So as I check in all that we continue to Pray for of other families one special little family Kaitlyn Quandahl as I typed on her page I know Im not good with words but I'll share any way:
My heart Prayers Hugs are with you all. Man not only the weather storms But families that face medical issues sure are facing many storms them selves We have to stand tall to Cancer and it hard I know Faith ~ Hope and lots of Love we get us thru these storms and the rains falls of tears will continue even as the sun-shines to make are wonderful rain bows of Hope it the Thunder and lighting and the Hail and the gusts of wind we family face with kids due too Cancer that put the Twisters in are lives out of are Control But are Faith of family and friends of a community that keeps us strong through theses storms so let the Rumbles of the storms soon pass and we Have Peace and Healing. God will be there at are sides and he will carry us thru these Floods of emotions But Cancer will not win or take the spirit from us so We stand tall and snuggle a little more .Hugs and Prayers through these storms of Life xoxox...

So I'll end with that I ask for Prayers for there family and for my little man Terrell as we head on the road by 4:30am in the morning He is very scared and as we are God has gave me some good sign we did finally get a family picture taken for the Church directory .My heart is very heavy and mind is full of emoticons so as I jump in the driver sit to drive this when I know I'll be asking God to Put myself in his hands and carry me thru this again this what got us thru many other storms letting God being in control and trusting he will steer us thru what ever storm lays ahead I will update as we go .Thank you all for continued Prayers Terrell and family

This weekend brings us 3 of the 4 seasons Saturday was full of sun and wonderful out this morning we awake to snow every where then after church to rain Wow I know it will get here soon enough.
Friday at 4:15pm bring us news my Mom passed away just slept away .What a shock but yet so Blessed she got her wish. As she feared death so bad so I guess made this last wish for her. She has been doing wonderful all appointment's this week were all Great,she made it to the Haystack supper she always loved going to ,she was able to see the house that we lived in 45 years ago, and one last Bullshitting with Emanuel on Thursday night I think Emanuel will miss this most calling Grandma and making bets to a football game and calling her back she owed him $20.00 she would pay and not really know whet she was betting to . Terrell said it best Grandma back with Bud ( this her dog that passed last fall ) We were able to see Mom on Saturday to for one last time as she will be cremated they told us in what to expect Terrell was fine with this Emanuel said he did not want to I did not push him and when we saw her it was like she was resting Just the way Mom should of been not darken in color on nothing I reassured Emanuel of this and he said I could see her just fine where I was standing and she still owes me $20.00 bucks So Mom I guess your going to Heaven still owe 20.00 $ LOL
We will have Mom service on Friday 4-26-13 At Rossville Prsby. Church .
Thanks you for all the support and continued Prayers
Love Terrell and family

Well Yesterday brings phone calls first from are wonderful Endo. she is most heart felt person ever called to apologize again for not calling us earlier on the MRI and to see how Terrell was doing ? we had a very long visit and I back her 200% for not taking Terrell as a patient to growth hormone and this will not happen for Terrell it would have to take some major to change my mind on this after 7 years praying about and when we finally do we again are thankful for doing the MRI when we did and to find this growth .then finally the call from are team from MPLS after many hours of reviewing Terrell's MRI from last August it was there very tiny so it has grown .They are with Lacrosse we can sit and wait or do it now ? any other time Ken and I jumped at it now for some reason something is holding for sure me back ? I don't know is school almost down then do it ? but my gut don't have a ease on this and I can not get my finger pointed to why ?? it driving me nut or a sign form God I know that may sound little out there But my insecticides usually hit it on the head for example if I met some one for the first time and I get a funny feeling and they have not done nothing to me come out and it like I told you there was something not right and people laugh at me . The not knowing is killing me then I think if I do nothing this night mare will all go away.Or I just can not get my self to think this simple little 1 percent so many would be jumping for joy but no me .This simple 1 percent could be round 3 to cancer I just don't know if mental and emotional can go thru it again and it not about ME it about Terrell . So please continue the Prayers for direction and strength and Healing for Terrell

Today the sun is out but has a chill in the air. Today bring many emotions for me as we still await more information as to where we go from here . As I return form my trip to Arizona a trip I earned thru my sells with Tastefully Simple I felt so selfish to go putting Terrell medical needs off but Terrell is doing Great going to school etc. I have to keep telling myself give it to God Jan give to him he has the plan be patient . reflection of time passed can be so overwhelming and the storm you thought you stood alone through you see every storm God was there and carried us through. I have to believe in this that Yes God will see us through this storm . I can not take the energy and think that the 99 percent this Meningioma tumor is NON cancerous I have to stay strong .Yes it is a very low 1 percent But way to high for Terrell he has fallen 1 time to many in this percent range As when the surgeon explained to us to where he would going in the only words I could say yet another scare not earned from being just a Boy living life and earning it. I read online about this does ease my thought any . I had a most wonderful room mate God sent while in Arizona never had met TS set up the room mates so we have no control over whom we get But God has plans and works in mysterious ways .The room mate I had her son pass away will be 3 years on mother day you guess it a brain tumor ? Thursday night after my very long travel to get to Arizona we talked until are time almost 5:00am it was the best talk we had so much alike and both truly understood are cancers were to totally different out comes . Thank you Cinnamon for being there and most wonderful talk we had Thank you for your strength. You are Amazing person and Mom ever Thank you for you !!
Return from 80 degree weather to SNOW then rain
It been a very emotional day for me as we still wait for where we go from here waiting of the NOT knowing is harder then the knowing . Again Terrell is home doing his everyday thing a young man can possible do He went to a swap met on Sunday with Rose but no animal brought home . Again we ask for Prayers and strength to have the very best out come for Terrell and that all the doctors are all o the same page we have a great team of them . more then Blessed to have all of them on Terrell medical care
Love Terrell and family

PS the only song keeps going thru my head is Josh Groban " You Raise me up "

We saw the neruo surgeon today 4-8-13. The finding is some what good it 99on cancerous tumor call a Meningioma not on common when you've had radiation to the brain BUT for Terrell age is uncommon . All of Terrell caners have fallen in the very low range of NOT happening so Yes I'm concerned just with that 1ven if they said 100hat it was not I still would worry Terrell is the one that make up that f NOT happening and having it happening as the doctors put it. Dr.Bob has been doing his job 35 yrs. and told me that Terrell for as he knows when we started this Melloblastoma brain cancer was put into a study because of the age of DX 22 months average and yes one of the most common brain cancer in kids but in average age of 3 years old and up again low appening and then the All T-cell leukemia chemically unset again less then 1-million happening and another the oing brain cancer to Leukemia very rare again low r even if heard of happening But if the other way very common .as Dr.Bob calls it Terrell is writing the book of what should not happen and having it happen Dr.Bob also stated far as he knows in the national survey National Terrell far as he know is the only one this has happen to. surgeon states it a very simple surgery and if any area of the brain this coming to is the Best area to have it happen Amen . If we said we wanted surgery today it would of happen But the neuo surgeons in MPLS are reviewing the MRI and the team there is looking and awaiting there input. we could wait 3 months but they are thinking if this was not there 6 months ago and this size already and causing no harm but they concerned that it could grow faster and being harms way. Looks of very overwhelming info again to take in and being a 3 time around man you learn so much and have even more question to asked even after a 30 minutes of thinking of all the question of the what if's ? and not even out the door and have many more .So for right now we wait I leave Thursday for 4 days yes I feel selfish But as I watch Terrell I'm concerns Yes but then again he doing Great . If they put him the hospital and etc. No I wouldn't leave .Terrell now 13 1/2 years old did great he listen as I told the surgeon He has a voice now I have to have his input He agreed so he printed off the best pictures to explain to Terrell and showed him the size of it being like his thumb nail explained to him where they would open his head up which would be on the left side around his ear area ( again a scare he did deserve to earn) Terrell said I get silly when I go to sleep Dr. laugh and asked do you get scared Terrell said no I'm young man now .Terrell asked good questions the Dr told him if he any other question to call him and he would talk to him I thought that was great . as we visited he asked whom did are first brain surgery we told him he looked and asked when ? he thought and said I was a fellow then and worked with him then I asked if he was still working cause he was a old doctor then (12years ago) he said yes and he happen to be in the office when he got the call and the surgeon remember Terrell WOW to leave a mark like that and this doctor said you know I 'm thinking and asked a few more ? and said Yes I do remember Terrell he was in on his second back to back surgery . small world .as we left there was a big tall man and scared Terrell as he came around the corner and he goes have I know you and Ken and I both look again and were like you were the big guys that helped hold Terrell down to get a IV in O I remember that is the day I lose my hearing this man is over 6 foot and 300 lbs if that gives you any in sight how big he is and it took then 4 people to hold a 22 month old . Sorry for this to be so long Yes Terrell will be having surgery will not do the waiting 3 months thing .But we wait MPLS to contact with the surgeon in LaCrosse So again Terrell has left a mark in so many people and teaching Doctors for the kid that faces brain cancer which is one to many and it truly sucks that Terrell has to be the one I sure hope this is not God plans in some point .Yes there more then likely Terrell will have another of these . And that why him ever having the chance of doing Growth Hormone replacement to help him grow is off the table This is the one reason for 7 years we held off knowing this could happen so I guess I take this as my sign from God for the reason why If Terrell would of been on this it would of been much worst because the tumor and possible more then one would grow very fast since this drug help you along with anything else that should not be . So please keep my little short sassy young Man in your prayers .He is my rock I have let me tears flow when you work over nights man I'm surprise they didn't give me a IV to give me my fluids back .Terrell and I have talked and I have explained everything to him to best for him to understand and not worry him all he could say to me Mom I'm not scared Wow how do I not hold back the tears with that answer told me not to cry Mom know God will help me . I just hug him and said we have to keep believe this Terrell you are so right God will get us thru yet another storm as I said that he I heard it thunder last night God was playing his drums again Terrell was laughing and this what I always told the boys so they won't be afraid of thunder storms .
Terrell has grown to learn so much thinks that any child should never have to face . I have always said If Terrell can keep the Hope alive in just one person that face this monster of cancer then I guess he has done his job my job is to Help Terrell stay strong and him keeping me strong Because if he in for the fight I have to right there with him and believe the fight will be the victory at the end. Emanuel wow he has grow so much and never knowing his brother no other way . First thing when home form school I was sleeping since I worked a over night then right to Lacrosse and home at 1:30pm and to rest for work tonight came in asked tons of questions I know he is worried but we had a very long talk reassured Him Terrell will be okay I was a bit surpise when he said he wants to go the day we have it done I usually do not take him along as I do not want Terrell illness to stop Emanuel life cause Cancer effect s all in a family no matter what age BUT I will not let it stop for sure Terrell life and not Emanuel either
I was going to close Terrell caring bridge page but I think I will keep it up I do have to update it So good Night and Prayers are more then welcome .
Thank you

