August 29th

Hello to all of Claire's Team,

Claire was admitted to Sutter on Sunday evening to due to fever. We were hoping it was just a viral infection which would have allowed her to return on Wednesday. But as it seems to go when you are fighting cancer, the results of her blood culture were positive for staph. We were still hopefull for an early discharge as Claire's blood counts were ok. Over the past few day's her blood counts have dropped to a point requiring product transfusion and she has experienced a few other complications along the way. The blood culture's continue to come back positive for infection and now she has become neutropedic (low white blood cell count: 500 measurable cells or less). We will hope for progress in the next few day's.

Please continue to pray and think positive for Claire.

Thanks for the continued support.

SUPER CLAIRE!

Claire had her latest MRI on Tuesday. It was the longest period between pictures to date and we were very anxious awaiting the results. The scans were good and were read as stable with no sign of growth or spreading of disease. She was admitted to Sutter this afternoon to begin round 4 of maintenance chemo. She will be at Sutter until Friday. We are feeling so very blessed with Claire's progress and so full of hope for a continued miracle.

Thanks and please keep the positive thoughts, energy, and prayer for Claire.

Hurray for our SUPER CLAIRE!!!

Hello all,

Sorry for the limited updates. I can not sleep tonight and felt the need to just give a quick thought. July 29th was the one year mark of Claire's tragic event. It is hard to believe that a year has passed. During the initial day's there were few that gave us any hope of making it out of the ICU. But here we are. Please continue your thoughts and prayers. I believe your support, prayer, and following has had such a positive impact. The strength you have given us is not measurable.

CLAIRE WILL BEAT THIS. I KNOW SHE CAN! I KNOW SHE IS! WE BELIEVE SHE WILL!
