Cancer!

Most of you by now know that Brette's cancer has returned.
She was re-diagnosed on August 21 at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City Utah. She is doing really well and almost done with her first month of chemo.
As of right now chemo is every Thursday and her Mother-in-law drives her to her appointments. Since I'm on home health I'm not allowed to drive. :) Funny, i didn't know that last time. Kade is working full time and spends the evenings with me at home when I'm at home. If I'm in the hospital Kade spends the weekends with me and his family and my family come down for visits.

We are currently searching for a bone marrow donor. Results have come in and Mitchell is not a match, Kendle is out of the running and we are having issues getting Costa Rica to know how to test Andrew. As for everything else, it seems to be running smoothly.

Kade and I moved in with Mark and Karen (Kade's parents) to help us save money and to have someone around in case I got really sick. They have been a wonderful blessing and I'm grateful for them. It's amazing the relationship you can gain by spending all day with someone.

I know that my mom is heart broken that she can't be down here all the time helping me out. It's sad really, but you just have to make due with what we can do.
