The 4th year anniversary of Ron's diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia has passed. And the fight continues. He no longer battles leukemia, but the fight is between his body and the side effects of his bone marrow transplant and medications. Next week he will see the doctor who is the Adult BMT director. He periodically sees Ron in regard to his chronic graft versus host disease. I am not anticipating any major changes in treatments or medications. He may order tests to monitor Ron's brain and lung changes. Grateful to be overall stable now.
As many of you know, a special Army friend organized the gift of an IPad for us when Ron relapsed in 2011. His wife died unexpectedly this week. Both of them have been amazingly supportive and caring. That's just who they are. Their community reached far and wide, and you may have seen messages from Mort and Janet. Janet, you are already missed by many. I always admired the way and manner in which both of you kept contact with so many and genuinely cared.

To say that my heart is broken is an understatement. Both Janet and I were honored you found it worth your time to be our friends. I can feel your support and love from across the miles and find it comforting. Memorial service is tomorrow with internment at Arlington National Cemetery in the near future. Thanks Jan for the kind comments. Mort
