May 18, afternoon

Ok, one weekend down. Not much to report about Randi, it is basically a waiting game. She's getting her chemo treatments, and having some side effects. A funny taste in her mouth which makes everything taste funny and she is tired, all normal unfortunately.
For blood donations, we have figured out it is best to call Pres hospital directly at 505-563-2195 and schedule a donation. She needs blood and platelets. If it is her type it will be set aside for her, if not she will get credit for it and it will go to someone in need. All a good thing. We are working on a possible blood drive for those who can't make it to Presbyterian. More details on that as we get it together.
I have had some offers of donations of money for the family. We have set up a donation account at Compass bank for them. http://www.bbvacompass.com/index.html. It is set up under my name, Alison Knox. Right now it does not say for Randi, we are awaiting approval on a donation account, but it is open. We will be using this money to keep the boys busy this summer, get the house ready for her to come home, gas for trips to the hospital, just to name a few things.
I want to thank everyone for all their support, with helping out and just being so generous. It shows just how much Randi, Geoff and the boys are loved. We appreciate everything and it leaves us able to take care of them without worrying about the little things.

Always praising HIM
Ali