WE are 13 Today !! teenager !! WOW a Very Blessed day So overwhelmed to whom ever thought this day would be possible ?
The tear flow in JOY !! Terrell has been up since the crack of dawn ready for the day.
I'm a lost for words . Thinking another year in the memory book and new one to start But Number 13 !!
The cake is cooling .Have to frosted he wants it like a Chicago Bears ?? Some gifts open and cards he gotten in the mail all week. We got him a Bears flag for his bike (3 wheel bike w/a basket) Emanuel had to put it on for him and then Emanuel had to take his bike for a ride he comes in and say* someone drove by him and honked there horn and yells out GO BEARS ! Emanuel sure got a laugh out of this !!
are day if filled with many things today . nothing in stone But to Church, eat out of Terrell's choice, cake and then more gifts.. Then this afternoon if weather permits to a plane ride !! Yes that right .Earlier in the year Terrell had a consult with a Doctor locally of removing a wart on his thumb .and then labs which they could not get so the anesthesiologist Skip Loebig came to see if any luck but none Terrell was so brave He said to Terrell maybe someday I'll take you for a plane ride if okay by your MOM ? Well Friday got a message from Skip saying if Sunday the19th of August works out weather wise to come to Decorah airport at 3:30 pm . First thought to mind was Terrell's 13th. Birthday is literally going to be a a high flying adventure! Start of the morning was gray . I've been praying a little Pray for the sun to shine and as I type I see it starting to come out . He and Emanuel know nothing yet of this . I myself is excited.
Terrell last night coming home from the races kept saying KNEI my song thinking what ?? wanting his song Give me on more shot . So Monday morning I 'll being calling them too play his song But also add so you all can enjoy..
I know it been along time since are last update .We did have a yearly check up in MPLS. all test results are Great.
MRI all good I know some are thinking ?? why MRI well we are in the long term flow up clinic now and they say that every other year we have to do a MRI to make sure we don't have recurrence of tumor of the brain believe me when we heard this a year ago like WHAT ? they told us the brain is cured no more MRI's she said we do this just every other year knowing what some cancer treatment can do .And with this clinic they check Every organ (per say) of his body make sure that treatment given IS NOT causing other cancer
and other delay effects that his body may face . This is how they found the iron over load 2 years ago normal iron level is 145 he was 2200 now down to 1115 yes down I was so hoping we would be done with this med Ejade which removes the iron from the body well not yet . But this med also causes side effects to Kidneys,eyes and hearing which all have been hit so we have labs every 4-6 weeks to make sure all his organs are handling this well. Seizures delayed effects of Radiation these really suck !! still adjusting med to get under control . his Nero. evaluation all when Great. All labs were in the normal my be able to take one more pill away Yeah to this. One thing I like about when we get a copy of the labs it shows the history way back to 2007 and we can compare and it like WOW never thought we would see normal from either way critical low to critical High .But NORMAL !!
Well before ending this and off to Church and enjoy Terrell's Big 13 day.. Thank you ALL for the con't support thru this all.
If you could check in to a little girl and say many extra prayers here is her web Please leave a message for them http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kaitlynquandahl P
Love to you all and Blessed to have yet another day and year to be Blessed with and Even cancer free couldn't ask for more. Still praying for all you family out there,

Hi Everyone
It's been along time I know we are doing fine.
& years ago almost this was are life line I know someday I'll down load all of this and have to show Terrell all are support we had during are time . The last year flew by it to think it is 2012 ? the weather has be amazing.
Terrell is now in the 6 Grade doing well . In October we lost a great person Terrell's Grandpa Baumler was dx in June of 2011 with Leukemia it was a very hard day in hearing the word cancer again in a family member again. Terrell understood what Grandpa had ahead of him . Grandpa first round was a tough one but you can not keep a good German down for long .He took everything in strides. Then October came and Grandpa got sick had nothing to defend himself to fight his white count was zero. so on October 11 Grandpa lost his battle he is dearly missed .Why is it you never die from Cancer but all the other stuff that cancer does to are body to fight it ? Cancer just sucks it takes to many loves and friends and people that just want to live there life.
As this was are life line and a very very dear friend and my life line when we went are BMT this Dear friend Lori Meyer if I was in need of anything from prayers she was on my speed dial of calling and she was there. She walk with Terrell at his fist ever survivors lap at relay for life knowing her self and being herself a cancer survivor is now fighting for her fight against cancer one more time so many of you out there could raise this Amazing Friend up in your prayers would be truly appreciated . She has a caring bridge page user name lorimeyer1 Please send this family all the prayers they sure can use them.
You we are support and strength and still are yet today so Thank you someday seem so small in all that you have done.
send out Prayers to all family that have crossed are paths on this jourany of cancer We love you and May God con't to Bless each and everyone of you.
Love Terrell and family

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !!

Well Santa has found are home once again Terrell is thrilled with his gifts of Jay Culter the cap don't come off.Are one year appt. w/ are Dr. Bob all when Great yet again we do not return for one year !!
On December 13th,2004 it was 6 years since are second cancer.
What 6 years has broughts us ? Even more then after having cancer the first time just back in June of 2001.
The first cancer we were just in the mode we had all faith in are health care whatever they said was and from day one we had the faith we could bet this even thou the as not on are side just being under the age of 2 years old @ 22 months.At the age of 2 years old the odds we more favorable of survioral. But to this day I will never ever forget the words of another parent Devon Doughty now a angel saying to me don't look at the odds we all have to go we it is time that is just a medical number not a God Number he only knows when the time is .So very true Terrell did bet the odds on this hands down thru all his treatment he only lost a pound and only had one treatmet held for one week due low counts and that was his last treatment and if this would not of happen he would of finished all treatment on his 3rd. Birthday but he did just a week later. He zipped thru this hands down. He was my rock and still today.
And then out of all treatment that door slams us hard very hard 28 months out of all treatments just days before Christmas . Dr. Bob then knowing the odds once again we not Good. But Terrell again bet them and No he did not spend the time in the hospital for Christmas .
So in this pass 6 years.
6 Years has brought out once again are faith !
6 Years of Terrell never giving up the fight!
6 years of the not knowing !
6 years of Terrell belly giggle finally returns!
6 Years of Terrell true sparking eyes when he smiles coming back.
6 Years of just living on egg shells
6 Years of why life has to stop do to Cancer.
6 Years but really for Terrell it's been 9 1/2 years since cancer entered his life and all of it.But thru it all Cancer will not stop Terrell life come hell and high water.That is if we let cancer win So we live life and he has so much to catch in what he has missed. Even with the odds twice stacked again him God has better plans for Terrell because he going by Gods odds which are better and this has been show thru the First cancer. His second cancer and the Road of Hell of his Bone Marrow Transplant. I am so glad Terrell took the odds with Gods not the Medical odds.
As a Mom I will take the fight with him he maybe my short sassy 11 year old I want to pull my hair out somedays. In not 6 years did it take for me to learn this I know at 5:23pm on August 19,1999 when he was born he was a fighter my laid back easy going lillte man. Has never let the odds hold him back. Thankyou Terrell for this you are have been Cure of one Cancer and a 6 years Cancer survior but again really 9 1/2 years 2x Cancer Survior you have touch so many lives and show what real faith can bring keep with God's numbers young man God has so many more plans for you to complete. So keep being my short sassy young man. keep that sparking eye smile and that full belly giggle.
I love you more .
Well Christmas come once again and many Blessing once again have been answered I send out to many of you friends and family across the miles.
Thankyou all for the con't Prayers and support for are family thru all of this we could of never made it with out you there.
Many of God Blessing to you all and a Very Healthy 2011!!
As we will have another Awesome Year of living Life to kick Cancer in the Butt as Terrell says.
Love & Hugs
Terrell & Family

