SATURDAY, 03/11/2006:
Again thank you family and dear friends for your cards, comments, prayers, and positive thoughts I am so very grateful to each of you.

Three days ago we walked into Methodist again for the consolidation phase of the chemtherapy. Bob and I carried two suitcases packed with coffee pot, PJs, pictures etc. and the New York Marathon poster. Dr. Foote met us at the door and from that point on it was welcome back. Onward with the program. Everthing is going as it is supposed to. I should leave here late Tuesday for an at home recovery process. The best part is that the entire team supports my decision to attend the Beaumont High School reunion on March 24. Hopefully the transplant process will take place mid to late April.

The poster tells it all. We are going from miles 8 to 18 now. The greatest challenge is from miles 18 to 26.2. Onward............
