Home . . .

Home. After a short overnight visit to the hospital we are enjoying the night at home. Eden received more chemo this morning and left the hospital with oral chemo as well as injections of chemo in hand. Along with oral chemo and meds she will have shots this week and next to complete the phase of delayed intensification. Thank you for all the prayers as we complete this phase of Eden’s treatment.
September 12th is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. To Iowa, that is the day of the in state rivalry between Iowa State & Iowa. In lieu of the "Beat Iowa" and "Beat State" t shirts that are generally seen across the state a group of parents have designed "Beat Cancer" shirts. The shirts say "Beat Cancer" on the front and "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day" on the back and they are available in black and gold or cardinal and gold. Although we have a strong preference of colors we look forward to both Cyclones and Hawkeyes joining forces to raise awareness. You will also notice the website has UNI and Drake shirts available.
The shirts are available for $10 with all the proceeds going to CureSearch! The website established is beatcancertoday.org you can order directly from the website. If you are in the Washington or Des Moines area and would like to avoid shipping you can download the order form and mail to us along with a check payable to “Beat Cancer Today” we will be placing a large order and will arrange delivery. Please e mail us with any questions at kslevetzow@yahoo.com. Thanks for supporting CureSearch!

  1. I'll bet there is just a little more focus on the cardinal & gold than the other guys - which I agree with! Hope things continue to go well. I'll be away from a computer for the next week so If I don't respond it's not that I'm not thinking of you. Steve J.

  2. It's cardinal & gold for us two. You will be hearing from us. So happy that all went so well for you on Wed/Thurs at the hospital. I can imagine how 'trying' that has to be not being able to give Eden food or drink until after the treatments are finished. A brave little girl and very loving and patient parents, to say the least. Eden will remain in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. We just know God has something special ahead for the three of you. His love has shown through as you are traveling this long road. God's blessings to you, and all our love.