Wow here we are again between updates.
It is a cool damp day in Iowa after many days in arow of are wonderful fall weather. Which we so need to get the crops out after a very wet October.
Terrell is doing well both he and Emanuel has the little seasonal flu not H1N1 .but both thru this just fine and I got it then a week after them.
Terrell is so loving school he is going to are private School this year the class is of only 15 kids.No matter were Terrell goes the kids are so wonderful to him even at the Public school the kids were great and still are this poor kid cann't go anywhere with out someone coming up and talking to him and thing. so we are so luck to have some wonderful kids around. They take him just the way he is and during any game they play they make the best of what terrell is able to do.They just Love him.
teachers conference all went well Terrell teacher told us that she on the girls to give hime some space there mother hens with him her comment to them * would you do this to any of the other 4th. grade boys ? NO he just to cute so I guess I'll have to be keeping a eye on this boy ??
They are pleased with his progress there and say it a joy to have him. They Love his Independents !! But as you see he got the girls wrapped already..We are still working on his seizers getting them under control last visit we did a MRI to rule out if there were any lesion there that maybe causing them ? all was well.Then after this was done thru another family there daughter started having really bad seizers and she has to have surgery aspa the vessels in her brain are closed off causing this so my light bulb went off and called to see if they could see if this was happening w/Terrell Dr. Rothmeyer could not see anything like this on there but it was a good ?? asked .But there is special kind of test they do to get this to see. But all in all Terrell is looking Great .Feeling Great !and just being a 10 year old BOY! what more can we ask for.
So as many of know that with Thanksgiving approaching the we just do not count are Blessing once but many times and each and every day..
The First part of Dec.8th it will 5 years since this sencond cancer slammed in are face . we move forwrd we will win not Cancer it may get us down but not out so life for us has to move forward.Some days it was just yesteray and others like 5 years.
So as the Thanksgiving Day comes take sometime and be thankful for the small Blessing in your life.And with everything going on in the world be should be happy to have good health,a home,are for all are Faith and friends and family that has seen us thru the best and the worst day of Terrell life.
From are home to all of you out there that check in leave a message. we Wish a Very Bless Thanksgiving from are home to where ever you maybe. God Blessing be with you...
Love Terrell & family

Wow been so long again .
Terrell has turned double numbers the BIG 10 !! on the 19th.of August.
It is a sure blessing to see make this birthday with all he has faced.
He is doing well still having the seizers but this medicine is doing okay but having some but mood wise is great.
School started today he is in the Fourth Grade and we put him in are private school this year because the other school had so many kids this is I think 18 kids less so that many more less for him to worry about he looked so forward to school and did great.
And Emanuel turned 8 years old on the 13th of August and he just cryes he is growing up but can not wait to be 16 ??
He is in second grade he said this moring *Mom summer went so fast I just cann't go to school* I told him you have so much to find out what your friends did all summer. We were busy making cupcakes for school yesterday.for treats today.
The last couple years they have taken ice cream or pop sickles I like that but not this year.
It is so hard to think that my babies are growing up so fast and it was just yesterday we would rock the day away.
But with school starting football to start and then we do more of are Boy Scouts stuff.But these are days we have longed for.

Hello,
Well I am back on my two feet on land. The Cruise was unbelieveable GREAT !!The ocean is blus Yes Blue so when you see pictures they are not edited for that they really are blue..
The sail friday was a litle rough like you had been drinking all night trying to walk everyone was this way and after while all you would have to do is stop and laugh and start over again. I laugh so much and met so many great Tastefully Simple friends from all over. I guess where I come from I myself was pretty amazed that I even made this sales incentive. When Jill the CEO was on stage welcoming all of us and saying there are 689 of you that made this incentive out of nearly 28,000 consutants making you all are Top 5ells of this company WOW !! when I guess you break it down that is pretty Awesome..Are sail home was great it was like were not even sailing so smooth.
So on my arrivel home monday . tuesday moring we headed to MPLS. to have Terrell do a inpatient EEG test for 24 hours. He did Great with all them wires on. They have not Read all of this yet. But we are a little confued yet what we were told were seizers are not by the test??? But when he is quiet and coloring that when he is having one..So no full answer on this. we had my other Dr stop by. Endo. still throwing this thought around on Growth Hormone..
The Unvty. of Minnesota truly amazes us. one email with are concerns and a call the next day wanting to know when we can come and we get there at 8:15 and resgtier by 8:40 am hooked up to the EEG and testing by 11 clock and by noon have 6 different doctors stop in. That get pretty mind full.
Terrell did super all his labs were great in which we had no concerns with that.
he even got to play all nigth at the Ronald McDonald Hosue this is something he didn't get to do much when we were there. Met so many new families some are in great need of Prayers The name has sliped my mind but form Minnosta. And we ran in to Matthew and his mom Please send some prayers out to the he is the same age as terrell and has been figthing this cancer a long time the treatment that was help is no longer working and has gone to his bones he looks so great.So may hugs out to you guys.
So I guess this is all I have for you will update soon we know something. Thankyou goes out to all are Coummunity of prayers.
well enjoy the warm sun and may God con't to Bless each and everyone of you~~~~~~~~~

love Terrell and family

Well we are still around sorry for the delay in updates.
Here we are 4 Years post Transplant.
Sometimes no it don't seem like 4 years it like yesterday. And when we were started this journey time just sometimes just didn't not move for us.
What has this 4 Years brought us? When I look back Wow how now I can see god was there carrying us all.
On March 21,2005 Terrell enter the hospital to prepare is body for a life saving treatment for his ALL T-Cell Leukemia chemical on set from his first cancer treatment a Bone Marrow Transplant (via cord blood )was his only cure.
On March 29,2005 @ 1:15pm Terrell received his transplant it took 15 minutes.Yet to this day we thank the family for there donated cord that saved are son life THANKYOU !!
In this 4 years has boroughs us many joys, many many trying times, But Thur it all Terrell never gave up.He fought his cancer and the treatments with so much courage.
In this 4 years Terrell has faced more courage then most adults. Yes he is CANCER FREE yet to this day and we are Thankful for that.
In this 4 year time we have seen so many after effects of
treatment that he faces each day.
*From the being on the vent 6 times.
*kidney failure 2 times
*GVH (graph vs host) skin and GI track.
*Gall Bladder out
*Lost of blood after surgery of the gal bladder 5 units of blood.
*To relearn to walk 3 times, talk to eat took a year.
*10 line infection.
*many,many units of platelets a day some days as many as 3 units to keep him at 75,000 & countless blood transfusions.
*up to as 12 IV pumps at one time.
*blood clot in your bladder that you pee blood for weeks
*Collapse lung
In 380 days you spent 285 in the hospital 285 days .
Yes I know there is 365 days in a year. But I had to do a talk to a group about how we need FAITH in are life and when I wrote it .It hit me Terrell when on the vent just 7 days after getting his Transplant April 6Th and the last day he walk out and has stay out a year later was April 6 to the day and never has been back in, Weird ?
And it was Easter day 2005 that Terrell quiet eating and if you all remember right it was Easter to the day that he started to eat (Ham ).
Also in this year he even got a helicopter ride .
In this time Terrell my son I am so proud of you.Your courage,someday seems to amaze me.
In this time Terrell you have faced so very much you were so very small when cancer entered your life.
Cancer has change your life each and every day you face the after effects this has done to you.
*The memory loss
*Hearing loss
*scares on your chest for your central lines
*scare on your belly
*scare on the back your head
These are scares that you have and will have the rest of your life and didn't get to earn them by falling off your bike, playing your favorite sport But all due to CANCER.
And now for the last 8 months you deal with seizures. Terrell I know we pray every night that God will have them stop and that we cont Cancer Free and that some day that you will be able to live a child no medicine but you take them like a pro.
And always know Terrell you are my Hero and I love you to the moon and back.
As you see in this 4 years when we look back all the memories of this journey it still seems like yesterday. but so glad some of those days are years gone.
And on this journey we have met some great families and always will hold special parts in are hearts.
we have seeing what cancer can do it take so many young people.And there are many that have won this battle.
So if any of you still have them Terrell support shirt it would be great to see you get them out and wear them on his day March 29,09 .$ years and CANCER FREE !!
Sorry this update is so very long this is what happens when you don't for 3 months.
When I look at the pictures to get them all together i just can not get a theme together. So I am hoping to get it together and to share with you are extended family what My Hero Terrell has faced in his short 91/2 years.
Wishing You all a VERY BLESSED EASTER. it's a season of new beginnings.
Again Thank You for your cont support and prayers.
Love,
Terrell and family

PS

ps
Please send out prayers to a great friend Mitch he is hanging on for his Miracle and he Belives so please check in and let them know web page is www.caringbridge.org/wi/mitchmaxey
We love you guys ~~~~~~~~~~

Please click on this and listen to all there songs Mercery Me is truly amazing uplifting song it help us get thru many time so click on and listen to them all. also I have added the story

My Purpose

I have cancer. There isn't an explanation as to why I became sick.
All I know is God has a plan for each of us and for each plan there
is a purpose. Some of us know what our purpose in life is and others
will never find it. Then there are those like me who accomplish if
without ever realizing it.
My journey with cancer will not and has not been without purpose.
It is through my illness that I have helped doctors understand this
disease a little more so they may find a cure.
It is thorugh my illness that I have opened the eyes to those around
me to how precious life really is. Something we all to often take
for granted.

