Mac's appointment today was quick and simple. His blood levels are ok (and I mean that relatively) but they anticipate a RBC transfusion by Monday. He also met with a Child Life Specialist (that's what they call the people who communicate and play with the kids) who is helping him write a letter to Peter and Annie all about Aplastic Anemia and what is going on with him and what St. Jude's is like. They really have a great sibling support system here b/c they know that Mac's illness affects the whole family.

We're off until Monday. We'll find things to do around Memphis for the weekend. Mo is not good at sitting and waiting, so we'll be entertained I'm sure. There is a Dr. Seuss room here that has a quote on the wall that says "But it turns out allright you see, And I go back to being...me". During times of trouble, who better to quote than Dr. Seuss?!!

Thanks again for all the prayers and thoughts and notes and packages!

  1. "But it turns out allright you see, And I go back to being...me!" That's a perfect quote for Mac and all the patients at St. Jude! The rest of us could do well to incorporate that attitude in our own lives!

    Y'all are always in our thoughts and prayers!
