Monday after work we headed up to Phoenix Photography to do a photography session with Mike. Mike was looking to do some work with the KCCFA and has donated a photo shoot and a few pictures. The KCCFA asked us if we would be interested in being the first family to try this and we thought that was a fun idea.
We arrived a little late as the traffic in the North wasn’t good. It took us over 45 minutes to get up to Castle Ridge with the new construction on 36th Street and 64th Avenue causing a pretty good delay. Once we arrived we went downstairs to the studio and after a quick chat Mike and Jo got right to taking pictures. It was a great experience and they took some excellent pictures of us as a family, the kids, Mom and the kids, Dad and the kids and even Mom and Dad. It was a fun experience with lots of fun and exciting poses. If you are interested you can look at the pictures on the following website: http://thelewisfamily.myphoenixphoto.com/.

Tuesday night was another fun Beaver event. We had Kullinary Kids come and visit us and make some fruit smoothies and give us some nutrition information. This kids all seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the treat. Next week we are back to the school with normal meetings.
Wednesday morning Karlee had her CBC (Complete Blood Count) as the South Calgary Lab. JoJo called us a little after noon and let us know that her counts were better, but still need to come up more. Her hemoglobin and platelets are both really good, but her ANC is still low. Currently she is at 500 which still puts her at great risk of infection if she is exposed to anything. So we have taken her off of house arrest, but will only take her to places we need to. Anywhere that she has close contact with anyone is still off limits. She needs to get her ANC up above 750 by next Monday so she can continue with the next phase of treatment.
Wednesday evening Jennifer went to a team meeting about the Skate-A-Thon for both Karlee and the KCCFA. The Skate-A-Thon is moving ahead at full speed and it sounds like it will be a great event. They are going to have prizes for the kids who raise the most money and are trying to get additional sponsors. If anyone is interested in donating prizes or anything else please let me know at ronlewis@telusplanet.net. We have also confirmed that Ryley is allowed to get pledges. If you are interested in making a pledge let us know. Coach Joe has also confirmed that C-JAY is going to do some on-air promotion the week prior to the event. It is very humbling to realize how many people are willing to do something for Karlee and for the KCCFA. We, as a family, would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in this endeavour.