It is though my illness that some of those around me have realized
that life is too short to be afraid of our feelings. My cancer has
been beaten back by the power of love. It is the most powerful of
emotions, one not to be afraid of, but to be embraced. To be loved
by someone unconditionally and completely is to reach into your soul
and feel warmth.

It is thorugh my illness that I have shown there is no guarantee for
the future--only dreams for it. Whether the future is just another
day or another 75 years, we should all dream big and live fully
everyday.

It is through my illness that I have seen the strong cry, only to
find more strength.

It is through my illness that some of us who haven't talked to God
in a while have once again begun to pray.

It is through my illness that I have joined the hands of those
familiar to those of strangers, to form one long chain.
I have already accomplished so much in such a short amount of time
and each day I continue to touch the hearts of many.

That is my purpose.

Easter Prayer

God, give us eyes to see

the beauty of the spring,

And to behold Your majesty
in every living thing.

And may we see in lacy leaves

And every budding flower..
The Hand that rules the universe

with gentleness and power.

And may this Easter grandeur

that spring lavishly imparts

Awaken faded flowers of faith

lying dormant in our heart.

Give us ears to hear, dear God,

the springtime song of birds

with messages more meaningful
than man�s often empty words.

Telling harried human beings

who are lost in dark despair

�Be like us and do not worry

for God has you in His care.�

You're my life's one miracle
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this 'til you

You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?

The nearest thing to heaven
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love

When you smile at me, I cry
And to save your life I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires
I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more?

There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure
Who could ever love you more?

My Purpose

I have cancer. There isn't an explanation as to why I became sick.
All I know is God has a plan for each of us and for each plan there
is a purpose. Some of us know what our purpose in life is and others
will never find it. Then there are those like me who accomplish if
without ever realizing it.
My journey with cancer will not and has not been without purpose.
It is through my illness that I have helped doctors understand this
disease a little more so they may find a cure.
It is thorugh my illness that I have opened the eyes to those around
me to how precious life really is. Something we all to often take
for granted.

It is though my illness that some of those around me have realized
that life is too short to be afraid of our feelings. My cancer has
been beaten back by the power of love. It is the most powerful of
emotions, one not to be afraid of, but to be embraced. To be loved
by someone unconditionally and completely is to reach into your soul
and feel warmth.

It is thorugh my illness that I have shown there is no guarantee for
the future--only dreams for it. Whether the future is just another
day or another 75 years, we should all dream big and live fully
everyday.

It is through my illness that I have seen the strong cry, only to
find more strength.

It is through my illness that some of us who haven't talked to God
in a while have once again begun to pray.

It is through my illness that I have joined the hands of those
familiar to those of strangers, to form one long chain.
I have already accomplished so much in such a short amount of time
and each day I continue to touch the hearts of many.

That is my purpose.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE!!!!
Well are trip to MPLS. went well happy to be home again after 2 long days there.Terrell did a AWENSOME job!!! all his labs were GREAT!!
NORMAL RANGE
WBC 8.0 (5.0-14.5)
ANC 4.0 (1.3-8.1)
HBG 12.3 (10.5-15.0)
PLATELET 205,000 (150,000-450,000)
ALL LIVER COUNTS NORMAL RANGE !!!
ALL KIDNEY COUNTS NORMAL RANGE!! AND ALL OTHER LABS NORMAL RANGE..I never thought we would ever see normal range labs..So Terrell and all of us are getting a little more normal life (which will never be all the way there ) But we will take it!! Some of the other test for his adneral gland and relf(donor -and any leukima)test won't be back til probley with hoilday til next week.. But these other counts we feel they should be okay!!We also met with a endocolist(SP?) to see how we are doing growing wises well Terell weight 50reat height maybe 5ell I think he takes after mom being short haha!!We took a x-ray of his left wrist that will give us a bone age??weird ha!He differntly will needed growth hormone but not for 2 years yet they have to wait to make sure all the chemco is out of his system and we will meet with them again at are 2 year post transplant and do a bone scan to check his bone for dead bone (from high doses of steriods)..Til then we will cross that bridge...
So speaking of normal life we are busy ,busy both boys are loving school. Emanuel his school they sold candy bars and he was top seller (THANKS UNCLE TONY!!)Where he drives out of he took them there and sold for him..Terrell in Tiger Clubs sold some popcorn and got his prizes tonight at the meeting and we had a first Hoilday parade in Waukon last night perfect night Terrell rode the Boys Club float and really enjoyed it!! Kenny has been busy with farm work and the boys go when the chance is right.
We will have Thanksgiving at home then Friday to Kenny's brother then Saturday to my sister so I hope we get enough turkey and the weather stays nice and we can get are light outside up.Kenny won't put them up til after Thanksgiving which is good so we can enjoy the one holiday at a time but the boys are O'looking forward to seeing Santa on Sunday they have a list we maybe there awhile!!!

Good Evening Everyone!!!!!

Well here we are in the month of November a month that makes me think of so many blessing that has bless are lives.
As each day passes it is truly amazing in how far Terrell has come last year this time we were fighting off shinlges and so blessed they are behind us like so many things he has endored but we are very blessed that Terrell in thru all he when thru never gave up and that is a blessing in it self.And the big blessing is having the communty of prayers pulling us thru.And we are so blessed that each and everyone has come it to are lives sometimes it hard to show how very thankful that we are for all of you.So again THANKYOU!!!!
Well Terrell is doing well tumMy flu gone yah!! to that it was about 3 weeks and finally gone.And since transplant his tools have been loose but with GVH of the gut and all that his system when thru he finally can say we are get noraml stools!! Amen to that it was almost 17 months. I can amage what he will think when he gets older and reads this jouranal Mom did have to go there??
We had pink eye last weekend that all clear and his nose has been running since August and wake up coughing at 2-3 a.m. every night and when I called in for medcine for the pink eye I said I think he also has sinus infection his nose was very green not clear so we got medacine for that and by Tuesday night eyes were better and nose was not running and now we have no cough at night so Amen to that!! And he is eat lots more so i think he is feeling much better.
Halloween when well it was cold but when the wind went down it was not bad. Terrell went as a John Deere Sales man (can not believe he want to be that haha) and Emanuel went as Superman .I got picture so when I get them I'll but them on.
This weekend the weather was great we have the leaves all rake and toys all put away for winter so it can snow now!!
We will be making are trip north to MPLS. on Novemebr 16 and 17th. for 18 months check up WOW!! 18 months post transplant that is hard to believe sometimes but a sure Blessing in it self.We have some other test to see for sure if he has adnerline gland trouble or not this is like a 4 hour test if this is fine we maybe cut another med. But since we have been on this we have been out of the hosptial 7 months!!!So if they are going to drop this I think we will wait til spring.Both boys are doing great in school. Terrell"s teachers are very pleased so far number are the hardes they mean nothing to him but we will get there one bridge at a time.We are so blessed to have 3 wonderful,great teachers working with him they are so good to him like so many of the people in his school and his classmates and him get long great the teacher told us Terrell is a postive influses in his class so that was great to hear so many of the kids want to work with him and they let him in on there football games he just kills me Terrell he will say Mom so and so just don't how to play football? like he is a pro at this game.
Well are life is a boring good normal life alittle bit more as time goes by but we still hold are breathes..
Please say a few extra prayers for Jonathan Diebles he needs lots of healing on his lungs he only 4 yrs. old and on the vent again his web pages is www.caringbridge.org/visitjonathandiebls .
Agian please con't prayers for so many families just beging the jourany or finshing we all love all the extra prayers if it weren't for all of you .Prayers a healing and we can never have to many..
Til next time.........\
Love,
Terrell and family

GOOD MORING EVERYONE!!!!
DAY 362!!

WELL A QUICK UPDATE BEFORE HEADING TO THE HOSPITAL THIS MORING.
TERRELL GOT OFF THE VENT. AFTER BEING ON 4 DAYS THE BLEEDING SEEMS TO STOP WITH GOING DOWN AND SEALING IT.THANK GOD!!
TERRELL ENDED BACK UP ON WEIGHT UP TO 28.5KG FROM ALL THE BLOOD PRODUCTS IT WAS GOOD HE WAS 25.5KG BEFORE ALL OF THIS OR HE WOULD OF BEEN SWIMMING? BUT NOW TODAY HIS WEIGHT IS BACK TO 27.5KG THANK GOODNESS.TERRELL BLOOD PRESSURES ARE ON THE HIGH SIDE NOW 130/100 WITH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINES. THIS ALL DO TO ARE LOVING STERIOD THEY HAVE HIM ON AND SUGAR COUNTS ARE HIGH TO 150-245 NORMAL IS AROUND 90 .THEY HAVE HIM ON THIS THE ONE OF HIS BLOOD TEST FROM HIS YEAR CHECK BLOOD TEST SHOWED HIS THYRIOD WAS NOT WHAT THEY WANT THIS COULD OF COME FROM HIS RADATION HE GOT FROM WHEN HE HAD THE BRAIN TUMOR ALMOST 41/2 YEARS AGO AFFECT OF THAT SO THIS IS HELP WITH THIS.
ALSO ON WED. WITH ARE FEVERS WE DID HAVE A CULTURAL COME BACK A POSTIVE BACTRACAL BUT THEY THINKING MORE NEGATIVE BECAUSE OF THE RAPID DROP IN HIS BLOOD PRESSURE THEN SO AS WE TOLD THE DOCTORS WHY?? IS IT EVERY MONTH TERRELL IS GETTING SICK WITH INFECTION?? SO SOMETIME THIS WEEK THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THE INFECTION CONTROL DOCTORS STOP IN AND GET SOME ANSWERS TO WHY??
IT ALL MAYBE COMING FROM HIS GUT SINCE IT IS SO RED AND THE WALL IS SO THIN.
SO I THINK WE HAVE HAD PRETTY MUCH HAD EVERY KIND OF DOCTOR VISIT .
SO NOW WE PRAY THAT WE CAN STAY OFF THE VENT AND GET THE FEDS GOING AGAIN AND GET HIM BACK ON TRACK IT JUST KEEPS PUTTING HIM BACK TO START AND ALL OVER AGAIN.

