Home at last!

I finally finished up the stem cell collection. 21 million in all!! It took a lot longer than I had hoped but the positive side of it is that I got them all.

I met with Dr. Tricot yesterday, got the port removed from my neck and some lab work done. I now have 2 weeks at home and it looks like we may be able to start phase two on the 17th of November.

It is so great to be home. I really missed Kristen and Jeff and it is nice to wake up in my own bed with new sheets and a new spread. Thank you to all who contributed.

Colton and Megan have been staying here and holding down the fort. I really appreciate them.

Life is good.

Hi, a belated welcome home, but you expect that from me!! I tried to leave a comment before, but wasn't successful, so I'll try again today. It was a great comment - sorry you missed it - kidding!! I can say that because I don't think it ever posted. Thanks so much for keeping us up to date with your blog. You know we love you and think of and pray for you and your family each day. I had a wonderful time with Kristen and the other young women subbing for Yvonne on Saturday at the region volleyball tournament. It's sometimes hard to count our blessings when there are hard things going on, but I know you know what a blessing your children are. You have such a great family. I'm so glad you can enjoy some time home with them. When's a good time to come visit?
Take care and hope to see you soon.
Love from, Nancy

don't worry Sis. Owens! Everything will be O.K! I am currently working on a collection of motivational quotes and scriptures that I can send out to a bunch of people. As soon as I scan them and get them ready, I'll send you the file. I have 128 of them in total. They are really cool. Here is one of them: In the midst of unbelievable circumstances, BELIEVE. :) hope you feel better soon!
