Life with Leukemia (And Some Reading) - December 13


 It's Sunday Post time!  This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.

So long time no see!  I've been reviewing pretty regularly but just didn't have the energy for much else.  Things are going pretty well.  All test results are good and definitely going the way we want them.  Our team is expecting an absolute full and complete recovery with no relapse which is beyond amazing to hear.  When your child gets a leukemia diagnosis they tell you it's a marathon and not a sprint and we are definitely feeling that right now.  We are almost done with week 9 of 120 though that may be extended if treatment has to pause for any reason (which is not uncommon).  We've been in the middle of a really intense few weeks but it's about to get easier for a little bit and even better news is WE ARE GOING HOME!  Like this week.  We are transferring to the affiliate in our city and we are all so excited.  It is definitely time to go home.  We will have to come back up to Memphis in a month or two for about a month but we will worry about that when we get there.

Currently:


Reading:  Murder, She Wrote: Aloha Betrayed by JB Fletcher and Donald Bain and Cold Wind by Paige Shelton
 
Listening:  Murder at the Mansion by Sheila Connolly

Watching:  A lot of YouTube and I got caught up Dancing with the Stars and Catfish

How is your week going?  What are you reading?  Have a great week!

    Oh that's such good news to be returning home, you'll be in familiar surroundings for Christmas which must be rewarding. Good that Will is making great progress. It must take its toll on you all, certainly not an easy journey. Yay for good books and You Tube!!

    I'm so glad to hear an update, Katherine! How wonderful that you'll get to go home for period of time. I know that will be a nice change and even though you'll have to go back in upcoming days, home will be welcome. Know that we're all here for you - thinking of Will and all of you as you run this marathon of treatment. Praying always. May your holiday time be peaceful and joyful. Biggest hugs ever!

    Oh happy news for sure. I wasn't aware that the treatment was so lengthy, that has to be tough for you and your son. Sending positive vibes your way.

    I know you will be glad to get home. Do you think the cat will enjoy it as I know it's been interesting looking out the window at the passing people and dogs!

    It will be good to reurn to some normalcy and I hope your son is feeling better, looking forward to getting to his own room and books and all of it. You have been in my thoughts more than you hear from me.

    The book Cold Wind sounds good. Will check it out.

    I can't imagine the toll on all of you-mentally, physically and emotionally. I suppose you can only take it a week at a time or you'd go a bit mad. Glad to hear that the results are all as expected.
