Happy Monday!
Good morning! I had my check up with the oncologist Friday and unfortunately my white blood cell count as well as my red blood cell count is very low. This means I am grounded. I am very susceptible to infection right now so I have to avoid contact with everyone. Even though I didn't go anywhere I still managed to get a cold and felt pretty lousy all weekend. My hair finally fell out. Saturday it was coming out by the handful so I asked James to just shave it off. I am glad I had already cut it short. I think it would have been very traumatic to shave off long hair. I was upset for a little while but got over it quickly! Today I have about 1/2 inch of hair but that is falling out as well. I am supposed to see the plastic surgeon today but I think I will cancel. With a cold already I don't think it is such a good idea. Regan did great at her gymnastic meet. She said it was huge! She did place in vault and all-around. A big thank you to my cousin Pat and his children Grayson & Morgan for making the trip into the city to cheer her on. Have a great week everyone!

Hey Dawn. Sorry to hear about the cold. I'm sorry I can't be there to help out with the kids. It's got to be hard to stay away from sick people when everyone is sick this time of year. I would call more often but I'm sure the last thing you want to do is talk about all of this on the phone with everyone who calls. Just know that you are in my thoughts everyday all day. We are all praying for you and love you very much!! I'm sure look beautiful even without hair. I know you have chemo on Friday so I will try to call Thursday night to check in.
Love, Cari
James, Dawn, and family - Got your comment on my blog tonight, thanks for checking in and commenting. We are praying for you guys. Wanted you to know that I am planning on walking in the 3 Day again next year along with my team from last year and a few others. Might be a good excuse for you guys to head down to Dallas, to either walk or cheer us on!! It truly is an experience of a lifetime.
