Monday Morning Update, Blood Drive Info, and Thank Yous

Well Everett was back to his old self this weekend.  Last night he slept through the night for the first time in a long time.  We had an E.R. checkup on Saturday and we were told he looked great.  Today Carrie and Joy are watching him and his brother before they have to fly back to Philly.  Wednesday he is taking a trip to get his PICC line removed from his arm and to have another check up.

We wanted to reach out to all friends and family in the Oil City area.  Everett is having a sponsored blood drive at Trinity United Methodist Church, 2 Center Street, Oil City Jan 31st from 1:00PM to 7:00PM.  See the picture below for more information.

For all those who are not in the Oil City area, we ask that you give blood as well.  Everett has needed many blood products and will continue to in the coming months.  In addition to giving blood, another way to help, is to get typed for bone marrow.  There are many people, including kids, waiting for life saving bone marrow.  There are many great stories out there of lives saved by bone marrow donations.  (Although we hope not, Everett may need bone marrow)

We wanted to give a couple of special thank yous.  First to the friend who sent all the meals from Omaha steaks.  We've had 3 meals already and everything was fantastic and easy to make.  Great idea and Dad loves the steaks.  Second, to a donation from 'Sarah,' although we have never met you, we can't thank you enough for your donation.  It's very encouraging when people who have lost someone to cancer, dedicate their lives to helping those who are dealing with it.  We continue to be amazed by all the unexpected generousity.

That's all for now, thank the Lord is has been a quiet weekend and start to the week.  Love to you all.
