Today marks two weeks since Kristin was admitted, and optimistically speaking we will be here another 21+ days. Kristin has another 12 days of treatment scheduled in addition to undergoing another bone marrow biopsy later this week. After she completes all of her treatments, she will need at least a week to recover enough to be released. We appreciate everyone sending electronic messages of support, and in response to all the "Is there anything I can do?" messages, I have a request.

Could you please take a moment out of your day/week to mail Kristin a card or letter here at the hospital. Flowers, fruit baskets, and edible arrangements are not allowed. So nothing too fancy, just a post card or a short note, something as simple as an encouraging note scribbled on the back of a McDonald's receipt, a naughty limrick to make her smile, innappropriate images to make her blush, or a scratch off lottery ticket to fill two minutes boredom. Her address is listed below, so lets see if we can innodate her with mail over the next three weeks.
