. Because of its close location to a main artery they left it alone and only drained Norm's old stomping ground. If she cannot maintain her blood levels she will have to get blood transfusions as an outpatient. Her WBC is AWESOME, so no more abnormal worries about her catching something and not being able to fight it.
Sunday is Robynn's birthday as well as Easter so there should be much celebrating going on in her and Our Saviors honor! When the party ends, it's back for round 2 of chemo on Monday.
I think that's all I got on what will be happening with our girl unless she throws us another curve ball,which she seems to do quite often! Hmmm, I wonder if she just likes to keep us on our toes?

On another subject, I just wanted to tell you all how honored I am to be keeping you updated. There have been days when I am so distressed by watching Robynn suffer that I can't find any words for you. I will sit and pray that He will help me find them. He has yet to let me down(well, I can't speak to the eloquence of my words but He gave me something to work with;)
My point is, when I'm having a tough day, all I have to do is read what you send to Robynn and sometimes even to me and my purpose is reaffirmed! Thank you for that! Our girl deserves the ones she loves to know how she's doing and in return she deserves your words of prayer,support, encouragement and love on a daily basis!

Now for the really tough part...after 3 weeks with Robynn and Brian, I have gone back home. Robynn insisted that I too needed to go be a Mom again! I will remain in Bakersfield til next Friday then I'll return to Sacramento...celebrate through the weekend and finish up with round 2 of chemotherapy. I don't mind telling you leaving Robynn, my brother, Brady and Hailey was one of the toughest things I've ever had to do! Don't misunderstand the fact that I love my children dearly, but the 3 of us talked things over when she 1st got sick and we came to a unanimous decision that Aunt Robynn needed me more right now. I have had a wonderful support system to help with the kids and my job since I've been gone. Aunt Robynn and Uncle Brian have been so special to Cal and Tanner their entire lives. Callahan has even tried to bargain her way to spending the night with Robynn and Brian in the hospital so she could help take care of her Aunt Robynn herself.


I'm leaving you all with the most perfect image...Robynn "being a mom again" and the 4 of them getting to be a family!

If that doesn't make you drop to your knees in Thanks and Praise, I don't know what will!

You are the BEST army ever assembled! Battle on! Pray on!
