Jill Update

Jill passed away on January 20, 2013 after a 10 year battle against the disease and the side effects of her many treatments. This blog will now serve as a memorial to Jill.

Holiday Greetings

This posting is coming to you from Seattle where, Tom, Harley, Amy and Elise are visiting Jill, Sylvia and Scott for the holidays. We all celebrated a delayed Christmas on Monday and have been visiting since.

Jill learned today that the transplanted stem cells are 95 percent grafted based on an examination of her bone marrow. This means that her progress is right on target. The clinic has reduced the frequency of check-ups. Jill still tires easily but is noting improvements in her stamina each week.

Tom, Harley, Amy and Elise are getting to see some of the city and enjoy the Pacific Northwest winter climate. We wish you all a happy and safe New Year.

At Mom & Dad's last night, Mom said, "Did you see whose wedding photo was in the paper today?" I hadn't so I looked . . . lo & behold, there you were! I told Mom all about your HUGE photo album with the link in this blog -- will have to send it to her.

Sounds like you had a very merry Christmas and the prognosis is good for 2006! We had a great Christmas and just sent Taylor on his way back to S. Cal. FYI, ran into Georgette and Andy Hobson at Fred Meyer the other day. They are doing dandy.

Keep it up and we're looking forward to a follow-up on those margaritas we had down there across from the ballpark (that was a long time ago!) when everyone's home again.
