Greetings. 

This is the twenty-first 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.

BREAKING NEWS

Gonna keep it short (but not terribly sweet) today, because I'm afraid there's crappy news to report. Nancy has been readmitted to the hospital. After what was supposed to be a routine clinic visit yesterday morning-- her doctors, though pleased with most of her blood results, were concerned about her neutrophil levels, which indicated a significantly weakened immune system. So the decision was made to check her back into UCLA's Hematology and Oncology Center for further testing and treatment. I tried my best to hang a few family pics and some twinkly lights again last night on the fly-- if only in the hopes of making things at least a little bit cozy, like her last room. But to be honest-- we'd rather not get too comfortable there-- because we're really hoping this stay will only last a few days.  

TODAY'S HURDLE

WELL THAT SUCKS

As you can imagine, after the brief but blissful taste of freedom she enjoyed returning home this weekend-- having to move back into a hospital room was a particularly bitter pill for Nancy to swallow. And because room availability on the leukemia ward is highly limited and competitive-- she had to wait in the outpatient clinic for eight full hours before there was finally a bed available. In other words, nerves were frayed and spirits were low. 

So anything you could do to cheer her up today would be great; a good joke, a goofy phone pic, whatever you think might help her keep smiling would be genuinely appreciated by all of us. Why? Because WE LOVE NANCY, and no matter what... 

ALL IS WELL!
