Hi Maryanne, Glad things are looking up. Even if I can't lend you the mother-in-law, do let all of us know your concerns. You never know who might know someone who could help you out. BB

Maryann,
Thanks for continuing to chronicle your path through all of this, making sure the path is so well-marked for others who might find themselves in the same "forest"...
Best to you,

FANTASTIC NEWS, Maryanne. Way to go girl. I have not been on the site for awhile, so was ecstatic to read your post. I am just so thrilled for you. All those thoughts, prayers and good wishes, and your amazing strength did the trick. Enjoy being at home.
Lots of love

Welcome home and may you only hear positive news from this day forward. I am sure your dog was thrilled to see you as were your kids. As my family always says and I am sure it is true of you too, Moms are the glue to the family. Continued good news is what I wish for you and keep up that incredible fighting spirit. You have been a true inspiration to so many and made believers out of all of us. Never give up is what I have learned from you.

Sure must feel good to be home at last! You have been through so much. Now that you are in remission hopefuly a donor can be found and you can put this behind you. Your children must be extremely excited that you are home. My prayers are with you.
