Celebrate everyone!
Bridget finished her last chemo this past Tuesday. She had a couple days of upset stomach but handled it like a pro. She is done!
She sees the doc again on August 11 for a check and then will see him every three months after that. Probably will have a CT scan in 6 months to see how things are going and check to make sure no re-occurances.
We have appealed SSI, have not heard anything as yet. So maybe they are redeliberating. Pray, keep your fingers crossed,, whatever works- that they say yes this time. THAT would be a huge miracle.
I will keep this blog updated from time to time but not every two weeks as I have done- when you work all day on the computer- the LAST thing you want to do is come home and jump on again.--- or at least its the LAST thing I want to do.
So, until next time---- thank you thank you thank you!!!
We so appreciate the support.

Two
We are down to one more treatment!!!
Bridget had treatment on the 30th, did well, except during the "red" chemo. Apparently the last few times, she has a funny taste when she receives the "red" chemo. I can't remember the name of the "red'" drug. Anyhoo, she had one urp session, but did fine the rest of the chemo.
Her labs continue good. Hemoglobin is at 13. something, her potassium is fine and her WBC is ok too. So she continues to respond to the chemo. After her sessions are done, then she will have to see the doc every three months for the next two years. If she does not relapse in 5 years, she is considered cured- so continued prayers for the next 5 years would be greatly appreciated, as they have all along.
She received her WBC booster shot the next day, and again had lots of bone pain, but the upside is.... this was her last WBC shot. So no more bone pain.
I have set up a donation account for Bridget at US bank. It is under her name and can be accessed at any US bank in any city. Just tell them you are looking for a donation account for Bridget Sullivan, should you want to donate.
I heard and saw NOTHING in response to the editorial I sent in to the Montana Standard. I sent it in to let others know that there is a donation account set up. I have seen other small notices in the Standard for other people that have a serious illness, notifying that donation accounts are set up, but nothing in the two attempts to contact the Mt Standard. I will be calling them today (I think they are closed tho?) or Monday and asking why.
I am also going to be printing up flyers and posting them at businesses around Butte.
We appealed SSI to reconsider Bridgets condition, have not heard a thing yet, but it has only been a few days.
So, we are down to the last chemo, set for 7-14-09. I won't be blogging as much after that last one, but probably will continue to blog at least every few months.
Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done, your prayers, love and support are most appreciated.
