First, THANK YOU, thank you to the army of our friends and family and even some of the people we didn't know, that have been here for Alisha and me. Thank you for responding to my posts, that brought me a lot of comfort. If I haven't thanked you personally or forgot who sent what, please know we are eternally thankful for you. My kids were beyond blessed as well. 

Alisha had the marrow biopsy today. She had been dreading the pain for 2 months. I couldn't be in there with her because of rules that I am doing my best to stay positive and submit to. Alisha was sedated and the procedure went well. Apparently the drugs were successful because Alisha thought she was there for 5 minutes.   

Alisha is resting, Ruby is playing with the train under the tree. Austin is researching IOS differences throughout the year. Lilly is doing "homework"( I'll go check after I am done). Griffin is out in the dark playing with his buddies in the snow. Tonight this is a peaceful house. I am thankful for the rest. We have a ton to deal with down the road, but not tonight.
