I'm happy to announce that Kerry Magana is doing great. My good friend from the Guadalupe Center, Christina Jasso, gave me the news today. I was scared to call because I wasn't really wanting to deal with bad news if there was any. A weak position to take but I avoided all calls from the hospital this weekend. So if you called and I didn't answer SORRY!
Tammie's 20 Year Class Reunion is this weekend. I haven't decided whether I'm going or not. It sounds fun but I'm not sure if I'm up to it. I'm wanting to go in a way because my reunion was tough with Kay in the hospital but then I remember it was painfully boring for me. Not the people but the whole "so what do you do now?" I do like that this one is at a bar instead of the reception hall ours was held in. I can camp out at the bar if I get socially detached! Who knows. Have a great week and love the one your with.

Please include Kerry...
I want to ask everyone to pray for Kerry Magana. Kerry is having a difficult time right now and can use prayer. Her fight is tough right now and we need her to get through the next couple of days and a helping hand from God would and will be nice.
I have been keeping my distance from the hospital because it is emotional for me. We spent so much time there last year fighting major sickness that I hate to see hurting. We were there yesterday for Kaylee's treatments and I couldn't make my way up to see Kerry. I have to do my part for her outside the hospital. I work better outside the institution than inside.
Kaylee is feeling sore from her spinal tap. Her little back is hurting from the procedure. Her taste buds are wacky from the chemo she has to take. Kaylee does chemo everyday at home but travels to the hospital to get an ugly dose of something called methatrexate once a month. Kaylee never complains.
We were talking earlier about Kerry Magana. When we started our fight at CMH Kerry was a patient that we looked at as a kid on the fast track to recovery. To see her now makes you realize that this disease is totally unpredictable. I hope she doesn't suffer with this sickness to much longer. I want the health she deserves to return. I want her bone marrow transplant to be successful and I'd like to see her back to school.
If you want to help a beautiful kid, a kid who could be yours or mine, say a quick little prayer for her. When we were down and anyone asked if there was something I needed, I quickly responded that a prayer would be nice. So tonight I ask you to do the same for my friend Kerry Magana.

Checking In...
Hello there. It feels like an eternity since I last wrote anything. We are doing fine and Kaylee is feeling really good these days. I just wanted to fill you in on our progress. I have been busy with my business and trying to do good things.
Kerry Magana received her bone marrow transplant last week. I have been trying to help as much as I can. I am including the latest story in the KC Hispanic News.
Everyone has been so good to the family and everyone was helpful to me. We still haven't received word back about Grandma but we are waiting. I feel we will get her here. Well I have to go before I start drifting off. If anyone would like to help this family in any way please let me know. I think any assistance is helpful. Kerry is going to be in the hospital for weeks and her mother is not working much.
