DAILY NANCY UPDATE #121

Greetings. 

This is the one hundred and twenty-first in a series of DAILY NANCY UPDATES I have posted-- now celebrating the fact that even though her post bone marrow transplant and brain seizure recovery continues... the amazing Nancy Neufeld Callaway is in remission and we have kicked her leukemia on its ass.

FRIDAY REPORT

Hello friends.

I know it's been a few minutes since we posted. But we've been kinda busy trying to get Nancy back up and running. The good news is, she's made tremendous strides. Her immune system numbers are getting stronger and stronger-- and the most recent tests still show no signs of leukemia. 

The better news is (better than beating cancer?!) is that her mental clarity is slowly but surely improving as well. 

There are still some lapses in short term memory. And if you haven't been around the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess since she got home, here's basically what that means. You know those times when you go to the kitchen to get your keys-- only to arrive in the kitchen moments later and completely forget what you're looking for? That's kinda what Nancy is battling on and off every day. And when she gets tired-- she can also get a little confused about certain conversational details. But when I get tired, I lose my marbles a little, too. The bottom line is, the doctors have continued to assure us that these conditions are temporary. They can definitely be frustrating for her-- and a bit challenging for me and the kids. But sooner or later, we'll all get through it.

Meanwhile, she's been enjoying some great visits by a few of her close friends-- and our beloved family, as well. In fact, her dear old Dad has been paying his favorite girl routine visits every Sunday.

If you'd like to start calling, emailing, or texting Nancy yourself-- it's fine for you to do that now. Just be patient and understand it may take her some time to respond. And please be careful about trying to schedule visits of your own, since her days are often filled with outpatient trips back to City of Hope, or visits by home healthcare folks to our house-- and it's all a little tough for Nancy to keep track of right now. Hell, it's not that easy for me, either. But I appreciate you reaching out to me directly if you'd like to try and snag some time to see the SSWG in person.

And until next time, just know this. Even though the blog posts may be a little less frequent these days-- the days are definitely getting brighter. So thanks for all of your continuing warm thoughts, good vibes, and healing prayers on her behalf.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!
