No Pole this Year

Colleen went to clinic yesterday. She can not go to the North Pole because the plane will be filled with more than hematology and oncology patients. She is too close to her transplant, so the risk of infection in such close quarters with about sixty other kids plus adults is too high to take a chance. She is first on the list to "fly" to the North Pole next year. The good news is her hemoglobin is 10.1 and she is doing great. A bit of a cough and sneezing started Monday, hopefully she will recover without incident. She is eating pretty well, but she still lost a few ounces. Her favorite foods continue to be oatmeal, waffles, and macaroni and cheese. We are still asking for continued prayers for Colleen and our entire family.
