LEAP DAY 2008

Hello fellow leapers!! Well, we have leapt into this round with a bang. Erin started her chemo last night at 11 p.m. This morning, after virtually no sleep, Erin woke up with a ton of nausea. They gave her Zofran twice to no avail and then had to hit her with some Ativan. So she has slept the whole day away. We are waiting to do the spinal tap this afternoon but we don't know what time. It is probably better that she is sleeping because the anxiety of knowing she has to go through the procedure is worse than the procedure itself. On a positive note, it has been nice to see all the friendly faces of the nurses here that we came to know and love. If you are wondering about the boxing theme, our friend Cindy sent Erin some boxing gloves with scripture written all over them. They are already hung on the wall in preparation for the FIGHT!! Get thee behind us Leukemia!! Thanks for the prayers, let's all pray for a "knock out" in this round!!
love you all, janet

Hey Erin, I love your boxing theme!! I was just coaching hurdles at track practice today, and one of the biggest things I have to tell the athletes is not to hesitate or slow down when they get close to the hurdle. I tell them to attack it aggressively so they will have enough momentum to clear it. It's when they get intimidated and start slowing down their approach/attack that they start to trip.
Go after your obstacles with intensity, aggression, and most of all confidence and you will have the momentum to overcome them! Hey, and with God on your side, you can get some wings (or winged assistants) to help you clear the really tall ones!!! Don't forget that the stands are full to the brim with your fans rooting for you to win victoriously!!!!
I really admire the athleticism you've shown so far!
love ya, Rebecca (Redmond) Hagues
