Hi everyone, Jim here. I'm sitting in the doctor's office this morning as Linda is getting her Torisel treatment. We got a call from Andrea this morning around 5am, and she's gone into labor. We always figured this is the one day we would have trouble with, since Linda couldn't afford to miss a treatment. Any other day and we could charter a plane and get there in a few hours. Our commercial flight out is at 3pm this afternoon (we plan to leave for the airport right after the treatment), and assuming Comair is on time, we'll get there around 5pm. I doubt (and hope) that Andrea isn't in labor all that time, so we'll probably miss the arrival by a few hours. Linda's is a little disappointed by all this, but I'm sure that will change once we get there.
In the meantime, Linda has been having a rough week. Last week's blood test showed low hemoglobin again, so she ended up getting another blood transfusion this Wednesday. That and trouble sleeping has kept her tired all the time. Not that any of this would matter, because nothing will keep her off that plane this afternoon.
Hopefully, we will be able to update the blog again tonight. See you then!

Linda and family,
I just returned from a trip to Chios, Greece, to meet my fiance Mike's grandparents. What a beautiful place with such kind people. While I was there I said prayers and lit candles for all of you in multiple churches and monasteries that I visited. The most powerful place was the site of the death of St. Markella, patron saint of Chios, Greece and a saint in Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy -- what a tangible spiritual place! I am so thrilled to hear positive results, frustrated to hear of a rough week, and excited to hear about the new baby, who will be born into such a special family. God bless you in treatment and travels today!
Love ya!
Lora :)
