BENEFIT DINNER GIVEN BY APRIL AND THE VETERANS AT ANDERSON VETERANS HALL!

Just a thought for my grand-kids, my daughter Candice, and her husband Dennis. I love you very much and I am so proud that you are accomplishing this great task of walking your daughter through this very deep valley in her young life...just so you know. The spaghetti benefit dinner-slash-country western band music evening is coming up this weekend and I got my outfit together today. Grandmom 

Here I am serving dinner to the crowd...it was a HUGE success for them and now they have a slightly used silver Honda Accord to get them back and forth for Abigail's UCSF treatment and monthly trips for her Doctor appointments afterward.

Maybe this time I'll win...

There is only so much that can be said for bone marrow transplants. You have one and it is good, then it isn't... so, you have to wait a little bit and go have another one.

street-clothes are traded for hospital gown
making sure that the chest port doesn't leak!
Chest port goes in for chemotherapy (therapy?)
when hairs fall off they itch so you have the nurse shave it all off!
She feels trapped after approximately one month of hospitalization and isolation for her third bone marrow transplant procedure.
