MIRACLE

Mom just called from Houston, and the tests all indicate that there isn't a single sign of cancer in her body! Hallelujah! We're so excited and happy for her to make it through this crazy journey. Her white blood cell count is still extremely low, but the doctors say that it will take many, many months to get everything back to normal. Words can't describe the happiness and gratitude to so many here and up above for her remarkable fight.

RECOVERY

Mom is gradually recovering from her intense year. Her recovery started with Thanksgiving celebrations, Christmas celebrations, Temple sealing celebrations, New Years Celebrations, Birthday celebrations, blanket-making celebrations, and hair returning celebrations.

Her hair is slowly starting return, although in a new color, texture, and curl! Here's her latest do:

While in chemotherapy, mom started to make quilts for each one of the grandkids. By Christmas, she had made 14 new quilts! What a woman!


She heads back to Houston on Wednesday for follow-up exams and consultations. We're optimistic that all will go well.
