They say "Patience is a Virtue"

They say that "patience is a virtue", and this has certainly been a test of patience!

It has been some time since our last post. This has been due, in large part, to the fact that we are still in a holding pattern. We do not yet know when in early 2010 Johns Hopkins will be ready for the transplant. In the meantime, however, I continue to respond well to the Vidaza, which I have been receiving once a month since December 2008. This is administered via IV for 7 straight days. I am feeling well, and staying on course with daily exercise and very nutritional meals. Protein, protein and more protein is very important in the diet to build my body for the transplant to come.

During this time of starts and stops and waiting, I cannot adequately express how much it means to receive so many expressions of support. Support that has been displayed in so many ways by so many people - family, friends, business associates, and even total strangers. To all of you - THANK YOU! So often, just when a little (or big) lift is needed, there will be some form of support received that helps to get me through that moment.

Again, thank you everyone for your continued support, love and prayers.
