Auntie Em Update

Just got an e-mail from Auntie Em's mom (reminder: Auntie Em is the 2 1/2 yr. old aunt of our grandson from his mother's side of the family who had Stage 4 neuroblastoma). Auntie Em is about to start her 6th and final round of chemo, and then will have surgery later in the spring to remove the remnants of the largest tumor that was in her little tummy. She's had a few setbacks recently, bacterial infections in her permanent IV thingy and they haven't yet been able to do the stem cell harvesting due to a very low platelet count, but is doing much better now.

Thanks again to everyone for the good thoughts & prayers sent her way...keep 'em coming.
