   Greetings from the lovely North Western Hospital penthouse view!  I am here for my second stem cell transplant.  As before, I had the mega chemo yesterday and today my stem cells, that were collected last January, will be infused.  I feel great today and expect the transplant to go smoothly, God willing.  He is with me always and has blessed me with minimal side effects last time and I trust Him to get me through it again.  I am so very thankful for all of you!  I have felt so much love flowing out to me by your concern and compassion, cards, notes and especially your prayers on my behalf.  I am humbled by it and ask God to bless each one of you for me.

     I anticipate being in the hospital about 2 weeks and then camp out at home for a month or so before I venture out into the public.   I can have visitors though, if you want to stop by.  The plan is for mom to stay with me when I get home, along with Kriz and Kerstin who will be in and out with work.  Stephanie is coming too sometime around her traveling and working on her Professional growth points.  Karly is coming up Friday to spend the holiday weekend with me - can’t wait!!

    Thank you for reading my blog. I feel the love! 

Last Fling before treatment.  What an adventure!  Baker Murphy, friend and coworker took us up to cruise the Chicago skyline.  I had so much fun, he let me take control for a little while!!

Yes, we took Kriz with us.
