Fundraiser - Melba

Michelle has continued to experience extreme head pressure - most likely from the blood clot blocking off the free flow of blood. As a result, her head and face are still quite swollen each morning and she continues to have headaches constantly. Some Afrin nasal spray yesterday, May 14 seemed to help some. She had blood tests again and was informed later in the day that her blood counts are up so she didn't have to do the neupogen shot. One less injection is always good news!

The Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser at Mount Vernon Christian School went super well - served over 450 people. Michelle stayed the whole 3 hours to visit and we were overwhelmed with the support from so many family members, friends, co-workers from Birch Equipment and her former place of employment-Concrete Nor'west as well as Denny's co-workers and school families and Melba's employer. It was awesome!

As Denny, Nathan, and Melba were counting the donations Michelle called - the headache caused so much nausea she was vomiting. So we rushed over to check on her and get 7-up and ice packs and get her to bed - not fun. It was quite late so the donation amount will have to wait. But we're grateful for the huge support and in a general glance can tell that God has used such wonderful friends and family to alleviate the financial concerns and we know He will take care of the rest in due time.
