How sweet it is. Greta has completed her second round of chemo and she once again amazed the doctors with her strength. Before we left she was blowing kisses and giving "fives" to the doctors and nurses.
Now we are looking forward to the warm weather and a holiday weekend at home. We will definitely need to be extra careful though with her at home right after the chemo. She will be at her weakest at home, rather than at the hospital like last time. Yikes! That means lots of hand washing and well placed sneezes into elbows. That could be a tough one for Gavin. We will have plenty of hand sanitizer around the house for him and others.
Her next round of chemo is scheduled for June 2nd, with clinic visits twice a week to check her counts. So that means we should have a nice two weeks of all of us at home.
A lot of you have asked what you can do to help us out. Mostly we are asking for the continued prayers, but also we think that a great gift to honor Greta would be that of blood donation. Greta has already received three transfusions which wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of others. You can find your local donation site by visiting the American Red Cross.
Thank you!
The Betz Family

Welcome home! Please send Gavin over anytime if you need a little R&R or just need to get the "sneezes and dirty hands" out of the house for a while. We are all healthy over here!
Glad that the treatments are going well and that Greta is responding well to them!
