Lucky #30

Hello wonderful people :)
  Yesterday may have been the 7th day of February, but today is the 30th day of Kelly's treatment cycle (yippee!)...we are @ MSKCC waiting for her to be called into her FINAL TREATMENT! So, I think what I am trying to say is that yesterday may have been powered by the luckiest number, but today just feels 17% luckier.  And to top it off, it looks like it is going to be a sunny day.  This calls for a delicious brunch in celebration of her strength and many victories over the past 4 months! Mimosas and Bloody Mary's anyone?! 



Today, Dr. Chan (Radiologist) will see Kelly for a final visit.  Next Monday, February 14th, we will meet with Dr. Melinghoff (Chemotherapist/ Head of Oncology team) to find out what the next steps are; future appointments, MRI's, etc. 


Thank you all for your love and support through out every step of the way...it is truly priceless.



Keep up the PMA and prayers


XOXO
Kelly and Ani

    Great to hear that Kelly is doing so well. They are absolute wizards at Sloan-Kettering, and they've done amazing work for our son Jack(http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jackgrimison).

    I know one of these visits we are going to hear a bunch of noise down the corridor and realize it's the Dillon clan! We will keep Kelly in our prayers and otherwise send positive vibes.

    Hi Kelly, Ani and Mari,

    As I was taking the R/S bags out of the car last night, Mark was walking by and when I said.. "all done" he put had a big grin on his face, and his long arms out reached out for the sky in thanks. You guys are so wonderful and although very trying, this has also been such a gratifying experience for a family full of love and so giving. A true example for all. So now, the day you all come home is a bit closer, and we will continue to pray and celebrate all the blessings. We got some rain yesterday, so hopefully it will still be quite green when you come back. Kiki and Kylee can't wait either.

    Ella sends her love to her three tias and we can't wait to give you all great big hugs.

    All our love,

    Tia Maggie, Tio Camilo, Viv, Yoela, Rob, Ella and Carmen

    Kelly,
    Your journey through this continues to amaze me. I always knew you were a strong woman. I continue to put you on the prayer list at church every Sunday. I hope your Valentine's day appointment brings some sweet news that you can return to the land of warmth!

    :) I had a crazy dream last night. We were all in Panama, but it looked more like the Jersey shore (weird, right?) And Nanny still had her dog Sona. Kelly, your hair was short but curly, and we were all riding roller coasters... (Not Nanny, she insisted on staying down below.) :) Not much of a dream, but it's been awhile since I've dreamt of Panama.
    Best wishes Kelly. You are strong and beautiful. We continue to pray for you.
    Love,
    Kathy
