Day +230
As hard as we tried to keep the house clean and the kids separated, Sam started showing symptoms of a cold this morning. He is still playful and smiling, though he is sneezing often and has clear drainage from his nose. Will came down with the bug on Saturday and so he and Casey have been upstairs on the 'sick floor' since then. Casey and Will are both feeling good so now we just need to nurse Sam back to health.
I am awaiting a call from Dr. Quinones, but it sounds like the only thing we might do is have Sam swabbed for a respiratory viral panel. We leave for Denver early on Friday morning, and they will get a good look at him then. Grandma Terry and Grandpa Bill will be traveling with us, and we still hope to turn in a fun weekend--sickies and all. We plan to leave Albuquerque around 5:00am, arrive in Denver for Sam's 1:00pm clinic visit and then check in at the Inverness Hotel. Saturday is race day (and hopefully other fun things to do) and Sunday we were going to enjoy a nice breakfast and then head back home.
It is the 20th anniversary of the Kids Cure 5k for Brent's Place and it should be a large gathering of supporters, past patients and their families, present patients and their families and medical staff from Children's Hospital and other surrounding hospitals. Will and I are supposed to be interviewed at the race--questions like how long were we at Brent's Place, what difference Brent's Place made in Sam's recovery and for our family--etc.
Cut and Paste the following link for more information regarding the race:

Again, thank you to all who have donated to help this awesome Foundation--you are making a difference for many families.
We truly appreciate your continued prayers for our family, and for following our journey. Please pray for continued protection from GVHD, from protection from infection, and for healing for Will, Casey and Sam from this illness.
Thank You--
Kelly