WELL BEFORE I FORGET THE TOOTH FAIRY HAS TO COME ON WED. THE ONE OF HIS FRONT TEETH HAD TO COME OUT IT WAS LOOSE SO ITS OUT AND NOW YESTERDAY WHEN HE GOT OFF THE VENT THE 2 BOTTOM ONES ARE VERY LOSE SO IF YOU LOSE ONE HE'LL PROBABLY LOSE THEM ALL AND WITH THE STRIEOD HE'LL WANT TO EAT AND HE'LL HAVE NO TEETH. THIS WILL BE TERRELL.

WELL AGAIN WE THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL PRAYERS AND SUPPORT THRU ALL OF THIS.KEEP THEM COMING.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE!!
DAY 358!!

WELL SO MUCH FOR A GREAT UPDATE LAST NIGHT.
WELL THE PHONE RINGS AT 5:30AM IT'S KENNY TELLING ME TERRELL IS GOING DOWN FOR EMERECY SURGERY. LAST NIGHT HE HAD THROWN UP SOME VERY LARGE CLOTS OF BLOOD BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FIND SO LITTLE AFTER 6:00AM TERRELL WENT DOWN THEN JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO SLEEP HE THROW UP MORE THEY HAD GIVE HIM 2 BAGS OF BLOOD AND PLATLETTS BEFORE HAND.
SO THEY WENT BACK DOWN WITH THE SCOPE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY THINK HIS SMALL LEAK WAS COMING FROM HIS BIOSPY AREA FROM ON FRIDAY IN HIS STOMACH SO THEY PUT SOME STUFF TO SEAL THIS UP. SO HE WAS BACK IN HIS ROOM AOUND 9:00 AM AND YES WE ARE BACK ON THE VENT. FOR NOW TO MUCH SURE HE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE BLEEDING ITS EASISER THIS WAY THEN PUTTING THE TUBE IN MANY TIMES .AND NOW WE HAVE A FEVER 101.7 SO THIS IS CULTURALS ARE DRAWN AND ANTIBODOES ARE RUNNING. NO CULTURES BACK YET. BLOOD PRESSUES ARE DOWN SO ARE MEDCINES TO KEEP THEM UP ARE BACK THIS COULD BE FROM LOOSING BLOOD TO FAST AND ADD IT TO FAST,INFECTION AND THE MEDICINE TO KEEP HIM ASLEEP.BUT TERRELL IS DOING FINE TEMP HAS COME DOWN SOME AND ALSO HE MAY BE ON THE DRY SIDE AGAIN.
SO PRAY THAT THE BLEEDING HAS STOP AND THAT THE BIOSPY DON'T COME BACK GVH OF THE STOMACH BUT WE WILL CROSS THIS BRIDGE WHEN WE GET THERE.
WHEN I TALKED TO TERRELL'S NURSE ALL HE SAID THAT'S TERRELL DON'T PISS AROUND IF HE GOING TO DO SOMETHING IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE NO QUESTION ABOUT THIS SO THE ROLLER COASTER RIDE IS STILL TERRELLL I GUESS THEY DON'T CALL HIM THE ROLLER COASTER BOY FOR NOTHING.
I KNOW GOD IS WATCHING OVER HIM AND HE WILL SEE HIM THRU.I JUST PRAY THAT HE CAN JUST GET OVER THESE BUPS KENNY AND I ARE SO THANKFUL HE WAS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL.
SO PLEASE SAY SOME EXTRA PRAYERS FOR TERELL AND ALL OF US.

LOVE

DAY 352

LIKE THEY SAY LET IT SNOW !!LET IT SNOW!!!

THINKING ABOUT THIS IT WAS A YEAR AGO WHEN WE START TRANSPLANT JOURNARY AND I REMEMBER ALSO THEN WE GOT A PILE OF SNOW UP HERE SOUTH OF MPLS. THEY GOT 24 INCHES OF SNOW SO THIS JUST A THING UP HERE AROUND THIS TIME A YEAR.WELL WHAT A YEAR THIS HAS BROUGHT US MANY BLESSINGS TO BE THANKFULL FOR AND IT NOT THE SNOW AND THAT IS WHAT IT IS DOING IN MPLS. THEY HAVE ABOUT 6 INCHES ALREADY ON THE GROUND AND STILL SNOWING.AFTER SEEING THE WEATHER AT HOME IN IOWA I THOUGHT I BETTER GO BEFORE THE STORM HITS SO I GOT BACK HERE AROUND 10:30 PM LAST NIGHT SO THANKFUL I DID ABOUT 35 MILES SOUTH OF MPLS.CANON FALLS IT WAS STARTING TO SNOW BUT IT WAS THE WORST THE LAST 7 MILES INTO MPLS.BUT MADE IT.

WELL SORRY FOR THE DELAY TERRELL IS DOING GREAT IN TO WHERE HE WAS 2 WEEKS AGO.ON MONDAY HE GOT MOVED DOWN TO 4A THE BMT FLOOR THEY CAN ADJUST LEVEL OF CARE THERE BETTER THEN IN 5C ON 4A THEY CAN GO 1-3 MEANING 1 NURSE TO 3 PATIENTS ETC.HE ON A NOSE CANEL TO HELP WITH BREATHING AT 2 LITLERS OF OXGEN SO NOT MUCH AND ON THE BI-PAP COUPLE HOURS HEAR AND THERE TO HELP OPEN THE LUNGS HE DOESN'T TAKE DEEP ENOUGH BREATHS TO OPEN THE LUNGS THEY SAY HIS LUNGS LOOK GOOD AND SHOULD RECOVER WITHOUT DAMAGE THANK YOU GOD!!
THE KIDNEY FUNCTION NUMBER'S ARE COMING DOWN ON THERE OWN THEY CALL THIS SMART PEEING THANK GOODNESS THOSE KIDNEY GOT THERE REST AND CAN START THERE JOB AGAIN.AND STILL PEEING WELL NOT TO WHERE HE GOING TO PEE HIMSELF DRY AGAIN WEIGHT IS UP FROM 25.5KG.THIS IS LOW FOR HIM TO BACK TO 26.5KG WHICH IS STILL ALITTLE DRY BUT WE ARE GETTING THERE LITTLE BY LITTLE THEY CAN NOT GIVE HIM ALL THIS FLUID AT ONCE IT WILL OG TO THE LUNGS AND WE DON'T NEED THAT IT'S CALLED THE BALACING ACT OF HOW A LITTLE BODY WORKS AND WE HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THIS SO MUCH.

DR.CASS THE DOCTOR THAT PUT THE STENT IN WAS TO SEE TERRELL AND SAID IT HAS TO COME OUT NOW!! HE THINKS MAYBE THIS COULD BE WHERE SOME OF THE TROUBLE COULD BE COMING FROM.TERRELL IS NOT LIKING THE FEEDING TUBE DOWN HIS NOSE SO AS WE ARE SO HOPING AND PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED ON FRIDAY TERRELL WILL BE GETTING HIS STENT OUT AND I THINK ALSO AT THAT TIME THEY WILL BUT THE FEEDING TUBE INTO HIS BELLY.AND HAVE HIS MRI ALSO DONE THIS WILL ALL BE GREAT TO HAVE DONE AND BEHIND US AND IF ALL GOES WELL AND COMES OUT WELL TERRELL SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PUT TO SLEEP FOR A YEAR THIS WOULD BE GREAT.KEEPING ARE FINGERS CROSS FOR NO CENTRAL LINE TO GO BACK IN?
LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE I HAVE THIS FEELING THIS IS TERRELL COMPLETING THE CIRCLE AND WHEN DONE WE ARE HEALTHY AND NEVER SEE ANOTHER HOSPIAL FOR A LONG TIME.I CAN ONLY KEEP PRAYING THIS BUT I HAVE TO STOP AND REMEMBER NOT TO PUSH THINGS TERRELL IS THE ENGINE OF THIS TRAIN AND HE WILL LEAD US TO WHAT WILL BE.WELL I BETTER HEAD TO THE HOSPITAL AND HEAR TERRELL THE FIRST TIME IN 3 WEEKS TO HEAR HIM BE HIS SASSY LITTLE SELF WHICH I CAN NOT WAIT TO HEAR. SO DAD CAN HAVE A BREAK KENNY HAS BEEN WITH TERRELL EVERYDAY SINCE HE WENT IN SO I CAN WORK A FEW DAYS HERE AND THERE AND KENNY'S DOING A GREAT JOB.

