Things have been stable since the last post.  We were able to get mom up to the cabin two weekends ago which was a big wish of hers come true!  She has not been able to get up to her favorite place in a very long time!  We enjoyed family time, s'mores by the fire, the grandkids all put on a little play on honor of their "gaga" which was adorable, and the weather was beautiful.  Thanks to those who helped us prepare by making food for us for the weekend! It was amazing!

We got our pictures back from the Easter photo shoot the weekend before, thanks to the amazing Mick Schulte for these captured moments that we will cherish forever. If you need pics done she is your gal - https://mickschultephotography.com

Mom continues to feel overall well and continues on IV antibiotics at home to treat the bone infection in the roof of her mouth (vanco and cefepime) at least through May.  Her counts are stable so she has not started any treatment for the AML.  She continues to go to the clinic twice per week for blood and platelet transfusions as needed.  We feel very blessed to continue to get to enjoy good quality time together as a family.  

As I wrote previously, we continue to hope and pray for as much good time with mom as possible and we are soaking up all the moments that we can.  We set up a google drive folder and would like people to submit a video if you can - you can just take the video on your phone and upload it to the folder.  This is a sort of living memorial if you will and the video can be whatever you want to say to her or to share a favorite memory about her.  She is absolutely loving all the videos we have received so far! 

The only hitch we have found is you need to have access and the google drive app on your phone - if you would like access, comment with your email below and we can add you - we have added all those who have requested previously.  Also, if you had trouble and sent your video in a different way please request access so that we can have them all in one place (although I'm thankful for everyone that was able to figure out a workaround as I'm not tech savvy!!).
