A message from me - Krissy

Please read the latest entry in my journal (Sometimes I Think) to find out what is going on with John.  I am just home for a few hours and will be back at the local hospital with John early Sunday morning.  I am asking you to please keep up prayers for him.  Thank you so much.  Here is the link to the entry so you know what is going on:

Prayer Letter

Hello friends of John & Krissy.  This is Penny (Firestormkids04).  I posted an entry tonight in my personal journal asking for prayer and wanted to leave the link for you:  Prayers Needed  <click::  There is also some information about what is happening.  Blessings to you all, Penny

From Krissy

I'm a little scared.  John has a fever of 102.6.  And he has almost no immune system.  His ANC is 0.4.  That is just about 0.  Which means, well, he needs antibiotics before he, uhm, like, dies.  So I am only on here to ask you to pray.  We are heading to the hospital right now.  We're going local, and if the treatment there isn't enough for him, then he'll be transferred to Hershey Medical Center.  If it is enough locally, then he will be treated and released to home.  We will see what happens.

So please pray.  I will come back as soon as I can to update.  

Love you all, 

Krissy

It's Tammy. Everyone can now write in this journal. You don't have to send it to me anymore! So please drop in and give her your thoughts and prayers. You may put in graphics or whatever you want. So, let's give them what we did before when John was sick. Ourselves. Thanks friends!

Hi, it's Krissy :)

Hi, it's Krissy here!  I'm trying the new feature on AOL journals.  It's called Shared Journals.  This journal has now become a Shared Journal (because Tammy made it that way!).  If Tammy has invited you, you can now write entries in this Gazette!  You don't have to email your entries to her anymore and have her post them.  Just simply click on the add entry button yourself, just like you would do in your own journal, and write and post an entry!  Remember, you can post what you want in the Gazette - words of encouragement, poems, graphics, songs, entries, anything.  John and I have ALWAYS appreciated anything you have said to us.  And now we can more easily communicate with YOU.

I wanted to say that I love you all SO much.  Through the whole ordeal that we went through, you all have been here for us.  I want to share something with you quickly.  I am in a group and was asked the question today of What was the nicest thing someone has ever done for you online?  I wrote in the email that the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me was not, an anyone, but a whole group of people.  Jlanders.  I said that they had done three things:  Number one:  sent things to John and me before we went to Hershey, and continued while we were there.  Number two:  set up and continued The Gazette, and Number three:  hosted blood drives and gave blood in droves in the name of John.  The group that I told this to was dumbfounded at you all's kindness.  As I think about all you have done, and continue to do, I am in tears.

Finally, I want to tell you how John is doing.  He is doing a lot better.  He has been neutropenic for a month though (almost no immune system).  For some reason he has not caught anything (I think it is the Lord).  He is just not getting real sick.  He does wear his mask everywhere.  And he gets tired.  But he is doing okay.  The other thing is his kidney dysfunction problems.  He has 25 - 30 % kidney function.  If it drops to 20% he will probably have to have dialysis and/or a kidney transplant.  Dialysis in the past made him very sick.

Other than that he is doing great.  He is still in remission from the two cancers.  It's unbelievable.  We rejoice daily.  We have as much fun as we can every day!  We are looking forward to the holidays and having lots of fun.  We are going to have friends over on Thanksgiving, which should be a blast!

Okay, gotta run.

We love you all,

Krissy :)