THE KIDNEY FUNCTION NUMBERS ARE UP PUT HE IS PEEING OUT ABOUT WHAT HE TAKES IN WHEN THE KIDNEY GET HURT THEY TAKE ALITTLE TIME TO HEAL AND TERRELL'S KIDNEYS WERE HIT PRETTY BAD 2 TIMES IN ALMOST A WEEK ALONG WITH HIS LUNGS.

FOR EMANUEL HE HAD HIS FOLLOW UP ON HIS EARS AND EVERYONE THAT SEEING HIM SAID HE LOOKED MUCH BETTER THEN THE LAST TIME THEY SAW HIM WHICH THEN HE WAS VERY SICK RAG DOLL SICK!!HIS EAR TESTING WHEN VERY WELL HE CAN HEAR JUST FINE!!!

HE HAD FRIDAY OFF FROM DIALYS BUT THEN HAD THEM ON SATURDAY TO JUST FILTER THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER LILTER BUT TERRELL DID NOT HAVE THAT TO GIVE SO THEY JUST FILTED AND BUN AND CREATINE WERE DOWN BUN WAS 27 NORMAL DOWN FROM 77 CREATINE WAS 4.4 DOWN TO 2.2 THEY USUAL ONLY TAKE THEM TO 2 SO HOPEFULLY HE'LL BE DONE WITH DIALYS .WELL WE HAD ANOTHER FEVER SO SOME DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTIBODIES STARTED .AND ARE CENTERAL LINE IS OUT AS OF 10:15 AM THIS MORING YEAH!!!

THE ONLY THING TODAY WAS WELL GUESS THERE ARE 2 THINGS (1) HIS HEART RATE WAS REALLY LOW THIS MORING LIKE AROUND 67 EITHER IN A DEEP SLEEP ALONG WITH THE MEDICINE TO KEEP HIM A SLEEP BUT WAS PRETTY GOOD ALL DAY THEN.(2) THE FEVER THE OTHER DAY (THURS)GROW A CULTURAL WHAT WE DON'T NEED RIGHT NOW IT CAME FROM HIS LINES BUT A BACTIACL INFECTION LIKE WE HAVE HAD BEFORE SO THE VACO. IS STARTED AGAIN.THE DOCTORS HERE AGREE THE LINE MUST GO!!!!! WHEN HOPFULLY SOON RIGHT NOW THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT THIS LINE WAS THE WE COULD DUE DIALYS WITH OUT PUTTING HIM THRU ANY MORE.
WHEN TALKING WITH DR.NELSON(icu)IT COULD BE MAYBE UP TO 2-3 WEEKS TERRELL BEING ON THE VENT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW HIS LUNGS HEAL THEY HAVE IMPROVED BUT HAVE LOTS OF HEALING TO DO.THE KIDNEY ALSO NEED TIME TO HEAL THERE IS SOME PEE BUT NOT MUCH SO THEY ARE BEING LAZY NOW BUT THEY WILL COME THEY GET HEALED.
THE BMT DOCTORS ARE IN EVERYDAY CHECKING ON THE ROLLER COASTER KID (THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL TERRELL)IF HE CAN STAY STABLE THEY MAY DUE HIS ONE YEAR BONE MARROW BIOSPY NEXT WEEK WHILE HE'S ON THE VENT AND IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH MORE TO REALLY BUT HIM UNDER TO DO THIS.ITS HARD TO BELIEVE IT ALMOST A YEAR WHEN THIS JOURANY STARTED 3-29-05 SO WE PRAY THIS WILL ALL BE FINE.WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE HUNDLES RIGHT NOW.
KIDNEY FUNCTION NUMBERS DOWN BUN 47 CREATINE 3.5 STILL HIGH BUT COMING. HEMB.16.0 THIS WAS HIGH WBC 13.1 ANC 9.2 THESE ARE HIGH FOR TERRELL ALL CAN COME FROM INFFECTION AND STRESS TO THE BODY DO THINK TERREL HAS HAD STRESS???

TIL SUNDAY THRU HIS CENTRAL LINE WE HAVE TO ALTER ONE TIME ON THE RED THE NEXT TIME ON BLUE THIS GETS CONFUSING SOMETIMES BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE YOUR TPN RUNNING AND TRY TO GET IT THAT YOUR ON THE RIGHT LINE BUT WE ARE DOING OKAY.

I HAVE TALKED TO DR.BOB ABOUT THE G TUBE TO HIS BELLY FOR FEEDINGS IF THAT'S THE MEAN WORD WITH THIS IF WE ONLY KNOW HE WOOULD NOT HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE FEEDING BEFORE HE HAD ONE THAT WENT DOWN HIS NOSE IT DID NOT WORK BUT THEN WE WERE DEALING WITH GVH AND ALL HIS LINING PEELING AWAY FROM HIS GI TRACK AND THIS ALL TAKES A VERY VERY LOOOONG TIME TO HEAL SO LIKE I SAID IF WE ONLY KNOW BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO PUT HIM THRU ANYTHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP HIM AND HE HAS HAD GOT THRU ENOUGH THE WAY IT IS.BUT IF IT WOULD WORK OUT FOR HIM IT WOULD GET HIS GUT WORKING AGAIN NO CENTRAL LINE WOULD BE NEEDED LESS DOCTOR VISITS AND NO MORE INFECTIONS.SI IF WE ONLY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE WORD IF?

OTHER THEN THAT HE IS FEELING GREAT I THINK WHEN WE WENT IN HE WAS ON THE DRY SIDE AFTER SOME ADDED FLUIDS HE LOOKS AND LOT BETTER THEY INCREASED HIS FLUIDS IN HIS TPN BUT NO ONE KNOW WHO ORDERED THE MORE FLUIDS BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL HURT HIM ANY I THINK IT WILL HELP HIS KIDNEY FUNTION TO MORE NORMAL RANGE.HIS DR.VISTIT ON TUESDAY THE 31 WENT WELL ALL COUNTS ARE GOOD HIS ONLY NUMBER THAT'S UP IS HIS LIVER FUNTION(ALT) BUT THIS IS COULD ALL BE THE INFECTION AND ONE OF HIS MEDICINES FOR DRY SKIN. AND TPN AFTER LONG TIME ON IT CAN CAUSE THIS TO GO UP AND HE ONLY BENN ON TPN 10 MONTHS.HE IS DRINKING MORE APPLE JUICE AND LICKING SOME DIFFERENT FOODS I CAN ONLY KEEP PRAYING THAT HE STARTS TO EAT EAT AND THEN PUT THE TUBE IN.

GOOD EVENING EVERYONE!!
DAY 254!

WELL WHERE DO WE START THIS TONIGHT.TODAY MARKS A YEAR AGO WHEN WE LEARNED THE WORDS "LEUKEMIA"IN TERRELL'S LIFE WHAT
A BLOW THIS WAS I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY.
IT STARTED ON A SUNDAY JUST NOT TERELL ACHEY ALL OVER YOU COULD NOT HARDLY TOUCH HIM THINK YOUR GETTING SICK SO THAT WAS FINE AND DANNY THEN I SAW SOME LIKE LITTLE BROKE BLOOD VESSELS ON HIS TUMMY(LIKE WHEN YOU PINCH YOUR FINGER)
THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT BY TUESDAY THEY HAD GOTTEN MORE AND MORE SO I CALLED THE NURSE ADVISE LINE AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND ALL SHE SAID WITH HIS HISTORY YOU SHOULD BE SEEN RIGHT AWAY BUT I SAID YOU GUYS ARE HOUR DRIVE AWAY SO I TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGERCY ROOM HERE AND THEY THOUGHT MAYBE A STREP RASH WELL I NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE SO THE TEST CAME BACK NEG. VIRUAL RUN ITS COUSRE NOT BETTER BY FRIDAY SEE YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR SO GO HOME GO TO SCHOOL NEXT DAY ALL WAS FINE GOT A CALL AT WORK AT 1:45 TERRELL HAS A LOW GRADE TEMP OKAY PICK HIM UP AT 2:00 AND GOT INTO SEE THE DOCTOR AT 2:45 SHE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE ASK FOR ANOTHER TO LOOK AT HIM AND SAID RUN A CBC CHECK ON HIM SO WE DID NOT LONG THEY WERE BACK AND SAID HIS PLALETTS WERE 16,OOO AND HIS WHITE COUNT WON'T REGISTER ON THERE MACHINE MY MOUTH DROPPED AND SAID WE HAVE NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH ARE PLALETTS AND THE TEARS OF FEAR CAME AND TERELL WAS SO STRONG HE SAID CALL DR.BOB HE TAKE CARE OF ME?

