We Had a Wonderful Weekend

Hello dear friends,

Just a quick note to let you know Mom and Dad are hanging in there. I brought the kids up for the weekend and Allison brought Isabelle down from New York. We were able to have a sleepover with Isabelle and the cousins had a fantastic time playing together. Mom stayed on her toes with the kiddos and maintained pace with them, breaking out the playdoh and glitter glue to keep the kids entertained for hours.

Mom continues to need platelets at least twice a week and blood typically one time per week as well. Another round of Vidaza is anticipated for the first week in February. While she tires easily, she insists having her grandbabies nearby is the absolute best medicine.

Dad just returned from Switzerland. In continuing the tradition that began when we were very small, he returned from his trip with tee shirts that reflect the country where he was working. Except that in the old days, he never brought three shirts at once - the three of us would rotate. He never went to such exotic places like Switzerland back then either. More like Detroit...or someplace in Texas.



While I was in town I read through some of the many cards you have all sent. How do you all come up with such incredibly comforting words? Please continue to pray for my parents. Your support means so much to us all.

Much love,

Jessie
