Happy New Year!

Today is spring equinox - official new life beginning for our Mother Nature and an official Holiday for the Bahai's who call New Year "Naw-Ruz". My belly is still stuffed with the awesome food in abundance last night -- can we celebrate more often?! And this has been a new life beginning for me as well... I've had a lot of prayer requests during the fast and to my surprise 3 big ones already came true in the last few days! So looks like this will be a very promising and exciting year. At the moment I am waiting to be called for my CAT scan at MD Anderson and I am pretty calm - I know it will all be good, if anything, I am curious to see how much more my residual mass shrank - I'd be super happy if it's around 1 cm or less. And I am confident I am still CANCER-FREE. I even believe that the residual pneumonia is gone :) It's good to believe but facts are nice as well (for extra support) so I'll know the results next Tuesday -- stay tuned!


And thank you for all the prayers for Alese -- I know my prayer for her has been answered and though she is still in ICU I am confident she will make it. I also wish they'd choose MD Anderson -- the quality of care would be better in my humble opinion. She has a rough road ahead of her - second SCT (transplant) -- I wish her all the mighty strength!
