Greetings.
This is the tenth in a series of DAILY NANCY UPDATES I will be posting until the amazing Nancy Neufeld Callaway is in full remission and we have kicked her leukemia on its ass.

Also-- I'm sorry to learn that some of you have had difficulty posting comments. And sorrier still that I'm a TV producer, not an IT specialist. But maybe this link will help if you're having trouble telling Nancy exactly how much you love her:
HEADLINES
No pictures today. I just want to tell you this. Last night, I drove to the hospital late because I knew Nancy was going to be receiving her second big round of chemo and I wanted to be by her side. So after putting on a gown, mask, and gloves-- I slipped into her room-- just in time to see the nurse administering the meds. They were bright red-- slowly being injected into her PICC line. But the minute I saw Nancy's face, I knew she was going to be okay. That she didn't even really need me or anyone else there. She was just laying peacefully on the bed, with an eye mask on, and a phone to her ear, listening to some prerecorded meditation. She looked so peaceful. So determined. So incredibly strong... that I didn't say a word. I just sat down quietly and watched her with amazement and pride. I almost left again-- without even letting her know I'd been there-- just so she could remain in her own powerful space, without feeling obligated to do or say anything beyond will herself to wellness. But I waited until she was finished. And when she slowly removed her eye mask-- she immediately lit up with a smile. And in that wonderful, loving instant, I knew that everything would be alright.
TODAY'S HURDLE
She just needs to rest and let the meds do their work. Please think good thoughts for her.
POSTSCRIPT
I'm onstage in front of a couple hundred reporters at the Winter Television Critics Association New Show Launch for APB. So I'll be tap dancing like a fool-- doing everything I can to make people watch the show we've worked so hard on and are so proud of. But my head and my heart will be right back in room 6117 at UCLA-- watching my incredible wife wage the most extraordinary battle I've ever seen.
WE LOVE NANCY AND WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED.
Love you both.
