I am creating this as I am getting many messages, texts, etc on how people can help or what they can do for Kerri. Cards, Prayers, texts, calls are all very appreciated and welcome. I've had others want to help monetarily, so I've set up the Give a Hand account. She has completed her surgery and starts chemo Monday, the 15th. 6 Sessions, 3 weeks apart and just found out the deductible for each session is ~700.00. This is only for the chemo infusion and doesn't include copays for appts and other procedures needed. Compounded on this is the fact she had “retired ” from the Government in June but they have not paid out any pensions as of yet. Again, if you feel so desired to donate, THANK YOU but all of your thoughts prayers and cards are most welcome and appreciated.

3rd chemo infusion
Hello! Today was the day scheduled for my 3rd infusion. My levels from my bloodwork were low so they needed to do another draw before they would do the chemo. The nurse could not get blood from my port, so she attempted to get it from my arm. No luck there, so back to the port. She was able to pull a little bit, but not as much as she wanted. The good news is it was enough and my levels increased enough to have the infusion. I received the new anti-nausea medication, and I tolerated it well. Everything else went as planned, and I even took an hour nap. I would have slept longer, but they brought in a Golden Retriever, Stanley, to see everyone. He was beautiful and a very good boy. The next couple of days should be good, and then the uncomfortable leg pain will start. Currently, I'm having a hard time walking up steps. My legs feel very weak and heavy. It seems like climbing a mountain! Randy made me a nice walking stick to help with the stairs, so we will see how this progresses. Thank you all for everything you have done! I will keep you posted. HUGS!!
