Martin Luther King Day message
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the US--a day when we celebrate the civil rights movement and the progress made toward justice and racial equality. This day has also become a national Day of Service when people renew their commitment to public service and community. I hope you will all have a moment to reflect upon Dr. King's ideals of justice, equity and public service.
Last week Jill got the very good news that the cancer had been arrested by the combination of chemo and radiation that she has received over the last month. This means that the transplant will proceed under ideal conditions. Her last radiation treatment was on Wednesday. She is now preparing for the transplant. She will go into the hospital on Wednesday of this week. She will have 6 days of chemo followed by full-body radiation on January 29th and the transplant on the 30th. She will be in the hospital for a total of two weeks during which time she will be isolated as much as possible to prevent infections.
Scott and I will both be going out to Seattle this weekend and staying a week to help out. I'm sure Jill would enjoy hearing from you.
