Welcome to our blog!

Thanks for checking in! We will give updates on how things are going with our fight against multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, that keith was diagnosed with in march 2010. It will be an uphill battle, but one we will not lose.

port be gone!

Went back to UNC Tuesday. Blood counts are coming up!
Today we got the aphoresis catheter removed. What I thought was going to be a little more detailed, was actually a 5 minute gig. Took it out in the little cubby in the hospital. I thought they were going to wheel him to the Operating room, but nope, snipped it out right there. no, i didn't look. would have been at UNC for a different reason if i had.
He goes to his referring oncologist, Dr. Wehbie on the 18th or 19th and then returns to UNC on Dec. 16 for re-staging. This will tell us if he is in full remission!
Christmas should be great this year if all goes well!
Thanks everyone for the continued prayers and support! Keith continues to do well, but he gets very tired very quickly, but that is normal. Just have to be patient. We will explore how to fix his back fractures as soon as we get his reports back and get the ok!

I plan on working half days for the next 2 weeks and we actually need some fill ins if anyone has any time on wed and friday this week and wed, thurs, fri next week.
