New Challenges

Everyday brings new challenges to think and pray about.

We've learned that Savannah's tissue type does not match the qualifications it needs to use " genetically engineered" immune cells. So, we need to pray that in the next few weeks the lab will be able to grow the till cells needed to fight the melanoma . They will know if the cells will grow in about 3 weeks but it will still take 6 -8 weeks for them to grow enough to give her. There is about a 70% chance they will grow. Since she is young and otherwise healthy.....they are optimistic! :)

On a lighter note... The Family Lodge we're staying in is WONDERFUL.
It's like having our own little suite within a Mansion. Super Nice, very comfortable......AND.........MAID SERVICE.....wahoooooooooo!

We are not sure when we are coming home.....possibly Monday....who knows
We really miss everybody! Thanks All!

  3. Dear Savannah,
    We are so happy you came through surgery well and that you were able to text so soon! (via your grandma to her sister! ha!) We think of you and pray for you daily. Congrats on the car, although Darren thought your original one was "sweet" when he saw you at the gas station!
    Hope to see you soon in AR!
    Love,
    The Farrish Five and Jack the Maniac who needs to be on Prozac!
