No News Is Good News!

Merry Christmas
or
::Insert Other Holiday Greeting Here::

As the title states, no news is good news!
My first maintenance cycle has started, and no problems to report!

This year I can say, without a doubt, that I have received the greatest Christmas gift EVER!
All my counts are up, I feel good, and the Doctor says I look great. I'm healthy and I'll be able to spend my entire holiday at home. No trips to Sloan and no backpacks to lug around. Hopefully I can use this time to gain back the 10 lbs I lost during my latest Sloan "vacation." I shouldn't have a problem with that, after all we do have our 7 fish Christmas Eve dinner!! (If you don't know what that is, just ask an Italian)

But seriously,
I am incredibly thankful this Christmas.
The sheer outpouring of love and support that my family and I continuously receive has been incredible. So many people have gone above and beyond and have helped to make this burden easier to bear.

Finally, there is one last omnipresent deity that deserves a standing ovation...

I wouldn't have been able to get through any of this without God. He has surrounded me with the right people, put me in the right place, and given me the physical and mental strength I need to keep going. I am so thankful for His grace, It never stops! It's blessing, after blessing, after blessing!

He truly is amazing... I guess that's why he's God :-)
