Breakfast before Round 4

Breakfast before Round 4

Hey all~

Above is the picture of Abby and some of the Team N' Training participants and the mentor Tyler. We all went to breakfast on Sunday morning after their run and it was a lot of fun! These folks have been training since the beginning of March or longer for some marathons and other races. They also have been raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as part of the race. This is a great program and Abby was an Honoree for this last race training schedule. It has been great to get to know some of the participants and if you are reading this post as a participant. Good Luck and Good Job! Thanks for all that you have done to help families like mine that have been affected by blood cancers.

Hopefully next time that Abby is an Honoree she will be able to come to more events and such since she will be in maintenance. but she's not there yet,just a few more months. 1 more High Dose Methotrexate(HDM) (tomorrow) and then on to Delayed Intensification! Yikes!

So, looks like we will start the HDM tomorrow and then a week of rest and then.. DI. Yes we are a bit nervous about it all but also very hopeful and glad that it landed in the summer when my schedule is much more flexible. I'll try to scan in the "road map" for the next treatment, DI, soon, I think it will help you all to see what goes on and what days you can all be praying for Abby's health and side-effects.

Well, that's all. Thanks again TNT participants, Mentors, and Coaches!

Doing some of my internet "catch up" tonight, and checking in on Abby's condition.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and the kids. I know the blogging is therapeutic for you, it's SO heartening to see that you all have continued to fight this battle tooth and nail.

Keep hoping and praying, there's lots of us here who are concerned about Abby and optimistic for recovery!

Love,
Cousin Steve (and Julie)
