Good Morning! Just wanted everyone to know that Robert is doing good. He still does not have an appetite, hopefully that will come back before he has to start chemo. They will be going to Hays to get a CT Scan done this week. They will also be getting his blood checked to see what his white blood count is doing it has to be below 11 before they can start chemo. I will let you know the date and times of his appointments as soon as I know them.

I just wanted everyone to know that they are having a blood drive in Scott City on Oct. 23 from 8am -2pm at the William Carpenter Building. You can call for an appointment or walk-in. 1-800-448-3543.

"A Cancer patient can use between 10 and 20 units of blood and 10-50 units of blood platelets for treatment. Help ensure cancer and leukemia patients have the blood they need to fight this horrible disease."
As everyone knows Robert has already received blood once, if you can please give blood it does help save a life. If you don't live in this area check with your local Red Cross to find out where to give.
Thanks to everyone for all that you do!
Jill

Jill, thanks for letting us know how Robert's doing. I bet he is enjoying being home. Hope all goes good for him when he does start Chemo. The blood bank is a good thing. We are still praying for his good health and hope he can continue to enjoy being home and looking over the farming and his wind towers. That must be exciting watching those towers go up. So glad he got to be home in time to see them go up. Tell everyone hello from Bill and I. Love Aunt Sandy
