August 28th
Claire remains in the care of her doctors at Sutter Memorial Hospital. Her white blood count continued a decline and this morning some of her red blood numbers followed. This afternoon she received a transfussion of red blood products and continues to be monitored for infection. Her initial blood culture taken on Saturday showed no sign of bacterial growth but samples will continue to be taken untill she can maintain a normal temperature for 24 hours, with no assistance from tylenol, and no bacteria identified in her blood. Some good news came late today from Shannon, who reported that Claire had not had a fever for 8 hours. Our hope will be that her blood counts rebound and a normal temperature can be sustained for a period of 3-5 days. This could allow Claire to return home for the Holiday weekend. She had already been scheduled for a return admitance to the hospital on September 5th for her 2nd round of Chemo.
Please keep her in your thought's and prayer's. I can not find the word's to express our gratitude to those who have reached out. Just know we appreciate all of the support and look forward to providing positive updates in the day's ahead.

Millers-
May you be bold and courageous for your most precious jewel. We can't even imagine what you must be experiencing. God bless to each and every one of you. May you give thanks to friends like Matt and Rhonda who continue to extend your prayer chain, as will we. Look into that young lady's eyes and tell her she has some friends in Nebraska who haven't met her, but love her to pieces and are praying for her right now.
God's blessings to you,
Bill, Jane , Katherine, Elizabeth, Charles, Anna Grace and Sophia Weed
Claire- We are praying for you, sweet girl! Hopefully your body will start making lots of white blood cells and more red ones, too! I hope that your fever comes down (along with your body making more blood cells) so that you can go back home before your second round of chemo.
Hugs to you, your dad, your mom, Ryan, and Reese!

Thank you, Denise, for sharing this incredible website. I was very touched and inspired by the courage and love that shines through every word posted by Shannon and Chris. The agony and the miracles, the humor of Claire's incredible appetite and her feisty personality, the incredible outpouring of support, prayers, and love from family and friends, the care of first class doctors and nurses are all part of a painful, yet filled with moments of awe and gratitude, journey. How thankful we will all be when Claire returns to the joy of everyday life!I often take it too much for granted! There is a wide circle of love, support, and prayers for all of you. Linda & Jim
Our continued love, thoughts, and prayers for Claires continued progress and recovery. Karen and Guy Anderson

Dear Claire,
I hope your body keeps working so hard to make those blood cells (red and white). Keep up the hard work. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of all the fun times we shared at gymnaastics and that I can't wait for you to show Reese all you learned. Your in my prayers everyday!Hugs!!!
Love, Ms.Shasta
We are shocked after hearing the great news a few days ago. We were gone on a final small trip before school and came back to this news. However, this does appear par for the course, and as always our prayers are with beautiful Claire.
Take good care of yourselves so you will be rested when Claire comes home.

Dearest Claire Bear and all of you, We continue to have good thought in our prayers and thoughts each day...what a courageous child you are Claire, and your Mommy and Daddy are,too.
Much love to you all, Sally & Dave

We are adding our prayers for Claire's recovery. Since we are close by and have no jobs, we can provide any help you need.
Hi MIllers,
You are all in my prayers. Will you share with us the blood type Claire has. We can donate blood for her if we are the same blood type or donate blood in her name so she has plenty if she needs it. I am 0+. Anyone that want to donate can go to the center on folsom blvd near alhambra, (that's the one I know, but I am sure there is more than this one)
I'm thinking good thoughts for Claire. I'm also praying for strength for the family.
Denise Boroughs-Fitch
