UPDATE AUGUST 13 2008

Yesterday was a great day! Tina received a call, mid evening, that Emory collected more than enough stem cells. Now, they will sift though the cells to make sure they are healthy and if so, they will start to harvest new ones.

Jeff was feeling well enough, last night, to go to football practice with his father, Drew and Megan. Why Tina would trust Jeff around a football practice baffles me. As you can imagine, his adrenaline started pumping as soon as he got there and the 'coach' came out for as long as his body could stand before he pooped out and sat down. It may have been too late by that time because according to Tina, Jeff over did it last night. All that means is that he may be feeling even more fatigued than his norm these days.

By the time Jeff got home, Tina had a spaghetti pizza bake and chocolate cake, from Amy Neidigh, waiting for him. Amy made an interesting dish that the Blount's have never had, but they loved it. This was such a favorite to Megan that she brought it to school for lunch today.

Jeff closed the evening down with a visit from his other kids (students). He had a visit with Danny, Josh, Blake and Shea. Danny and Josh are headed off to UGA today (good luck) and wanted to see Jeff before they left.

Today is another round of doctor visits. Jeff has a little bit of a cough (last night) that Tina is going to have the doctor look at, but everything else is routine visit stuff.

REMINDER: The benefit at the Whistle Post Tavern is coming up on Saturday. It starts at 6pm with live music at 7pm. There is no cover charge to get in.

SIDE NOTE: Arlene Musgrove, a fellow Prospect Methodist Church member, made Jeff and Tina chicken and dumplins on Monday night that Tina said melted in her mouth. Once January rolls around and Jeff is healthy again, I propose a bake off amongst all of these women who are participating in the food drive (I want good food) Notice, my name is not on the cooking list- there is definitely a reason for that.
