Happy New Year!

Happy 2013 to all! As I write this, Sidney and Gloria are napping on the couch in front of the gas fireplace at our new temporary abode. That's right...Gloria has been discharged from The James and is now comfortably ensconced at The Apartment. Rebecca, Sidney and Gloria had a quiet evening at The Apartment, ringing in the New Year in relative peace, mostly trying to avoid the terrible din coming from Times Square on the TV. We enjoyed the quietude of no nurses stopping by to interrupt our conversation, and Sidney kept us entertained with youtube parodies of Nazi Germany out to get Justin Bieber.

The whole situation is rather surreal but we are adjusting. Mom's counts have increased, which is what allowed her to leave the hospital, but either the medication or the simple fact of the donor cells beginning to engraft is contributing to great fatigue. But she is eating and sleeping well and is quite happy to be free of her hospital room. We all are glad to be able to cook good food for ourselves and to have some time living together in general comfort.



Thanks to all of you for your love and prayers. We continue to enjoy hearing from you...it helps lift our spirits! For those of you that want to send cards or mail, the address of the apartment is:

2585 Marblevista Blvd.
Columbus, OH 43204

Lots of love and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!

Rebecca, Karen, Sidney, and Gloria

    To ALL you sweethearts in that warm place in Columbus ... BLESS YOU!
    We're sending our love and truly, truly best wishes for 2013.
    Know that we'll have an "Oregon comfy bed" ready ... AND delicious salmon for snacks, GG, as soon as you and Sid can get out to our beautiful Pacific Northwest!
    Love you ALL!

    PS How many cases of award winning Oregon Pinot Noir shall we get ready for the feast when you arrive in Corvallis? ... just wondering....

    Hey GG Team. So glad to see relaxing pic of the new place. Also so glad to see counts go up. Each day is closer to the goal line! Just like in football, each 10 yards brings you closer to making that goal and that is how you win!

    We continually think of you and are so glad to see that everyday brings you one step closer. We miss seeing you and talking to you during this ordeal. Please know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers!

    We love you all!
    Denise & Barb

    I am glad to know that you are in The Apartment now. You are in my thoughts! Everyone at Sinclair is always asking about you, wishing you well, and of course, quoting you. You'll be glad to know your "big girl panties" mantra has become part of Sinclair lore. Also, Nina and Christie have assured me that my occasional slip in vocabulary could never shock them, given what my four walls have heard in the past :-)
