You are loved ~ Send refrigerator magnet

[kuhio98]

I told you about my friend fighting leukemia here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=170014

We are starting a refrigerator magnet campaign to show her how much she is loved. We are mailing refrigerator magnets that represent our state and/or country to her with a note that says "You are loved".

If you're interested, please PM me and I'll get you the address information. We're sending them anonymously so that she doesn't use her remaining strength to send Thank You notes. But, if you want to sign them, that's up to you.

Cool, I have a bunch of magnets from local pet-related businesses I picked up at the New England Pet Expo ...

Perfect! She will love them. She's been volunteering at her shelter for many, many years. Anything pet related (especially cats) will cheer her up.

The magnet I sent her was in the shape of a totem pole.

That is such a neat idea! I will send you an email and I will find a special magnet from Pennsylvania to send her. What a nice idea.

[phesina]

What a wonderful idea! What a thoughtful, kind, caring friend you are.

I will be happy to send her a magnet. Maybe more than one? I will PM you.

All the best to you and her both,
Pat (and cats)

I found a good Michigan magnet that shows both Midland and Ann Arbor. And I have a graphic one that says Ann Arbor at the bottom and has a cute picture of a dog (or a lamb?) on it.

She'll love it! Thanks so much. She's doing okay. Holding her own. Fighting with everything she has to get into remission.

I got a lovely Thank you note from her, so I know she got mine! Lisa, you can tell her I am a friend of yours - she asked if I was a friend of "Lisa or Sandy!" And her note had a bunny on the front!

Karen ~ She's getting quite a few (see below). She's added them to her "Encouragement Board". I just wish the prognosis was better.

How lovely I see the ones I got her! I, too, got a thank-you card from her that actually was so beautiful it made me cry. What a lovely woman she is. I'm hoping for a miracle!

I'll stop at the tollway oasis shop on my way home from work, because they usually have a good stock of Illinois gifts.

Rhoda has continued to receive encouragement magnets. Some of them from the wonderful angels her at Pet Talk. Thane you all so much.



(I went ahead and mentioned her name, since she's written it on the board.)

Lisa i posted her two magnets today, so hope they arrive safely.

Thank you Carole. She's going to be thrilled to receive them from so far away.

Rhoda received good news yesterday. She is on a new medicine (Neulasta) and it seems to be working. From Rhoda (FYI - she's been craving fresh fruit/citrus but wasn't allowed on her old medicine.):

My white blood cell count has gone up to 6.1 For the first time since diagnosis it is within normal range. Last week, as you recall, my wbc's were only 800.

My hemoglobin is 9.6, the same as last week.

My red blood cells stayed the same at 3.1.

My ANC number which tells how neutropenic I am is the highest ever at 4.1. I am in the normal range. The first thing I did was to go out and purchase one apple and one orange. I'm going to eat both of them tonight.

I love her board. I hope God decides to let her stay a lot longer than the doctors predicted.
