Round 3 Completed!

Cheers to a good report!

Melissa's oncologist, Dr. Bierman, accompanied with Maribeth, her nurse, said that she looked GREAT!!!!! Lab work was good, weight is good, no infection has set in, and the side effects are few. Melissa's body is responding well to the treatment! Dr. Bierman says full speed ahead with round 3 chemo today.

Jessamie, Melissa's good friend and sorority sister, joined us during her treatment. We all made chemo a party with a picnic lunch.

Melissa and Jessamie

Melissa, Steve and I believe that all of your prayers and support have contributed to the good news we received today! Motivated Melissa continues to be her positive, strong self! We're all in this together! Round 4.....March 18th....let's make it another good report!

Kindergarten classroom quotes of the week:
  • "Everytime you go get medicine, you lose more hair!"
  • "Miss Maher, why are you outside at recess? I know you have bad cells. Mom told me!"
  • Two girls tug on Melissa's hair as she is tying another child's shoe.  The girls say "It feels real". Melissa says "It is! Please don't pull it, it won't last much longer!"

    Yes, the Power of Prayer is truly Amazing!!! YAHOO!!! on the Good News! Loved the giggles I got with the Kindergarten comments. They alone will keep you going. So cute and innocent. Keep up the great fight Melissa. This is definitely a one sided game. You look wonderful and we will continue to lift you up in prayer.

    Many, many blessings to you and your wonderful family.

    Maggie-
    I think the tagline under the painted glass could be "Melissa's glass is half-full". It surely is. Thinking of you!
