OK, today Adele was at church to pick up flowers and get them to Mom. Of course the one person there, let her know that Derrick Dull had passed on Sat AM. Derrick had leukemia and a bone marrow transplant early this year, and just got married last month. His leukemia came back and he was back in Sloan Kettering.
This did no good for Adele, but she would have found out anyway as she had been watching his blog on and off, so it is probably good that I was home and we can talk about everything now. I did some loud talking and cajoling after she said something about not being sure about her BMT. End result is, I believe we are both more confident in the treatment, although it is a scary procedure, less scary since she is getting her own bone marrow. I believe as the doctors said, it is the best and most aggressive treatment available for her. I need her to be around for a long time helping with the spoiling of all of our grandchildren.
She went to lunch with Mom & Dad @ Luther Acres and is not back yet - 2pm - so I am assuming that she is having a good time talking.
Next week on Tues - Wed - Thurs we will have 3 more days at John Hopkins. Unless things change, I will have more to say then. Thanks for all the prayers, keep them going for strength in our hearts and allowing God to do the worrying for us.
