Still some variables

But first, we had a good Christmas.  Michael and I were in Texas.  We went to a nearby Methodist Church for a candlelight service on Christmas Eve, and then on Christmas Day, we went to Galveston again to the beach.  We did discover that, going to the beach when it is in the 40's and cloudy and extremely windy is not as enjoyable as when it is sunny and in the 70's with a light breeze.  So our beach time was very limited, but we read in the car by the beach and enjoyed the view.  But, we are already looking forward to going again, maybe when it is a bit warmer.  Mark and Melissa were with family at home.  We talked with them several times and Mark sent some video on the phone.
Sunday, we went to cousin Kris's and had a Christmas get together with Kris and his girlfriend Tonya (who took me the week before to a fabulous performance of the Nutcracker by the Houston Ballet--wow, quite a girl's night out!)  Sunday, we also watched a great KC Chiefs game and finally we're in the playoffs.
About the variables.  We may have to wait longer for the transplant.  The Radiologist said, even if it is working well, the tumor may not show the response right away, so it looks like if that is the case we would have to wait longer.
Also, it still may yet be Michael's own stem cells for the transplant.  So there is a lot to work out yet between the doctors.  Michael is tolerating the Radiation, mainly very tired at times.
Hope everyone continues to have a good Holiday Season.  Thanks for all the prayers.
