This week Casey's mom and Dad came to visit. It's always nice to have company. Casey is doing well this week. On Friday he started a targeted drug to hopefully kill the last 2000 leukimia cells. They say this drug will go in and attach itself to the leukemia cells and kills it.
The side effects have hit. He woke up one morning and it looked like he had slept with a cat. He is completely bald. The other night the teachers and priests came to see him. He challenged them to be bold and go bald. He got to shave some of their heads. He really enjoyed this! When I got here after Young Women's the room looked like a tornado hit it. There was hair, brownies and frosty cups everywhere! (What a mess!) There has been more people to go bald. Thanks for showing us your head, Eric McKay (we even like the tan spot on the top of your head). We have heard there are many others that have done so also. Please send pictures. We have received many phone calls about Ken Secretan shaving his head. Thankyou so much! We really appreciate everyone's support. Ben Nish is coming close!
FIVE highlights of the week:
1. Watching coyote calling movies (it sounds like squealing balloons)
2. Calls from the kids (bee stings, and stunts on horses)
3. Received more for the car write- off then we would selling it. (Thanks Apryl!)
4. Shaving the young men's heads. (I wonder what there mom's thought?)
5. I just won another 4 weeks of unlimited stay (food included) and the Mountain View Hospital Grand Vacation Club. (drugs included).

Good job on the pictures!! I am so proud of you. I thought the third time cancer came back was the charm. Hope so. Hang in there. Canasta tonight? See you
I always thought Casey looked better bald anyway. How is Novemeber looking? Like you know yet, but that is when we are trying to come see you guys. Let me know!!Love you guys.
The blog has been fun to read.We try to update the kids when they ask how uncle casey is doing by showing them a picture or reading them your entry of the week or day. Anyways thanks for the updates. It,s looking like Brian is going to fly to Vegas and spend most of the week with you Sept.1-5 or 6. I will take the kids to Canada. This will help Chad out with driving.Sorry we all can't come to see you, it's probably better this way, less stress for you. Brian will still come to Canada but only for a few days for the wedding. We would love to have your kids in Canada as well I'll be around (for once) to help with the kids. Let us know what you think!! ASAP so we can look into flights from Chicago to vegas and then Vegas to canada or montana.We love you so much,think of you often and pray for you always! Love ya!
It was great seeing all the "baldies" at church today--bald is beautiful! Keep up your fightin' spirit--you're such an inspiration to all of us!
Well finally!! It turns out that I am not retarded like I thought. I have not been able to figure out how to leave a message, but I did it. We just wanted to let you know that you look much younger without hair(isn't that weird?). I have been planning a show for you and Lani says she wants to be there for it to make sure you don't think you have died and gone to heaven. You guys are amazing and such an inspiration to our family. We love you guys and we keep praying for you. We will see you soon!! Love, Jessica and family
