First off, I just wanted to share with you a little about our treatment plan. Kaitlyns treatment will consist of chemo on and off for about 2.5-3 years. The Dr's expect that she will loose her hair soon, (we are asking God for mercy on that one, but we will gladly take that in return for the benefits of chemo if need be). This 2.5-3 year plan consists of about 95% outpatient clinic visits.. 1-2 times per week.
Well that said.....
We GOT TO GO HOME TODAY!!@!!!@!@!@
We are still awaiting the results from the day 8 tests (the going home and tests were completely separate) to see from the bone marrow, definitively how she is responding to the chemo (the blood labs they have taken give hints, but the marrow is the real tests) Thanks again to all of you, we are still a LONG way from done and her treatment still comes with the same risks/odds regardless if we are at home or the hospital. Thank you for the continued prayer and support, please don't think this is anywhere near over, just a little bit easier to manage
Another thing to keep in prayer if you can, I start my new job tomorrow. for those of you that don’t know, I accepted a new job about a week before any of this happened, so needles to say I’m a little nervous, wanting to give them my best while my wife is at home taking care of Kaitlyn.

Dear Heather, Eric, Kaitlyn and Maddy,
This morning I received a phone call from a man from our Adult Fellowship who donates blood to CHOC and wants to do so for Kaitlyn. My neighbor Janet Renaud, has a sister in Toronto, Canada who attends a very large (5,000 member Christian church)who has Kaitlyn on their prayer chain.
David Kiefer, had Kaitlyn on his churches prayer list. We could not begin to tell you how many e-mails we receive telling us the same heartfelt prayers that are continually being sent to Heaven every day.
We will pray for Eric's new job too.
Lovingly and Prayerfully,
Great Grandpa and Grandma
Travis and Jeanette
wanted to add to the Voice:
Do not be afraid
This is for My Glory
Take a deep breath!
I'm praying with everyone else.....
hey Cotters,
We've been with you in prayer since Kaitlyn's journey began. Our HS girls group is praying as well as our couple's bible study. Know that you all are being lifted up constantly. I hope you feel His grace & strength & comfort each new day.
love you guys,
Jeremy & Nicole
Eric,
My church is praying for your whole family. I passed the information to my senior pastor after I heard through OSP. I've started the prayer chains running in every direction I can think of. God Loves you and So Do We!
