                                              Day +64 of Transplant

     The last few days have been pretty good.  Since Paige is feeling a bit more tired than usual it didn't surprise us yesterday to see her labwork come back low (a result of the chemotherapy she received last week).  She will have bloodwork repeated on Monday and then we return to Ann Arbor on Tuesday and Wednesday for the pre-MIBG testing.
     Today between 4pm & 5pm we will be at the Courtland Center to be interviewed for the Children's Miracle Network radiothon ( WIOG 102.5) to raise money for the kids at Hurley.  If you haven't already, please consider donating to this wonderful cause.  While Andy and I have always donated to CMN while working at Hurley, it wasn't until Paige was diagnosed that we realized all they do for the kids.  There are so many extra things that the kids need that Hurley just can't afford and the money raised through CMN fills that gap.  It's when you stay a week at a time with your child at Hurley that you take notice of all those extra things that makes the stay easier.  The radiothon runs through tomorrow so please call  1-866-775-KIDS and make a donation... every little bit counts :)

Love,
Andy, Sandi & Paige
