Hey everyone it's Yaya! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Tomorrow I am going to clinic to check counts for surgery and to make sure I don't need platelets. Then Friday my Dad,Cooper and I are driving to Las Vegas to visit Doctor Milnie before Surgery. Surgery is on Monday at 8:00am, I'm really nervous but I can't wait to get it over with. I will probably be in the hospital for over a week. But I get a epidural again for five days so that will be nice. Thank you again for all the support and love. Keep me in your prayers.Lots of extra prayers for my friend Vince & his family. The osteo beast is trying to raise it's ugly head again, so I pray his surgery is clear.
Love Yaya

Bone scan results are good for the body except the Rt. femur. But we know that, still until Dr B gets in there we won't know what is destroying the bone. A week with no screaming pain and Lex's mind was at peace. Shirley & Doug Allen donated a motorized wheelchair to her(it was Shirley's deceased Dad RIP) and has given Yaya incredible freedom. Ted & TJ built ramps so I could get it in the truck and a new found independence has been born for Yaya. She was able to go to the store with me & has been voluntering in her Aunt Dena's first grade class. She lets the kids read to her & at times reads to the class as a whole & they all made her special valentines. I have no clue how the days pass but they do. It is heading into 7days until surgery, ... >> full...

It feels like we won the lottery with the scan news, that is how much stress we all feel before the scan and waiting for results. But it is NED ( NO Evidence of Disease), and one we want to live in our household forever. Now we can breath and are heading for a walk in the wheelchair & w/ Kida (dog).. Her smile is priceless now, she had been laying on the couch looking like she was going to nap. Thank you Lord!, thank you for all your prayers. Please keep Alexis'friend Abigail in your prayers, she is struggling with pain after her leg revision in TX... Love to all: HAPPY Mom

A day with Dr. B and still no answers. We are too keep the leg from breaking and keep her comfortable. No answers on what is going on, we will have to wait until he gets in there. She is worried she will loose the leg, as parents we can't give her that peace, we just don't know yet. Tomorrow she has her 1st PET/CT scan, she is frustrated with constant days of medical appts. It is beyond words these feelings we have. It is sad to say, but this has been pure hell these last two months since chemo ended.
Today we met Mark Sweeney for lunch @ Trophy's, it is always a time filled with baseball talk & laughter, that was todays blessing. Also today Joey in Florida had his limbsalvage surgery, he did great and we ask for extra prayers to get his family through the next two ... >> full...

Surgery is set for Feb. 23rd @ 8am. Now we start the final countdown. Dr B, X-rays on the 3rd & multiple scans on the 9th to check for cancer. It is always a stresser to get through all of this. Maris has the flu this weekend, but we have so far knock on wood, kept it from Alexis & Tessa. Our friend & Osteo Warrior Tate is @ the Super Bowl having his Make A Wish & the family will then enjoy Disney World. We pray they have the time of there lifes, they deserve it. They were two months ahead of us in this nightmare, and showed us the way. They came to visit Lex last weekend to help cheer her up. Also Alexis' new friend Abigail (Texas) is having revision surgery of her leg tomorrow, please keep her in your prayers.Caroline has just reached day 200 after bone marrow ... >> full...
