July 28

Britney came home today after an overnight stay in the hospital. More chemo was injected into her via spinal tap. She says she was glad it was only one day; it is getting harder to go each time because she said she knows what she is getting herself into each time.
Regardless she is still being brave and getting rid of these bad news bears.
Love ya Brit.

Donations

First of all I want to thank everyone for everything that has been done. A lot of money has been raised and Britney appreciates it. The 5k was amazing and Brit wants to say thanks for donating. For future reference, please just give any more donations directly to Britney and Joe, or directly to the America first credit union (Britney Mcpherron Graham).

Update

If anyone is interested, we have some left over wrist bands from the 5k that was this weekend. If you would like one call Shaelynn at 801 599 3607. She is selling them for $3 dollars each. Also I have about 7 t shirts left that are being sold for $25, so if you are interested in those call me, Kenzie, at 801 597 1404. They are a cute light blue with a logo on them about Brit.

As for Britney, she continues to fight and is doing well. As far as I know nothing else has changed. Her levels continue to rise, and she is such an amazing fighter. I love her so much and Brit I am so proud of everything you do. You are so strong. Everyday I am so thankful to know you.
Lots of love, Kenzie

Home Sweet Home

Britney is back home……For now. She was there 5 LOOOOOOng days. The day she got there the IV’s were started. IT started with a spinal tap, where she had chemotherapy injected into her spine. The next day she went thru a “24 hour chemo”. This is where for literally 24 hours the poison is dripped thru her. The other days are spent recovering with a few other meds. As soon as Dr’s can tell its out of her system, she can go home. Brit said she has never been more thankful when she had to go potty. She and the toilet meet about every 20 minutes. How annoying.
Anyway, she is home and feeling better. She said the visit was VERY boring and she hated it. I do not blame her.
Remember those numbers I talked about weeks ago about her platelets? Well, I have good news… She has her own now, and they are at 240,000… This is great. (They were I think around 9,000 when admitted, maybe 13,000 Its one of the 2….) Anyway, so this is the update I have for now. Thanks to everyone who still reads this…. Keep Britney in your prayers!!

Day I dont know

Brit is back in the hospital this week. Treatment is back on. Chemotherapy started yesterday and she has to wait till it is out of her system to be released. They are hoping for either Saturday or Sunday. Yesterday she had a hard day with nausea and pain, but today she is feeling well. Keep her in your prayers, and I will keep you updated.
Thank you to everyone for all your love and support for Britney. She loves it!!!
