On the Road to Recovery - Good News!

Hello All! It's been a while since we've updated - thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. Overall, he is doing great! He and my mom are based at home now and travel back to City of Hope two to three times a week to have blood draws, review blood and enzyme levels, discuss next steps, and check in with their Doctor.  My dad is slowly gaining more and more energy daily - he tires easily but he is able to drive himself around, runs small errands, and has been coming to see his granddaughters play soccer and do every day "life" activities that you and I are blessed to be able to do every day without thinking twice about it. What a blessing!!!

Here is a picture of him at Aubree's third birthday party on Saturday.  I can't tell you how special it was for him to be there.



Guys, we wanted to celebrate my Dad's recent triumph and raise money in his honor for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society via the Light the Night event once again this year.  My sister and I have plans in the works to do some sort of service project related to cancer patients every year, and this year we are raising funds for #Team Bill that will benefit LLS.  We would greatly appreciate your support and every dollar counts.  Every cent is important.  Please contact me if you would like flyers to take to work.  If you work for a large corporation that may be interested in a corporate sponsorship, contact me! Please consider donating. This is such a wonderful, deserving charity - all in the name of celebrating my dad's turbulent year.  The best part about the Light the Night event this year is that my Dad has been selected as this year's survivor honoree.  We will be speaking during the main program that evening and sharing his story while also sharing on the mission of LLS.  We'd LOVE for you to be there if you can.  CSUB Amphitheatre, Nov. 7th, 6 pm.  Save the evening for Dad! :)

It is a blessing he is here with us and has reached remission once again.
