Greetings.
This is the sixty-fourth 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
Unfortunately, Nancy is still at City of Hope Hospital, fighting some type of infection that's causing her to suffer high temperatures, terrible headaches, and nausea. The good news is, most of her blood work looks normal. No white cell spikes or anything that suggests relapse of any kind at this point. And her immune system numbers are strong as well. But we're still waiting on results from several culture studies that will come in over the next couple of days.
Meanwhile, her doctors have begun to speculate about whether or not the infection might have been caused by the lumbar puncture she had last week at UCLA. Trouble is, the only way to determine that is by... you guessed it... having another lumbar puncture.
So God bless her, Nancy once again endured spinal tap #7, and those fluid samples are now also being tested. And the docs have also given her some stronger pain meds to keep the migraines at bay and let her get some much needed rest.
Thankfully, our daughter Clem came home last night for Spring Break-- so at least her presence has helped us all have some version of a Happy Easter-- and seeing her walk into the room today certainly brought a smile to Nancy's face.
Your healing thoughts and loving prayers are particularly appreciated right now. We really want to bring the Sunshiny Superwarrior Goddess home.
Oh, and one more thing. I'm loathe to post it, because everyone has already been so unbelievably kind to us over the past three months. But because so many people have texted or called to ask-- here's the link to the meal train website that one of our dear friends put together.
Thanks again for all of your heartwarming generosity and support.
WE LOVE NANCY, and...
ALL IS WELL!
