Sister Stephanie Serves Sick in Chicago

We have Tim's aunt with us this week. Sr. Stephanie is a Franciscan nun who has been running a retreat center in Abingdon, Virginia, for the last eight years. She took Tim to the hospital today, which gave me time to run a bunch of errands. Tim's blood numbers were pretty good yesterday. He's not neutropenic, so we're hoping to get to a movie this week. Tim's a little tired of not seeing anyplace but the cancer center or our house.

I spoke to the transplant coordinator at NMH today. She confirmed that Dr. Tallman is waiting for the results of the February 19 bone biopsy before deciding on the next step. So we won't know when the transplant will begin until the biopsy results are back. Since that takes a week, it will probably be March before we know where we go next.
