A surprise visitor and gift....

Shane's sister Shamra is friends with Josh and Molly Brown.  Josh is a kicker for the St. Louis Rams (a previous kicker fo the Seahawks). They came with a football signed just for Shane along with other signatures....Matt Hasselbeck, Dane Looker, Brock Huard, and some others!  Josh was so kind and told Shane he was been praying for him=)  It was such a thoughtful thing for Shamra to set-up!

Whew! 10 weeks down.....ONLY 2 to go!!!!

What a journey this has been!  Shane's HGC #'s are amazing and his body is no longer "creating" cancer!  Praise God!  He is feeling so sick and we are not looking forward to this week coming with recovering at home.  We are really looking forward to him feeling better and feeling 100%!

The following 2 weeks are on Tuesdays and the treatments are out-patient.  We are excited to not be traveling weekly to Swedish=)  Although we do have to say that the staff on the Oncology floor are amazing!  They really are wonderful nurses and love what they do!

Shane will start his surgeries in 6-8 weeks after his final chemo treatment.  After that, he should be in remission and just have check-ups every 3 months for 5 years.


Thank you so much for your continued prayer!

Fun pictures from Shane's last 5 day stay @ Swedish......

Random Testing....

This isn't the best picture, but it shows the machine that tests Shane's lung capacity because chemo can have an effect on different things...lungs being one of them.  He also has to have his ears tested for hearing.  Shane's results are coming back very good!

Cycle 3....6 weeks to go!!!

This week was more laid back than the other weeks we have stayed at Swedish.  Shane was more tired and bogged down.  His #'s are exceeding expectations and we know it is because of all your prayers!  Even with his #'s dropping dramatically and quickly, his oncologist is still wanting him to do the full 12 weeks of chemo.  Surgeries of the skeleton tumors will then be removed.  

Daddy's FAVORITE Visitor=)

Sadie could hardly wait to visit daddy!

She is daddy's BEST medicine!

Sadie kept her eye on Nurse Heidi making sure she did things "just" right;)

Two 1 Day Treatments.....

Shane had his one day treatments of Bleomycin for the past 2 weeks.  Each being on a Tuesday and only takes about 2 hours.  Everything went great and his #'s are dropping dramatically!  Praise God!!! And thank you for your continued prayers=)
