My Blog

OK, not Vegas, but Atlantic City.  It was my birthday this past weekend, and because Morgan was doing so well, I was able to slip away for a couple of days with some friends.  I am way too old to stay out until 3am two nights in a row, but somehow I held my own.  I had thought that I should have a “do over” year, being that this past year has not been so great.  Then I realized, why would I want to do over this past year?!

I have not added to the blog as of late because it all came crashing down on me the day we had to re-admit Morgan back into the hospital for her GVHD.  It honestly was the worst experience/nightmare I never want to repeat.  To not have any control to fix Morgan’s hurt was paralyzing.  The doctors feel we are on the other side of the “major” danger zone of GVHD, so I am beginning to breathe again.  Doesn’t hurt that Morgan’s appetite is back with a vengence, and I am once again Julia Child, constantly cooking for the little princess, who gained back 4 of the lost 12 pounds so far.

I lost my voice somehow over the weekend, but probably would have anyway when Morgan announced to me last night while we got ready for bed – “Mom, you know what?  I’ve never felt better!”
