Good Morning

Top 'o the Moenin' to ye!

I'll be saying a prayer for Kevin's big surgery today.

Good Morning, Everyone!

Best Wishes to you, Kevin, and to your donor for full, speedy recoveries!

Good morning! We wish you the best, Kevin. We'll be thinking about you and your family, as well as the donor and family.

I hope the surgery goes well for Kevin and the donor. I'll say a prayer for all.

Good Morning!

I'm keeping Kevin and family and donor in my thoughts, holding them in my heart, and remembering them in my prayers.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN WISHING A GREAT BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AUNT NORMA AITTAMA TODAY! 83 YEARS YOUNG, BORN IN CALUMET, NOW LIVING IN LIVONIA. HAVE A GREAT DAY AUNT, LIVE IT U.P.

Happy 83rd Birthday, Aunt Norma Aittama! I hope you have a wonderful day, and many more to come!

A day late and a dollar short on annivesary wishes for Cap'n Paul and Dr Nat. I hope you did something fun. The radio this morning said that Houston has the lowest gas prices in the nation at $2.85 per gallon.

Also, my thoughts and prayers are with Kevin and his family, the donor and the doctors.

Thanks all for the good wishes and prayers for Kevin. He is being admitted at Karmanos today, with preparations being done today and tomorrow for Kevin to receive the chemo treatments, which will begin on Thursday and continue until Monday, the 21st. Then he has a day off any treatments and the actual transplant will take place on Wednesday, the 23rd. The Dr. has told them that the most critical day for Kevin will be transplant day, minus 3, which means Sunday, May 20th, since the chemo will have destroyed his immunities and he will be very vulnerable to everything. Again, my family and I thank you for your continued prayers for Kevin and his 26 year old, male donor, during this time.

Bobbysgirl - thanks for yesterday's update and good luck! No llama babies this year we are all veggin'!

Kevin and his donor will be in my thoughts over the next several days.

Kevin has all my prayers and best wishes. I went through something like what he is going through (using my own bone marrow) six years ago, and while it was an awful experience, I made it and I am so far cancer free. Kevin is young and strong and I'm sure he will, too.

Mary...Kevin and your entire family have my sincere thoughts and wishes for Kevin's treatments and the transplant! Believe in the Power of Prayer!

Llamamama....when this foal arrives, we will be veggin' as well! :)

Best wishes and prayers go out for Kevin and his donor.

Best Wishes for Kevin, praying he gets well soon.

Kevin - best wishes from Scott, Jerry, and Paul

Kevin: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your donor. Lots of prayers for Sunday and I will burn a candle in front of the Sacred Heart at church for the successful transplant on Wednesday. God bless you and your mom and dad and family.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Geshel

Thanks Cindy; I took the day off from work and we had fun day in the Natural History museum seeing the "Imperial Rome" exhibit they have on display, then we had a fine Italian dinner. In the mean time, we are having record high temps AND our AC went out in our house. I miss the days of driving to Calumet Waterworks and cooling off by the big lake.

Even though our gas here is pretty cheap (relatively), Columbia, SC has us beat; they are at $2.82. It's getting to the point of having to give up an arm, leg, and as of yet first born. But, it wont stop the Dr. and I from returning home in July for 2 weeks.......

My best wishes! I will keep Kevin and his donor in my prayers for the next week or so. I pray for the return of good health for them.

Instead of an arm or a leg, if only we could give up a pound of flesh for a gallon of gas...we would be a slimmer, trimmer nation in no time at all.

Capt Paul...is the "Imperial Rome" exhibit a permanent or moving one? Just spent a week in Rome, including a day in Pompeii......fabulous. I'm anxious to learn more of the history I had forgotten.

Best wishes for Kevin and his donor, also a speedy recovery.
