Well this update is long overdue.

Life has been wonderfully normal. John is doing great! I can't believe that we are going on 2 years post transplant (Nov. 5). It is so hard to believe the funny 2 year old (almost 3), was the little guy that fought so hard to live.

Everyday I look at him in true belief, faith, joy and love. Our prayers were answered, we are enjoying the life of our little boy.

We have just lost two people to AML. Pauline and Hawk. Pauline was in the bone marrow unit when we were there and Hawk went into transplant in April '05. Hawk was only 3 years old. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families. I can't even imagine the pain thier families are enduring.

When I hear of others struggles, it brings me back to our endless days and nights we spent in the hospital and makes me appreciate even more the miracle that we were blessed with.

The kids love John to death. He is always great for some entertainment. Always keeping us laughing.

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. I just wanted to do a quick update to let everyone know that we are doing great. I will update with a new photo - very soon.
******************
Now that was quick. Here is a photo from June and some in the photo album from August.

Love, Tammie
Thank you for your prayers.
