Dear Family and Friends,
We're home. What a great great feeling! Our heads are swimming with the speed of Mike's release from the hospital. His labs last night reported that his white cell count was more than 17,000. YEAH for those "stud" stemmies. A few days ago his count was less than 100. He seriously set hospital records on many levels...Not surprising that he exceeded expectations. Come on... it's Mike. We all know that he's a fighter and a social butterfly. I believe that part of his motivation to recover as quickly as he did was is to get back to celebrating life with all of you. I thank all of you for your part in helping to bring "MY LOVE" home. It is the most wonderful Mother's gift of all time. Thank you for the love, laughter, and encouragement. You helped make a miracle begin for our family. Happy Mother's Day to all our amazing friends who are Mothers. We honor you and wish you health and happiness.
Love, Cookie and Mike
