I think this next week will offer not much in the way of 'new' information. We are finishing up the second round of chemo around Wed or Thursday of this week then it is a waiting game for my counts to come up (reference earlier posts from round 1 chemo for what that all means). The medical staff is incredibly competent and responsive. I am absolutely in the right place.
On a this is awesome note...Father Eric from our St Michael North Andover Parish came in to see me yesterday. It was so nice Jim was here and Fr. Eric got a chance to meet my cousin Mark and wife Karen. This week many of the St Michael middle schoolers are going on a trip to DC for the Walk for Life. In addition to the walk, the kids will see Arlington National Cemetery and a monument or two. Emma is going with several of her friends and Fr. Eric is a chaperone. For the bus ride I suggested singing '100 bottles of beer on the wall' 100x but he thought he could come up with something more mission appropriate.
That's it for now
Much Love
Maureen
Maureen was admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston MA 12/16/14 with Acute Myloid Leukemia. She underwent two rounds of high intensity chemo followed by a transplant March 19, 2015. The leukemia was in remission for several months but returned late August '15. Since then Maureen has had several different types of treatment both as an inpatient and outpatient. Currently Maureen is in the hospital (10/17) receiving two different chemo regimens. She hopes to go home soon.