SO THE CALL TO DR.BOB AND WE WERE TO COME TONIGHT AND PLAN ON STAYING TILL WE FIND OUT WHAT WAS GONG ON SO WE HEAD HOME CALLED KENNY TO GET HOME WE HAVE TO GO TO LACROSSE
SO BY TIME WE GOT HOME SOME CLOTHES PACKED AND SOMEONE TO TAKE EMANUEL WE WERE ON THE ROAD TO LACROOSE AROUND 6:00 AND DR.BOB WILL MEET US AT THE HOSPITAL SO WE GET THERE TERRELL IS BUMPING OFF THE WALL SO HAPPY TO BE THERE TO GO TO THE TOY ROOM AND PLAY I WILL NEVER FORGET THE LOOK ON DR.BOB FACE THAT NIGHT AND HIS VIOCE "WELL IF ITS WHAT I THINK IT IS THIS NOT GOOD" THINKING WHAT? WASN'T EVEN THIKING CANCER AT ALL .BECAUSE ALL HIS TEST IN AUG. MRI WHERE ALL GREAT BRAIN WAS STILL IN GREAT REMISSION.SO THEY RAN ANOTHER CBC AND AT 11:00 THAT NIGHT HIS WHITE COUNT CAME BACK AT 595,000 ALMOST 100 TIMES OVER NORMAL SO TERRELL WAS HEADED TO ICU TO REMOVE ALL HIS BLOOD AND GIVE HIM NEW TO BRING DOWN HIS COUNT DR.BOB WAS WITH ALL NIGHT THEY START AROUND 1:00 A.M. AND FINISED AROUND 6:00AM DOING ALL OF THIS BY HAND 20CC AT A TIME. THEN ON THE NEXT DAY THEY DID A SPINAL TAB AND BONE MARROW BIOSPY AND THE NEWS CAME "LEUKEMIA" ALL T CELL 99ASTED IN HIS MARROW WHAT A SHOCK.
TERRELL WAS DOING SO WELL LIFE WAS GREAT FOR HIM SCHOOL WAS COMING HIS BALANCE WAS DOING GREAT HE WAS IN DANCING,BOWLING HAD SWIMMING THAT SUMMER AND HORSE BACK RIDING LIFE WAS GREAT TERRELL WAS LOOKING SUPER!!

I KNOW HE HAS A ANGEL WATCHING OVER HIM BECAUSE I WASN'T TAKING HIM BACK TO THE DOCTOR TIL FRIDAY AND ALL DR.BOB SAID HE WOULD OF NEVER SEEN IT.HE WOOULD OF HAD A MASSIVE STROKE OR HEART ATTACK FROM THE VERY HIGH WHITE COUNT WHEN THIS GOES HIGH IT STARTS SHOOTING OFF CLOTS.
SO ARE JOUARNY STARTED AND THE BEST HOPE FOR HIM WAS TO GO A BONE MAROOW TRANSPLANT WITH THIS BEING CHEMCAILY ON SET FROM HIS OTHER CANCER TREATMENT WHICH HE FACE AT THE AGE OF 22 MONTHS OLD HAD A BRAIN TUMOR AND THE CHECO TO FIGHT THIS ON SET HIS LEUKEMIA OUT OF TREATMENT FOR 28 MONTHS.SO TERRELL HAD HIS BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND WHAT A JOURARY THIS WAS .IF YOU NEVER READ HIS WEB PAGE PLEASE READ HISTORY JOUANAL THRU ALL OF THIS TERRELL NEVER GAVE UP HE HAS BEEN A FIGHTER SINCE THE DAY THIS JOURARY STARTED A YEAR AGO AND WITH ALL THE SUPPORT OF ALL ARE LOCAL CHURCHS AND FRIENDS AND FAMILIES THRU YOUR PRAYERS TERRELL HAS COME A VERY LONG WAYS AND KENNY AND I ARE SO PROUD OF HIM AND SO VERY BLESSED TO HAVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU COME INTO ARE LIFE WE COULD OF NEVER MADE THIS WITHOUT ARE FAITH AND YOUR SUPPORT .NO ONE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW GREATFUL WE ARE .WE HAVE MET GREAT FAMILIES AND WITH ALL THERE SUPPORT AND ALL ARE DOCOTRS IN LACROSSE,WIC.

HELLO EVERYONE!!
DAY 123
WELL TERRELL WAS REALLY TRIED ON FRIDAY BUT DID GET TO THERPY AND AND THE REST OF THE DAY HE SLEPT.
THE RIGHT SIDE OF TERRELL IS ALL BLACK AND BLUE IT IS HUGE IT IS WHOLE RIGHT SIDE THEN ON HIS BACK A LITTLE I SHOULD SAY IT IS PURPLE AND BLACK THEY FIGURE THATS WHERE ALL THE BLOOD POOLED IT IS LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD REALLY HURT BUT HE DON'T LET ON THAT HE HAS ALOT OF PAIN BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A HEART RATE OF 150-160 WHILE SLEEPING YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DISCOMFORT SOME WHERE WE ARE LITTLE SCARED OF THE WHITE COUNT IT HAS DOUBLED SINCE SURGERY YES THIS IS GOOD BUT THE MEDICINE HE IS ON TO FIGHT THE CMV CAN BE HARD ON THE COUNTS AND HE BEEN IN THE 99-99.5 FOR TEMPS SO I THINK WE ARE BREWING ON SOMETHING HOPEFULLY ITS NOTHING? JUST WORRIED PARENTS I US.
WELL TODAY SO FAR WE HAVE THOWN UP ALITTLE OVER A LITTER THIS IS ALOT! WE DID CHEST X-RAY YESTERDAY THIS IS LOOKING GREAT THERE THINKING THAT HE MAY HAVE GRAPH-VS-HOST OF THE G.I. TRACK AGAIN? WOULD KNOW FOR SURE TIL I HOPING MONDAY THEY'LL HAVE TO DO THE SCOPE AGAIN THEY'LL DUE BOTH UPPER AND LOWER TO MAKE SURE OF THIS RULING AND THEN MAYBE PUT THE FEEDING TUBE BACK IN BUT THIS WAS PULLED DO TO THROWING UP OF BLOOD AND SINCE WE HAVE PULLED IT WE HAVEN HAD ANY OF THIS SO THIS IS A BRIDGE WE HAVE TO CROSS DO WE PUT IT BACK AND HAVE THIS AGAIN OR HOPE THAT BRIDGE IS BEHINDS US SO WE CAN GET SOME REALLY NURTION TO ARE STOMACH AND NEED THAT FAT AND PROTIEN TO GROW NEW CELLS WE DON'T GET THE LIPIDS BECAUSE ARE ONE COUNT IS REALLY HIGH WE WERE 900 THEY ARE DOWN TO 469 NORMAL IS IN THE 100 RANGE.SO AS YOU SEE TERRELL ROLLER COASTER RIDE CON'T THE DOCTORS ARE REALLY LIKE WHY IS THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO HIM IF IT ONE THING FIX IT BACK TO ANOTHER .
SO KENY AND I ARE ASKING FOR MORE PRAYERS THAT WE GET HIS TUMMY FEELING BETTER AND PRAYING IT NOT GRAPH-VS-HOST TO TREAT THIS HE WOULD GO BACK ON THE STRERIODS TO HELP WITH THIS AND THIS CAN VERY HARD ON THE COUNTS.
AND FOR EMANUEL HE HAS BEEN BUSY WITH SWIMMIMG AND WHEN SWIMMING HE DON'T LIKE HIS HAIR GETTING WET SO I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DOES THIS AND HIS NEW SAYING IS I HAVE A QUESTION ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? HE IS GROWING UP SO FAST IT IS SCARE TO SAY HE ALMOST TO SMART FOR HIS OWN GOOD BUT LIVE LIFE AS A 4 YR. OLD SHOULD AND AUNT LIZ AND UNCLE TONY ARE ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE OF IT WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR HIM TO BE THERE WE NEVER WORRY ABOUT HIM. THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS TALKING WITH HIM AND TOLD HIM GOOD NIGHT AND THAT I LOVED HIM AND I WAS GOING TO HANG UP AND I DID AND A LITTLE WHILE LATER THE PHONE RINGS ITS EMANUEL AND HE GOES MOM I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU AND GOOD NIGHT AND NOW YOU CAN HANG UP ON ME ! ALL I COULD WAS LAUGH SO HE IS DOING GREAT.
SO FOR TODAY WE ARE GOING TO STAY GUIET AND REST AND HOPEFULLY WHEN THE DOCTORS COME IN THEY'LL HAVE A PLAN.

Good Moring!
Day #64
Well here it is June it does not seem possible that we have been here all the month of April and May wow where is the time going.Well could not update last night they were upgrading the web page.Well last Wed.night we had a big step back due to fever and infection of the blood then by Thursday we were have lots of pain to pee had been peeing blood and passing clots sometimes as big as golf balls this has been about 5weeks this has been going on so why are we having so much trouble now so early Sunday moring this was very early but a cather in to help but so much presured peed it out so when bigger and still no comfort so on Saturday they pulled it out there was so much pressure that pee just flew he seem aliitle more at ease.But then on Monday they but a even bigger one in and he was pushing so hard that he was passing raisen size clots thru the cather and beside that was pushing them out so this one was not sealed so had to pull and ended up putting a size 14 cartherin this is working okay.They go in and flush this to help break the clot up to help pass them on Tuesday went down to see how big the clot is they thought it was as big as a small lemon as big as round and thick so that why he can not passit so the Reno Doctors will be in today the kidney test they did showed they are not at there full work this does not surpise me .And we had a chest X-ray since we have a little more fluid on board and much sure the blood infection did not go to the lungs so with all this are P.T. and all other therpy is on hold til feeling better.And for all those drugs that took us 3 weeks to get off well we had to go back on to help eith the pain. Now yesterday they found some other pain med. that may help so we were able turn off that other drugs that cause some pretty bad drug withdraw THANK God for this!But thru all this bad news they poped there head in and said his CMV was 0 YEAH on this other bump healed so on to the next. No report back yet on the Bone Marrow Test yet I would think we should hear soon.The weather here over the last couple of days have been great.So please keep the prayers coming for Terrell and all the BMT kids. Love Terrell and family.

