Happy (Almost) Hannukah

Greetings from The James,

Yesterday was Gloria's first dose of a nasty chemo drug called AGT.  While we had been told what to expect as far as a reaction, it was still kind of tough to watch as her body struggled to fight the ugliness.  Thank goodness for excellent care by her nurse, Adam (who was also easy on the eyes, lending more credence to Karen's idea that everyone here is an extra on Grey's Anatomy).   Gloria was given some great meds to ease her symptoms, and Karen was thoroughly entertained by some of their conversations that ensued.

Today has been much more peaceful.  We are listening to ocean sounds and dozing off and on.   Tonight is the first night of Hannukah, and although we can't light candles  here in  the  hospital, we  will be celebrating as best we can.

Much love,
Karen, Rebecca, Sidney, and Gloria

  1. Happy Hanukkah to Gloria, Sidney, Karen, and Rebecca! May the remembrance of past miracles light the way for you in that room at the James. You may not be able to light the menorah, but it is shining bright for you in the hearts of many friends and loved ones. Peace, love, and health.

  3. Gloria & Team..I think of you often and send little prayers every chance I get for wellness and strength. The road ahead may be tough..but nearly as tough as Gloria and her Team. Happy Hanukkah to you all and thank you for the postings of progress.
    Many Hugs!
