Just an update on the Cancer Walk that my family is participating in on Saturday:
We have a team goal of $2,000 and so far have raised $1,400!
Although the donation widget to the right says, for some reason, that we have raised $0 we are doing really great. My family all bought matching pink (YES I SAID PINK) shirts for the walk, even the little girls have pink onesies. If you feel like taking a possible rain drenched walk with us on Saturday we would love to have you. My mom got a pin for everyone who comes with us on the walk. You can reply to this post asking for more information if you want!
And mom is doing well. We have an appointment tomorrow with her transplant team to find out if there is any reason she can not have the transplant. (It is a bone marrow transplant if you are new to the blog!) She starts blood building shots on Friday if it is all a GO and Monday will have her central line installed. Then it is a waiting game. Hopefully she will produce enough stem cells quickly and get in the hospital quick, but it could take up to 3 weeks for her to produce enough stem cells. Basically she gets a call one day that says "We are ready, come in tomorrow." We found out a few interesting things this week: she cannot have fresh flowers in her hospital room because of mold possibilities and she basically can not clean the house for 6 months after she gets out; it is a drastic way to get out of house work if you ask me!

Hope the walk goes well tomorrow and that your mom is able to start treatment ASAP! Sorry I can't help out with the walk, but I'll be thinking about you and your family. Love you Steph!
