Tuesday May 12

Last Thursday I returned home to North Andover in time for Emma's National Junior Honors Society ceremony, her volleyball game, Joseph's track meet and Mother's Day.  Thanks again to my cousins for their hospitality as I stayed with them in their beautiful Brookline home close to the hospital until  the  Doctor's were ready to set me lose on the North Shore/Merrimack Valley.  My Aunt Debbie escorted me back and forth to the hospital while  I was in Boston.  Now that I am home, my Mom is in town taking me to the clinic every few days to get blood drawn and make sure my levels remain okay - so far so good and the medical team remains very happy with my progress.

Interestingly the transition home has been a little challenging.  There is much I can't do just yet but it will all come in good time.  It is nice having my Mom here and we also had a nice visit with my Jim's sister Gina and her husband George.

Wonderful seeing everyone I've managed to run into so far - getting some good rest and so very grateful to be home.

Thanks for checking in and talk to you all soon

With love
Maureen
