Well, it's official. We will be traveling like most of the rest of the country. We went in bright and early this morning (Maggie was not too impressed as she didn't go to sleep until around 1:00am last night) for more chemo and a count check. Maggie's counts look great. Her ANC (ability to fight infection) is at 1600, which is great, and her hemoglobin is holding steady at 8.6 (they don't transfuse unless it's under 8). Along with the chemo, Maggie also received her final flu shot for the year, which of course she was not too pleased.
So, we are going to my family's side this afternoon until Saturday. It will be nice to again celebrate with more family. Back when Maggie was diagnosed, we thought we would be home for Christmas due to low counts or even in the hospital, but being in this new phase of treatment, we are much more mobile and can do more "normal" activity.
We want to thank you all for your continued prayers. We pray that you also have a joyous holiday and Merry Christmas. Be thankful for all that you have and cherish those special moments with family.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks for reporting this good news. It makes me happy this Christmas to know that you can enjoy it with extended family. Drive safely!
Love. Great Aunt Phyllis
Hope you have a blessed Christmas with your darling little Maggie. I suppose you made it to Great Grandma Lehman's house. It sounds as though Maggie is doing so much better. Love to you all Sandy
All through the holidays you, Maggie and your husband, were, and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know how I can help in ANY WAY! Much love to you
