Greetings.
This is the sixty-seventh 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
See this pretty picture of lantana flowers?
Guess who took it?
That's right. She's feeling so much better, that today... NANCY GOT OUT OF BED AND TOOK A WALK with our sweet friend Karen. Around the hospital. And right out the front door to enjoy a beautiful day at the City of Hope.
Why?
Because the doctors here are very pleased with her recovery-- and are not only paring back and eliminating the mind-blowing (literally) assortment of pharmaceuticals she's been on over the past six days to control her spinal infection-- but they're openly encouraging her to flex her tired muscles as much as possible.

Oh, and also because SHE'S THE DAMN SUNSHINY SUPERWARRIOR GODDESS!
We're hoping she finally blows this popsicle stand by tomorrow or Saturday, at the latest. Stay tuned for further details. But meanwhile, thank you so much for all of your sweet calls, messages, emails, texts, thoughts, and prayers during this whole unexpected and difficult ordeal-- AKA "bump in the road" to her recovery.
WE LOVE NANCY, and...
ALL IS WELL!

Or, if you just feel like keeping your fluids to yourself and sending us some food instead, that's fine, too.

ReplyDeleteThe "bump in the road" reminded me of a very old poem a girlfriend gave me when I was about 20 and I've always remembered it. It has helped me get through some tough times just knowing it's only a "bend in the road". Enjoy, hope it helps.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we come to life's crossroads
And we view what we think is the end.
But God has a much wider vision
And he knows that it's only a bend-
The road will go on and get smoother
And after we've stopped for a rest,
The path that lies hidden beyond us
Is often the path that is best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger,
Let go and let God share your load
And have faith in a brighter tomorrow-
You've just come to a bend in the road.
