December 17 - Evening; We are home

After what has turned out to be a very long day, and now 10:00 p.m., we are at long last home.  Dennis and his fragile immune system are now on their own, as his bone marrow works to build new blood cells.  There is no more support of antibiotics or antivirals for protection.  The Karmanos staff sent us home with not one, but two boxes of surgical masks. Healthy adult guests are very welcome to visit;  but, to stay on the "safe side", will be provided with a surgical mask to wear while here.

There is a bonus - You may take your mask, and a few extras for the children in your life, home with you!  The photo ops will be priceless, we're sure!

There will be many follow-up appointments with his doctors as Dennis recovers, but the biggest obstacle is now behind him.  Everything possible has been done to knock this beast of a disease into remission. Our heartfelt thanks are being sent out to each of you. Thank you for your love, your unwavering support, your notes, and your prayers. We are very thankful to be home for Christmas, and feel very blessed to have such a wonderful set of family and friends surrounding us.

We hope you will have a warm and beautiful Holiday season.

Affectionately,
Dennis & Deb
