Last Chemo for Grandma! & Kroegers' Park City Adventure

Well... Mom is hanging tough after her "last chemo round" before the stem cell transplant.  She is borderline neutropenic and the labs she took today will tell us if she has to be admitted for recovery as she has always done in the past.  Please pray for continued strength and peace.  My mother is the strongest woman I know!  Praise the Lord, He gave her the strength to endure this whole process!  They have a meeting with the stem cell transplant team in a couple weeks to determine her next steps.  It is possible that since the donor (our Uncle Rick) is local, they may be able to do this process in Seattle as opposed to traveling to NIH in D.C.  Please continue to pray for healing and strength for mom and guidance for the various teams of doctors as they provide the best care they know how.

We Kroeger's have adjusted to a new schedule this week.  I've gone back to work despite the state of affairs in our living quarters. :/  Some boxes have managed to unpack themselves... or rather the little elves are at work all around. ;)  Some tears were shed on my Monday morning commute (which was only 20 min!) after I kissed my lil bug & crew goodbye, but I was greeted with a welcome back poster board and freshly cut hydrangeas and lilies (a fav).  I received big hugs from sweet patients I've missed dearly and have managed to make my new normal, normal again.  Aunt Katie is watching the crew along this her 2 kiddos.  She lovingly sent photos and videos on the kiddos to me all day!  Prayers for Trav would be appreciated as he has had some negative neurological symptoms in his foot from a nasty infection from cut a few weeks ago.  He finished the 10 day intensive antibiotics, but it doesn't seem to have been enough.  We pray it does not become more serious.  He will likely have blood studies early next week if things don't improve.  However, he is currently dubsmashing like a boss... so it can't be that bad. ;)  Much love to all you friends and family for your prayers.

Enjoy this week's video that we finally finished from our adventures in Park City from a few weeks past!
