Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Even after another long week, featuring another LP-ITC and another transfusion, Georgia had another great weekend! She felt so good yesterday, she and Ivy were playing Wii and giggling just like "normal." Her ANC was below 500 again, so we have to be extra careful this week to avoid any infection, but other than that, she's doing super!

Speaking of super, we met Will and Dianna Bacon last weekend when they were in town for a marathon. Georgia was thrilled with all of the Team in Training gear they brought her, but she was most excited about a very special gift - a Texas flag that flew over the State Capitol on the date of her remission! What a special way to remember a most special day. We enjoyed meeting Will and Dianna and look forward to cheering him on in May when he rides in the Shiner GASP. Click on his picture in the sidebar to see his updated TNT page, and if you haven't already, please donate in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.


In other fundraising news, we're off and running with our St. Baldrick's campaign, so click on the link in the sidebar if you want to donate as we "shave the way" to conquer childhood cancers! Also, we just got in some more bracelets, and we now have youth size, too, so email us at the address in the sidebar and we'll get some out to you.

Finally, we've started a Facebook group called, what else, "Keepin' Georgia on Your Mind," as another way to share updates and pictures, etc.. Next time you're over there, make sure to join us and invite your friends - Georgia loves a party, so the more the merrier!

Thanks everyone - and have a great week!

  2. Hi Georgia,

    We truly enjoyed getting to spend some time with you! Will rode 22 miles this past Saturday with the team. I ran in the Austin marathon, wearing my orange Georgia bracelet, it definitely helped me battle those Austin hills.

    We posted your picture on Will's TNT page and look forward to geting some more the next time we come to Austin. Take care!

    Love, Dianna & Will

  4. I love seeing your blog, Georgia! By the way have I told you I love the name Georgia? I also love seeing how you're doing, like if you're in remission, and seeing what new is happening. Plus there's TONS to see and read. I think it's awesome that you have a blog where you can just chill, relax, and blog. I also think it's great you have links to things like St. Baldrick's, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, etc. I'd love to stay and post, but I have to log off. I will try to blog tomrrow to see what you're doin'.
