100 Day Celebration for Margaret

On Sunday, some friends and family gathered to celebrate an important milestone in Margaret's recovery from leukemia. The first 100 days after a bone marrow transplant is normally the most critical period, and she surpassed that a few days ago. The second reason for celebrating was that the results of her most recent bone marrow test showed no signs of leukemia remaining, along with normal cell growth.

In this photo, Erin and Jessica are presenting their mom with a special ice cream cake to mark the occasion.

Margaret is definitely on the road to recovery. She continues treatment related to the transplant issues. With the love of family & friends, and the dedication of medical & nursing staff, God has given Margaret a new life.
