Update

Hello again...
Our mom is still doing well. We had a great weekend with all of my siblings home. We had Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday since everyone was around and it was a great time. We definitely kept my mom busy and probably wore her out, just like the doctor ordered!

Joe (Mary's youngest brother) had his appointment yesterday at Northwestern to get his stem cells taken. He was there for most of the day and gave more than enough! Adam told me how honored Joe felt to be able to do that for his sister. We're so thankful for his bravery and love for our mom. Thanks Joe!

Mom has another appointment on Thursday to get a bone marrow sample taken. They need to check to see if there is any cancer coming back. If there is then they will have to do another round of outpatient chemo. If not, then they move on to the stem cell transplant. Once we receive the results of the bone marrow, we'll know more of what her schedule will look like.

Thanks for your continued prayers <3

    Thanks for the update. It was so great seeing you on Sunday, Mary! I bet being surrounded by all of your blessings was super awesome. I can imagine Thanksgiving has a special meaning this year as you have experienced God's healing and blessing in a mighty way! Keep doing great, and we'll continue to pray! I guess little brothers aren't so bad after all! We love you!

    Good news! I'm glad that she is close to getting her transplant done! God willing, Mary's cancer won't be coming back, and with prayers, He will be! :) All of you are in our prayers!
