Overdue Update

HAPPY EASTER!

I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, memorable Easter Sunday.

Randell, William and I arrived in Long Beach on Friday night. The boys and I have spent the last two days enjoying the beach and making wonderful memories. Unfortunately Randell had to fly home today but, we hope to see him again in a couple of weeks. 

Our first appointment at City of Hope is tomorrow - I am looking forward to the new chapter in William's treatment plan, and I am no longer scared, nervous or anxious

After tomorrow's meetings we will have a clear understanding and outline of William's new protocols. We will also have a rough schedule and calendar to work with so that we can plan a trip to Camp McDonald, Disneyland and Lego World. Obviously we will also be planning a couple of trips back to Sacramento but, I think it is safe to assume that Randell will be coming here more than we go there.

I want to send a HUGE thank you to all of the fabulous, loving, and wonderful nurses at Sutter Hospital.  Over the last year we have spent more time with those nurses there than we did with our families. The care and love that was given to William is just amazing, and I truly believe that a big part of William's success in fighting this disease has been due to the friendship, love and commitment he received from his nurses. Thank you to all of the Sutter family members for everything you did... You will be dearly missed!

I have received some emails asking for our new mailing address, I promise to get that posted here the site within the next week. In the meantime, please continue to post messages of encouragement for William here on the blog. He truly loves reading your messages!

Keep on Keeping on. LiveStrong in God's love and promise of healing. LiveStrong in the good memories that get us through the tough times, and LiveStrong in the kindness, Love and commitment of our friends and family.

My family and I were just talking about Lego World and where it was located... how funny to sit down at the computer and find out the answer, moments later, from your post! And... we have a question we hope you'll be able to answer for us after you go there: Are the big Lego structures that are on display only, not a ride... are the pieces glued together? We will anxiously await your answer! Happy Easter!!!

Sounds like things are starting to look better each and everyday. I think about you guys all the time. I hope & prey everything goes well with your new move. It's so hard being far away from loved ones. But we do what we have to do. Hang in there.
Take care
