Ronald McDonald House

Hannah did great this morning. We are home and so glad today is over! We are officially done with the Induction Therapy phase and Hannah doesn't have to take steroids again for a couple of months. We should get the test results from the bone marrow biopsy back Tuesday or Wednesday.



When we have to spend the night for early morning appointments, we have gotten to stay at the Ronald McDonald House which is very close to the hospital. This picture is only half of the building. It is staffed by almost all volunteers. Different companies, restaurants and groups donate and serve breakfast and dinner almost every day. It is a very special place - especially for families who have to stay there for long periods of time. The atmosphere there is like no other place we've been. All of the families are so friendly and there is an immediately felt common bond. We are thankful to have such a great place to stay!

So glad that you are getting to stay at RMH! I told Sunni to let you know how wonderful it was and such a blessing to families like ours that have to make the journey from South GA. We have stayed there many times with Helen's appointments and procedures and I couldn't recommend it enough. Ya'll are in my thoughts and prayers!
