I don't get it.....

Posted Friday, November 13, 2009, at 9:30 AM

Hey everyone!

I hope you had an enjoyable week. I talked to my mom last night on the phone. Earlier this week she was taken by ambulance to the hospital because the chemo treatments really took a toll on her. She was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow transplant about eight years ago and ever since has been kind of a guinea pig going through all these treatments and heavy drugs.

If she doesn't take the heavy drugs the disease progresses (we can not let it win!!!) but if she takes them she goes through some awful side effects! She is supposed to see a cardiologist being on these drugs for too long and they can affect her heart. :( I just want her to get better - for her body to be rid of this awful disease.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!! This morning already has been a little rough.... been trying to stay strong and not cry.

Hey- I grew up in Northcentral Iowa. I attended Iowa State University where I received a B.A. Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and had an emphasis on Child and Family Studies. I moved to Storm Lake in 2008 to work for the Pilot-Tribune, after working for a daily paper in Nebraska. When I'm not busy typing like a mad woman, peering from behind a camera lens or interviewing all sorts of new and exciting people, you can probably find me rollerblading/biking the paved paths of Storm Lake, strumming out a few notes on my guitar, walking numerous dogs all at once in Newell. I am also a member of Faith Bible, a member of the Shayla Bee family, the SL Kiwanis and a longtime member of the Twizzlers Annonymous Support group. Wink Wink.
