Last Wednesday, Papa's sister Kathy DeGroot came down from Roseburg as the newest team member to help out. Papa took her around Riverside, showing her where the kids school is and where the sports fields are located. Papa spend the night with Nonnie on Thursday night and went home for the weekend games on Friday. Kathy stayed at UCLA with Nonnie until Sunday afternoon and they spent a lot of time praying and reading the Bible.
There is no new information to report at the hospital, except for the normal "waiting for the counts" routine. The counts continue to fluctuate, but it sounds like her hemoglobin is higher and has maintained over the last day without any blood. Last week, Nonnie had a flood of new platelet donors including Derek, Tammy and Shane McGowan, Aunt Carol and I by Thursday. Jennifer and my step mom Linda were due over the weekend and early this week. I have not got the update on the effectiveness of those platelets yet.
Sports update: Sydnee and I went to an All Star tournament for softball in Oceanside this weekend and her team took second place! Kylie had a softball game in which she plays catcher. She caught a pitch and the batter swung late and hit her gloved hand. Papa took her to the emergency room and it looks like she broke her left hand. Follow-up this week. Blaine played soccer and his team won with the help of the goal he shot. Dustin's baseball team won their game yesterday to stay in the playoffs. Today, Dustin had a practice for another team he is playing on for a Memorial Day tournament. He was a base runner on second base and the pitcher tried to "pick" him off and the ball hit him in the face. Diagnosis.........broken nose!
Question of the day......"How much more can a family endure?" Below is the newest contact information for Nonnie.
