second day of strm cells
Had a long night, Russ's blood presure droped real low, so no one got any sleep except Russ. He sleep all night.This morning we went for a walk and Russ did his breathing exercises,had breakfast. All the Dr. come to see him ,then lunch and stem cells at 3:00. All went well and after it was over he said he felt really good.They have some real funkie food but if he doesn't keep eating they will have to put in a feeding tube. So far the only thing he has trouble with is bing sick to his stomack.Today he has keep everything down so far. He get the hickups Dr. said that happens alot with chemo patients. I don't get alot of sleep up here it's to noisy,doors slaming,buzzers going off, nurses coming in at all hours of the night I don't know how any one can get any sleep it's crazy.But they are taking great care of Russ and they are very good ant what they do I thankful for that. I'am also thankful for all of you and your comments and prayers, we are truley blessed with such good friends and family. Keep the comments coming we really enjoy hearing from you. Love Carol

Good to hear all has went well. Me and Tyson are going to see tony and jadon in the morning. They are hearding sheep until Ty gets new help. Hope they dont durn the sheep camp down or the hillside. Thinking of you Ruston
Just saying hello again. I'm sure there will be lot's of ups and downs to come for you. Hopefully though, less downs, and more ups as time goes. I can understand the lack of sleep at the hospital. At Primary's we were in a shared room, so double the nurses and ins and outs -- not to mention the comfy fold out bed. But, it's a blessing to be able to get help when we need it. We wish you all the best, and hope things continue to look up!
Hi! Grandma and Grandpa, Hope you are doing good. I am glad you are getting your treatments to better. I can't wait to go fishing with you.
Love, Jaron & Cheryl
Russ and Carol, It is great to hear that today went good. Russ keep eating, a tube up the nose is not the way to go. We were going back to the cabin today but Alayna had a bad day so we will wait and see what happens tomorrow. It seems that somedays just go that way as you well know. I will give you call in a day or so, this blogging just is not for me I like voices.

Kurtly & doug call everyday, however they are computer illiturate. they said there prayers are with you. Kelcie wonders if grandma likes the hospital. Ellie hopes granpa's ok. Cole says he likes granpa's dogs, there at our house now. your animals miss you, the dogs have dug out, dundee has jumped 4 fences were going to send dundee up with the herder when he gets here. I have an indian hitchhiking from new mexico, he would'nt take the bus. jaden & tony are taking care of the goats and are doing good. asked if they wanted to go home today, but they said no. they're having fun we should of used them all summer. Don't give up we miss you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Russ. I live up here in salt lake so if there is anything I can do please let me know.
This is a great idea of keeping everyone informed. MaKell and myself went back to Dr. Winters office today and they were all asking about you. I told them about this blog spot so I hope that is ok. They are all thinking of you and so are we. We will keep you in our prayers!

Hi Carol and Russ,
Maren just told us about this blog today while cleaning her teeth. Sandy and I are trying it out - neither one of us knows what the heck to do here but just know we love you and are praying for you. This is a great way to hear about your daily progress.
Praying for you, Sandy and Camille
It finally rained a little today, it sure was nice while it lasted. I hope things are going good today.
I will check later to is if you add a comment on the progress today.
It is so good to hear how things are going up there. Keep on eating Russ, feeding tubes can't be any fun. It's no fun having hiccups when someone can't scare them out of you. We check this blog site daily and also are keeping you in our prayers.
Love you guys,
Tom and Bess
Hey what's happening today. I tried to write yesterday but me and this dam computer were having issues, I hope we've come to an understanding. I have no fish stories I've become a cement man. The catch is about the same but the work isn't as fun. well keep eating that yummy food and keep a good attitude.
Love ya Bro. Randal
Hi, Jim Sorensen forwarded Carol's email to me. (my email is jim@michelsmachinery.com) I'm glad to here that Russ is doing so well. I'm sure as "tuff" as he is, he is going to do just fine. If there is anything that we can do to be of any help, please don't hesitate to call. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Jim and Ronda
