Keep it comin....

Our girl is workin overtime!
She has received NO BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS in the past 16 hours and her hemoglobin is 9.7 (up from 8.7 and needs to be right around there), WBC is 1.8 (up from .6 and needs to be at least 2), and lastly, her platelets are 96000 (need to be over 100,000)
I have NEVER pretended to be a Mathematician, but I'm pretty sure these numbers mean she is almost HOME BOUND!
What an amazing leap in our favor! (celebration song of choice blares in background)
Three cheers for our girl...
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!

Well, I am not going to waste my time on the computer when I get to spend time with Robynn today! Brian had some things to take care of and Jenny and Robynn's mom are sick:(get better girls!!!) I'm feelin quite giddy about this opportunity...gotta run!

XOXO,
S

Potato Head - you are INCREDIBLE....but then, we always knew that! You are truly an inspiration to all of us. I carry a little picture of you around in my phone case and I show & tell EVERYBODY I come in contact with about your challenge. You have so many people (you don't even know) praying for you. I don't think there is one minute that God is not hearing about our Robynn! The power of prayer......unstoppable! We love you so much, Aunt Jill and Uncle Mitch

Dear Robynn,
Hi! It is Dianah- all the way from Alabama. Kerrie emailed me and I have been keeping up with you on this blog ever since. I want you to know that prayers are going up for you in Birmingham! My prayer group prays for you out loud, by name every Monday morning. My Bible study group is praying for you. My sunday school class is also praying. And I lift your name up to God every day and ask for complete healing and the salvation of all those that you come in contact with because of what they have seen God do! That's all. Just wanted you to know that all the way across the US - you have support! Love to you and your family- dianah ellis (used to be pressley)

Dear Robynn,
I am so consumed with emotion right now. My story as you know, is that I lost my dad in November 2007 to cancer. I prayed so hard for my dad to be delivered from that terrible disease. GOD took him on home. I had lost faith at that time, but it was not lost for long because I do believe that GOD was in control and thus I acknowledged HIS goodness even in in my dad being taken away. I asked for GOD's forgiveness for doubting HIM even if for a moment. When I learned of your illness, I returned yet again to pleading and begging the only one who can really turn this around. GOD has shown me that HE still is in the business of healing. HE has not turned his back and never will. I thank HIM for your progress. For it is HE who has total control. May HE continue to look out for you, for you truly are an angel right here on earth. I know that HE has a great plan for you and is showing us that your work here is not done. Heal on sista'. I love you.

Hi Robynn & Shelley!

First, WAY TO GO ROBYNN!!!!

I just returned from touring the ballroom at "The Ranch House" in my Whitney Ranch community clubhouse in Rocklin, and it is gorgeous! That's where we are holding our first fundraiser. It holds 250 people, so if there is anyone reading who would like to attend, it is a Texas Hold 'Em poker tournament Sat. April 26th beginning at 2pm, $50 buy in and there will be prizes for 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd places. We have Kim's restaurant manager brother-in-law donating food for the event (including ribs! yummy!) and we will provide soft drinks. Also, some beer and wine will be available. We will raffle off gift certificates (gift certificates are for local restaurants) for a couple of dollars a ticket. All proceeds go to the Goodell family in their time of need. We have a lot of people planning to attend, so if you would like to come please email me, kristy.ware@sbcglobal.net, Kerrie, Bree-Ann, Carol, Kim, or Melissa for reservations!

Thank you all ahead of time for your support!

LOTS OF LOVE!!!
Kristy

Hey guys!
Robynn - everyone who KNOWS you thinks you're amazing - is that cool or what!? Keep up the good fight girl - you ROCK!
So here's my guess as to what your wedding song was... based on your Rascall Flats theme song and all, I'm guessing something like, "I'll still be loving you" by Restless Heart... but then again, I may be off by about a decade... that was more of a late 80's song but a good one! If that's not the song, then find it and dance to it as well - it's a good one.
My last little comment for tonight is that I'm loving all these cheerleading comments and such but I say WE NEED PICTURES! I think it's time we saw some young Robynn pix - right everyone?
Keep smiling :)
Love, Kim F
