To all of you faithful blog readers, my sincere apologies for not updating this sooner. You can assume that no news is good news, though! ;)

Mom is still doing well - all of her lab work looks great, and everything is as expected thus far. Her energy level is still very low and she has become the Queen of Naps - averaging anywhere from 3-7 per day. It's funny how naps seem to be contagious...at least for me. Ever since I moved in with her I have taken more naps than I ever have. Hmmmm....I need to keep reminding myself that I'm not the one who is sick here. ;)

The next big event is her bone marrow biopsy which is next Monday, July 28th. The results will tell us if they find any leukemia and what percentage of my mom's marrow is actually my Aunt Cindy. It will most likely be 100% because we got a test recently that said that a month ago my mom's marrow was 45% Aunt Cindy's and 55% her own. The human body is so fascinating! So, as soon as we get the results back from the biopsy I will update the blog.

She is still unable to eat at restaurants (until day 60) and she's supposed to stay away from big crowds of people....except we had to sneak out to the theater the other night to see Mamma Mia - we are both suckers for musicals!

Many of you have cooked and brought us yummy meals and/or treats - thank you so much! It may not seem like much to you, but trust me, it really does mean so much to us. It's in the little things where I see the biggest love.

Thank you all for being so faithful in loving and praying for my sweet mom.

XOXO
Lindsay
