4/20/11 - Semi-soft waters

Well morning has gone well, Megan, Matt, and Mosby have been here and ran back out to do some errands.  I was glad to see them come but didn't take long to realize that little baby boy has so much more energy than this poor old grandma right now.  1st time have know for sure that I cannot handle him, he's all boy plus.
We are in this prayer mode once again, as if I have not asked enough, Bone Marrow Biopsy results will be coming in any time and maybe not until tomorrow.  Cross all fingers and toes that we get very low numbers of Blasts or "0" would be nice.  This would mean that remission has been achieved and we are ready to go on to the next step of prepping for Transplant. If it's bad news I get hooked back up to another round of the chemo.
With the news of a Donor, (I call him mine), somethings in my mine have been eased,  I feel like I'm still in  the water but I may be able to catch a glimpse of land every once in awhile.  Don't get me wrong, we have mountains to cross and hills to climb but the map is here.  I have not had the map in all these months and it is like someone has thrown me a lifeline and I don't have to swim so hard.  One more control issue off my plate.

  1. Hi Linda! I posted earlier in response to yesterday's post from Megan but it didn't go....some things I cannot explain! Bad storm hit around last night--got Mike's and Jarrod's but no one hurt. You can look at amy arvin burris up on FB and see pics she's posted on snap fish. You have to sign in with an email acct and password but are not obligated any more than that.
    I was thrilled to hear you are so pleased with your wig....Megan stated that it looks as nice as your hair. Mike B got very sober when I told him that you were getting your hair buzzed that one day. He said he guessed that's what they'd do to him in the same situation--I didn't want to break the news that they wouldn't have to buzz much from him..LOL. I saw it as a "new beginning" for you. I believe this will work and I'm not letting my guard down--praying for always! You are my hero and I have so much admiration for you. I believe we have many guardian angels watching over us and I've told God to take some of mine to watch over you. I hope you are having a good day!
    Love and prayers....BFF...Carol

  2. I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR GOOD NEWS LINDA---BLAST IN BLOOD UNDER 10! There is no describing the euphoria I feel for hearing your voice and the good news. I miss you so much! You are so strong and brave and some of my guardian angels are still on loan to you!!
    I was mowing today with a hoodie on over my head and even with my hair, my head was cold and I immediately thought of you without hair and I thought, "suck it up Carol" and then I wasn't cold anymore. I swear you are with me throughout most of my day and night.
    Keep up the good work. You've been through so much but you are DOING IT!!
    Love and prayers and Happy Birthday to Jimmy!!
    ...BFF.....Carol