Maybe I shouldn't of started out good moring because about 1:00 a.m. things were not good lots of belly pain and lots of loose stools and are blood pressure dropped to 77/39 way low and are temp. was 101.6 this is the first fever we have had in about 6 weeks when we were on the ventorlater so that was a long time ago and still up there yet has not gone under 101.0 and for the CMV it is of the blood and for his WCB was 2200 yesterday down to 800 this moring Hemogobin was 10 and now under 8 so as you see we took a hit way down so we will be getting blood and platelet today so I think we will be quiet today and rest. They think it maybe infection of the blood there are doing test to rules this one way or the other but pretty sure with all his count taking a hit like they did so as you would read the joural history there is something news that happens every week since we have had all are organs checked out well I guess it might as well be the blood what more can it be if its not one thing it is another so Terrell need lots of prayers to get are counts back and fever down he has been so brave thru all this. The sun is out today so this will make the day alot better then rainy and gray out.So thankyou for all the support and prayers thru all of this we could not of done any of this with out it.So if you check in with us leave us a message we love to hear from all of you we will down load all this joural for Terrell to see how many people was praying for himit will be nice to look back on So all of you have a good day and we will update soon as we know anything.Love Terrell and family.

Hi Everyone!
DAY 55
Terrell had a great day! We had P.T. today and we walked hanging on to railing he did this 2 times and not one wine or cry out of him he worked really hard and he know he did a great job by the smile on his face then he stooded for about 5 minutes three times . Then he had speech right when we got done and he had 5 sips of milk did pretty good he said he wanted water tomorrow so that the plan for that. And after all that hard work we went outside yes OUTSIDE first time in 63 days he has been outside he was pretty overwhelmed but loved it the weather was perfect to be out then came back in and took a good nap. On Tuesday we get to go upstairs to go to shcool this will be nice more thing to do there then in the room and we also have are 60 Day Bone Marrow Test done to see where we are at on this remember Day 21 we were 20% all donor so lets pray this is 100% would be great but anything above 20% will be good meaning the donor is still taking over so we need lots of prayers on this we won't know I think it is a week .And one more prayer that they don't move us upstairs when we move it's out of here and we have soooo! much to move if you can image how much we have brought in since we have come or maybe we will protested and then they will kick out to the Ron McDonald House . But this would be to soon for this maybe in a couple weeks but not now.So keep the prayers coming . Love Trrell and family.

Yesterday I had to classes on tube feeding and TPN this a supplement of vitiams that go thru his central line so more learning I think when we are all done should have my nursing down but won't have the cerficate these classes went good. But while I was away I had the nurse put Terrell in his chair so when P.T. came he had to work to go back to bed he did wonderful he walked yes thats right he WALKED about 10 feet with alot of help but moved his own legs WOW!! what shock to read this on are board when I came back and he knew he did good he was smiling.The speech is really coming back today he got to leave his room to go down stairs to O.T. and later down for P.T. this the first he has been out of his room to due something other then test when we went for P.T. he asked me to stay and watch him walk he wasn't able to due much but did a great job standing and kicking the ball and want to try again so he is really working hard. He is sleeping right now .So we've had a busy day he really enjoyed getting out he loked so proud in his chair and of course are John Deere cap on .We are going to work on some crafts tonight so you know what this will be ? So please keep the prayers coming and all that support.Love Terrell and Jan.

Well it's still rainy and gray here in MPLS. We did get are windows painted yes we did due tractors and we did a rainbow and a happy face sun this really brighten up his room. Well for the GI track has improve some by his stools out 1 day he had like 2 lilters out and yesterday we had half that amount out this is good that the medince is helping. Then yesterday they come in and said he has CMV [it the class of the common cold and chicken poxes family]NO WE DUE NOT HAVE CHICKENPOX! we all carry this but when you have low counts it can be bad but his # was 12 which we are ahead of it so they change antibodies to clear this up this can take up to 6-8 weeks the # can go up before coming down so looks like another bridge to cross. But they are still fix able so we pray that we clear this up and back to 0! His white count is doing great! The mouth sores are pretty much all healed yaya! to this and tring to talk alot more his speech and O.T. and P.T. is still working hard knows what he has to due to get better. .To all Terrell's classmates at school he sure misses you all and we been working on some pictures so we hope get them there before school ends so you can enjoy. So please keep the prayers coming and we ask for extra prayers for some are BMT family like Luke Kaiser 18 and Roman 2 really need some prayers .Thankyou Love Terrell and family.

GOOD MORING EVERYONE!!
Terrell had a GREAT night the first night with 9 hrs. straight of sleep on his own I was a little worried about the night with having his last of his pain medicine turned off at noon on Friday this took 3 weeks to wean him off all this he sleep soooo good he was as quiet as a mouse. We had are scope done on the bottom end only to see if he has graph vs host of the gastral lining we may know today if this is the doctor that did it saw some abnorilty there but did not know what? The mouth sore are not any better they did a culture of this to make sure its not a virual ? And so with the sores this slows his talking down because the vocal cords need to heal so hopfully the sores go away soon He is getting stronger and stronger this is nice to see we have along way to go but in time we will get there.His counts are up and down but still doing good for the healing part .So please keep the prayers coming and for all the other BMT families some of are families get to go home to there own home this is great but sure will miss seeing them at the Ron McDonald House but there are always new family to meet .So all of you have a great day and weekend and we will check in again .

HI EVERYONE
Well today it is gray and rainy here in MPLS. they say north of here is getting snow. For Terrell day he had a rough night but the day he has done very well for stood again today for P.T. and sat in his chair for a hour coloring and playing on his computer and all this with his right hand he really had to work at it but did great.He gets platletts sometime 2 times a day to keep at 75,000 this helps with the bloody noses and the blood in are urine which we have for 3 weeks now this due to the chemo and effected his bladder so this will take time to heal on Friday we are going down for the scope to see what his insides look like to see if we have graph vs host of the gastural lining they will due both upper and lower ends and take samples for testing to rule this. And this will see how sore he really is so we hope and prayer that we don't have this but will have to just cross that bridge when we get there. His talking is coming little by little. For Emanuel he just enjoying life and never shouts up Aunt Liz thinks she may use duct tape everthing is WHY? So we ask for those con't. prayers and please keep all the other BMT families also in prayer. I met a mom at shopping the other night and her little girl of 2 1/2 yrs.old Rosie they been here for 1 year and from S.Africa and about dropped my mouth and has long ways to go so please prayer for Rosie.Thankyou and Love Terrell and family.

Hi Everyone
Terrell's day was pretty good no report on the bone marrow sample taken yesterday 4-19-05. White count down to 1900 with the left lung has alittle stuff on but not sure what it is with low grade temps it may be a little infection or what right now don't know. Yes we had dialysis today but should be the last of this. Thinking of taking off the ventorlater on thursday 4-21-05 Depending it goes tonight when they due the breathing pressure test this is when they turn the ventorlater off and see how he breaths on his own then due blood gases test too see how it is if this all goes well then good chance he will get off. Again this all depends on Terrell if he is ready . Again he is doing good Keep all those extra prayers coming they are all helpfull. Love Terrell and family.
P.S. some of you have wondered about are other little man Emanuel well he is doing great he been staying with Aunt Liz and Uncle Tony and they are enjoying every minute of it so he has been busy with going to school and helping Liz with yard work and yes Uncle Tony got him hooked on trucking so everywhwere he goes Emanuel is right there enjoying every minute with him or they are 4 wheeling so as you see Emanuel is doing fine but he does miss mom and dad and of course Terrell but thanks for asking because we all miss him to we try to talk for sure once a day.

Hi Everyone!
Terrell's at Day 20 on Thursday 4-14-05 we had to put a bigger central line in for if we had to due Dialaysis because the kidneys just were not pulling the urine and waste out but now on Friday 4-15-05 WOW! are prayers were answered with pee the pee out put that day was great but labs showed all the waste was not going with it so on Saturday 4-16-05 we did Dialaysis they took off 2-3kg of fluid then on Sunday they took another 1/2kg which equals to about 9-10lbs of fluid. With all this fluids off we are able to turn the ventorlater down which we have been on now 14 days.All his vital signs are GREAT! we have a white count of 3100. He's been awake a little more not talking yet just great to see him awake and moving around. Can not wait to hear him laugh again. He's been a little trooper thru all of this. Again thankyou for all your continued thoughts and prayers for Terrell's recovery. I wish there was away to let you know how much this means to all of us. Please do not stop.
love Terrell and Jan

We are doing well here! Terrell's transplant is now tentatively set for March 29th. We were hoping to come home this morning for the weekend but with the weather we are unsure now!

Thursday, March 3, 2005 3:01 PM CST

Our tentative schedule is:
March 14th we go to Fairview University Medical Center in Minneapolis for testing for several days 6 hours each day. To make sure Terrell is ready for the transplant.

March 22nd we hope to start chemo & radiation to prepare for the bone marrow transplant on Good Friday or Easter Saturday.

We will be staying at �
