Booth at the Uintah County Fair

We've sold hundreds of tickets for the raffle so far. Thank you to everyone who has participated! The date for the drawing has been set for August 7th. The wonderful people over the county fair have given us a spot to have a booth to set up the raffle at the fair. This is a great opportunity to make the quilt and necklace raffle a success but I'll need lots of help. We'll need someone at the booth all three days of the fair. I am planning on covering the hours on Thursday but will need LOTS of help for Friday and especially Saturday because I will be out of town. So I'm asking for your help by signing up for a time to be at the booth to manage the raffle. As people volunteer I will add their name by the time slot. Please email dadnamedjosh@gmail.com or call 801-225-3946 to sign up to help. Thank you!

The Facts:

I (Kristen Baumgarten) wanted to post on this blog to give anyone who might be interested an update.

We went back to Salt Lake last Wednesday to see Josh's doctors, and for an MRI.

So here's the latest:

• Josh's tumor has shrunk by a little over a centimeter. It was 4.5cm and is now 3.4cm. 
• He finished another cycle of Temodar (chemotherapy)
• He will start another cycle of Temodar in about 21 days from today
• He will continue to receive an infusion every two weeks as part of the study he is participating in. (It is a double blind study, and we aren't sure if he is receiving Avastin or saline)
• He will not have another MRI until September unless there is a need for one. 
• We are fine, just taking one day at a time.
• We are still overwhelmed and completely humbled by all that has been and continues to be done for our family. We continue to pray for blessings to be upon each of you for helping us carry the burden.

"'Our family’s faith is in Jesus Christ and is not dependent on outcomes.' 

...We do all that we can for the healing of a loved one, and then we trust in the Lord for the outcome."  

-Elder Dallin H. Oaks

Let's Get Ready to Raffle!

WHAT: Quilt/Necklace Raffle for the Baumgarten Family

This gorgeous, one-of-a-kind quilt was made and donated by Helen Smith, a long time family friend of Josh's parents Pete and Lyle Baumgarten in Virginia. She is by profession a long arm quilter. The quilt is on display at the Uintah County Library, 155 East Main in Vernal. The quilt's dimensions are 57 inches by 78 inches. Click HERE to see more pictures of the quilt and necklace.

The necklace was donated by Jerry and Cindy Sprosty, friends of the Kremin family. It is a freshwater pearl necklace from Indonesia.
