Birthday Gift!

We got a great birthday gift yesterday from the doctors and staff at the hospital. According to our standard 2 week scheduling we were to be hospitalized over Thanksgiving and her stem cell transplant occurring over Christmas. But the doctors agreed to put off the last round one week which would delay the transplant a week (which we were assured would be okay for Greta) and would allow us all to be home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas! I was doing a little dancing at that news! Although we are a little cautious at getting too excited as you never know what fever or illness will do to change that schedule. But for now we have a lot of hope that we will get to spend the holidays together with the whole family. That also means we have almost 3 weeks at home.

We are counting our blessings!
Love
The Betz Family
