Today is a great day in the Currie household - its the first day of summer vacation for their kids!  It is also great news because Christy got some very encouraging news yesterday.  To give some back story, Christy found out a year ago that she had a tumor on her thyroid.  Through extensive tests and evaluations, it was revealed that she was on the verge of thyroid cancer.  She and Jason decided not to take any action, but to watch it and treat it as things arose.  Well, yesterday she got confirmation that she does not have thyroid cancer in addition to the breast cancer, and that actually, the tumor has shrunk!  This is incredible news - Christy is taking high doses of nutritional supplements and there is a good possibility that they have already started making a big impact on her body.  It is still important that she go through chemotherapy, though, as she doesn't want to take any risks.  She's a young mother, and they have decided to do all things possible to eliminate the cancer entirely.

Last weekend the Curries moved into their "summer home" -  a temporary living situation while they wait for their new house to be completed sometime in August.  They actually closed on their new property yesterday, which is very exciting!  Jason's sister and two sisters'-in-law came out to Omaha to help them with their move.  Thank you to them and to everyone else who pitched in!

Christy begins chemo on June 2nd, and we will see how things go from there.  I will keep you updated on how things are progressing and how she's feeling.

As of now, there are a few ways that you can help,

First of all, a meal schedule has been set up to help provide three meals a week for the Currie family.  Here is a link to that:

*Please note that all food must be strictly gluten free.

Secondly, an account has been set up at Pinnacle Bank for the Curries, with all donated funds going to help cover the medical costs.  You an go into any branch and make a donation.  This is the account number: #2206112528

Thank you so much for the help already!  Again, if you have any questions, you can email me at kjberkenkemper@liberty.edu.  I have a daughter who needs to eat strictly gluten free as well, so if you need help with meal ideas, just shoot me an email and I can help!

Thank your everyone!!!
