Good evening...
It is Momma! Daddy-O and bro Joe. Kenzie is upstairs fine tuning her iPhone skills. We will spare all the details of cell phone drama over the weekend...
We have no exciting news to report for Emily.. Which is good. She has the usual related mouth soreness to the therapy drugs, not a whole lot of appetite but enjoys being home. Joe said that she is happy to be with all of her friends from SLU but it certainly wears her out. We are thrilled that friends from Dayton, Michigan State, St. Bonaventure, Ohio State, Miami of Ohio, John Carroll, Columbia and Harvard have made time to see her.... It has filled the "good" days with more good. We do not overlook her limitations though and she has been great about managing her time.
We hope that we have a super Tuesday and she will be ready for another visit for therapy on Wednesday. We have come to appreciate the opportunity for CHEMO therapy... The more we keep Emily on schedule, the better...the sooner this nightmare is over.
It is certainly worthwhile to mention our good thoughts are with the St. Louis University Billikens in the NCAA dance. The administration, friends and athletic department there have been so wonderfully kind to Emily and all of us. The Saintsations have been mentioned in previous blogs, but special shout out to them..... Oh how we all wish Emily could cheer on the baseline this weekend on Columbus, Ohio.
Emmy is beautiful bald and her smile continues for these days.... Stay with us in spirit on this journey. You are all lifting us up and we thank you.
Momma!

Hello Brave, Beautiful Girl. We've never met but my daughter is one of your KD sisters and introduced me to your blog. I've been captivated by your courage and your heart as you and your family fight this unexpected battle. I want you to know that I'm sending all my prayers, wishes and kind thoughts to Teamevans. I'm sure it's tough going sometimes but keep your thoughts toward the brighter days ahead. Your friends and KD sisters at SLU miss you so much. I hope you can feel the enormous amount of love pouring out of each of them for you, and from all of us who you've allowed to share this journey.

ReplyDeleteHi Emily and TeamEvans :)
ReplyDeleteWe've never met, but I am also from the Cleveland area and a freshman in college! I recently found out that a family member of mine might have cancer, and as I was struggling to wrap my head around the situation, I came across your blog. I was instantly captivated and moved by your story. It's terrible to see bad things happen to good people and it's hard to understand why these things happen. I believe that God has a reason for everything, and all the pain and challenges are part of a bigger plan. Your positive and determined outlook is so inspiring. I can tell that you will fight this and come out stronger than ever. I truly admire you for your attitude and courage and I am hoping for the best for you and your family. I will for sure be thinking about you and praying for you!!
