Well after taken off work for about 3 months, I'm back to work baby!! I was my husband's caretaker while he got a stem cell transplant for his leukemia. He is doing great! Leukemia free! He will still be in recovery for about 9 more months and many not back to work for about a year. He gets to stay home, recoup, and I get to go back to my trucks. His stem cells were donated by a guy living in Europe. In one year, if both parties agree, we could meet his donor. Wow! So there ya go.

That is wonderful Alicia, I'm betting that you have both grown a lot through this journey. I hope that it is clear sailing from here in. Now get to work.
