In other news, Joe has been fighting off a cold for the past week. Fortunately, his counts have been high enough that he has been able to handle it. Joe's just been a bit sniffly and stuffy at times.
Yesterday, Joe went to the dentist for a thorough check-up that is required before transplant. It went well for the most part. He just has to floss and stimulate his gums more. :) And just so you know, Joe is normally very good about flossing...he was just getting mixed messages about flossing when he was neutropenic. Fortunately, for now, that is not a concern. Plus, when it comes to Joe's teeth, we trust his dentist. :)
Our buddy Eddie is working with Maria at CLLF to hold a bone marrow drive in North Carolina. Yippeeeee! Thanks Eddie.
Congratulations to Ming-Chen and Bill who are parents of a darling baby boy as of September 21. So many baby boys this year!

Karen, just reading your blog is an encouragement to me! I know that sometimes what appears in "blogworld" is a "cleaned up" version of what is occuring, nonetheless, you are doing an incredible job of staying positive. Thanks for spreading the word about the blood drives and encouraging us to sign up to be donors...the specialist that saw Livi at John Hopkins is himself a donor.
"God's providence is His constant care for and His absolute rule over all His creation for His own glory AND the GOOD of His people." God bless, GretchenP.S. Livi had her first dose of Gleevec today...so far so good. She is now on two chemotherapies.
