Coming up on the 1 year mark

Not calling it an "anniversary" but we are coming up on the one year mark since Wendi was diagnosed with leukemia.  Last year at this time we were enjoying summer vacation and getting ready to celebrate Wendi's birthday.  Then the completely unexpected and difficult phone call from LDS Hospital that Wendi needed to drop everything and get checked in.  That was Saturday August 9 last year.  Wendi has done remarkably well since then.

As she posted in March she was declared in 100% remission and 100% of her blood is from her brother who generously acted as her blood marrow donor.  Since that time she has continued to get stronger and has stayed in good health.  We have had one or two small roadbumps along the way but very minor in the grand scheme of things.

As we are coming up on the one year mark of her fight we are going to celebrate how well she is doing by participating as a family in a 5K   #wendiwillwin
