Help Wanted!

Now that Greta is settling into a routine of treatments and hospital stays, Mom is ready to get back to work a little bit more. Greta's current sitter is doing a great job, but she'll soon be going back to school. If anyone knows someone who is looking for part-time work as a daytime caregiver, Kristi and Randy would like to hear from them! Greta needs someone with a flexible work schedule, who can be available 1-3 days a week, 8:00-4:30. If you are interested or know someone who is, please use the link at right to send a personal email to the Betz family for more information.

Yesterday, Greta went in for labs as usual, and, as has become fairly usual, received another blood & platelet transfusion. It was a mostly uneventful day, Greta napped at the hospital during her transfusion and returned home in the late afternoon for some playtime. She's been her usual cuddly, silly self - always so sweet!

Greta has an appointment at UM Hospital in Ann Arbor this coming Tuesday for the awaited PET scan. Mom and Dad will make a quick trip with their girl there and back, no overnight stay required this time! Her next chemo session will likely be the 15th, after her surgery to replace and relocate her Broviac.

It occurred to us, recently, that if anyone has made donations to any of the various charities that we've suggested, we have no way of knowing about it - and you may not know that we don't know about it. If you have made a donation, thank you so much! We apologize that we haven't sent personal "thank you"s; if we had a way to know about the donations, we most certainly would!

Thank you for your time, your generosity, your blood, your letters and cards, your notes, your prayers, and most of all, your love.

And thank you, Kari, Kristi & Randy for keeping all of us updated on Greta and the whole Betz family. I can't tell you how nice it is to know how to help, what is going on and know that we're not constantly intruding by calling or e-mailing you individually. Thank you very much! Give Greta & Gavin hugs and kisses from us!!

Love,
Laura, Ron, Emma & Jake Goos
