cause for celebration

I want to share joyful news. In the midst of the difficult circumstances in my family right now, we had some pretty good news yesterday, even if it seems kind of small. Maggie has had extreme difficulty in having a reasonable hemoglobin level (just so you know, I have no idea what this is). Whatever it is, it means that if it's too low (which it has been in a serious way for far too long now), she has to go to a hospital and sit there for 3-6 hours while she has a blood transfusion. The doctor said yesterday that for the first time in what seems like forever, she didnt' have to have one. Her hemoglobin was finally going up some and she could just go straight home after radiation!!!

We've received so much bad news over the last 5-6 months that something small like this was like a cool breeze all of the sudden blowing across your face when the weather outside has felt like 110 degrees.

Praise God!

:) I ditto Gretchen. And yes, I really just typed the word ditto. It makes me giggle. Similar to a five-year-old but slightly more aggressive.
