Today is officially Day 333 and with the holidays upon us, we feeling nothing short of completely blessed! Nick received the "OK to travel" as Day 300 approached. To date, he has taken one trip with Jon to Chicago for Little Greek business and one with Lauren to San Francisco (1/2 work and 1/2 "Father/Daughter time"). Nick really missed not traveling this year because of his illness, so its an important milestone that he's "on the go" again!
For Thanksgiving, we were all together in our St. Pete place. Just before dinner, we all went down the street and watched the sunset (one of Nick's new favorite things to do). It was beautiful, but not nearly as beautiful and precious as the time we were able to share with all of our children.
Nick's blood counts are all slowly heading in the right direction. Moffitt continues to reduce his meds, but very slowly to avoid any issues. He's feeling well and sleeping better at night. He still wonders if his full head of jet black hair will ever return, but I simply reply, "Honey, don't worry, you've got a great Sean Connery look go'in on!" The truth is, none of us will ever really be the same after what we've experienced. At least I hope not. I hope that we all went on this journey with Nick and that it changed us for the better. Hopefully we've all learned to appreciate every day as if it REALLY is our last one on earth.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Please know that I will never forget your love, care, concern, and prayers during this difficult year. I keep you in my heart and prayers. May you be blessed this Christmas in every way.
God's Perfect Peace,
