Update on Mary June 24, 2005
Hi Friends: I spoke with Mary today and not only does she sound terrific, she reports that she is feeling better each day.
She asked me to share with all of you that she is now at Day 58 since the transplant procedure was done and that the donor's cells have been doing their intended job. She's gaining strength and so happy to be home with her husband enjoying the beautiful summer weather on her patio.
She laughed with amazement when I told her that I had just mailed off the 19th notebook binder of well wishes to her. She is just so incredibly moved by the outpouring of love and concern you've shown for her.
So, a big THANK YOU and HUG from Mary for your continuous support!

MARY IS HOME!!!!
Mary was released from the hospital this week, exactly one month after the bone marrow transplant procedure, and is so happy to be home! The graft "took" and she reports that her donor marrow is making wonderful cells, ALL FOR HER!
She sends her thanks for all the wonderful messages and letters of support , encouragement and humor that have been pouring into the PP&M Website email and Coffeehouse since early December....
So, a warm, gracious hello from Mary... and she'll be sure to keep the extended PP&M family posted as to how she's doing.
