Todd's status

Hello friends and family! I wanted to give you a quick update on Todd. He is EATING!!!!! We are so happy. His appetite has returned and he is gaining some weight back. He is still at City of Hope. It's amazing to me that we expected him to be home last April or May and he is STILL there. Every time he gets close to getting out of there something pops up or goes wrong. Poor guy. He is on an emotional roller coaster ride. They have him doing physical therapy daily. He can't go very far without needing a walker or wheelchair. This process is so slow. He needs to be more self-sufficient before they will release him. They are also still reducing some meds before that time. He will be going to a rehabilitation center when he is released. This will be great. He will be able to regain strength through rigorous physical therapy. We don't know how long he will be there. We have learned not to plan on anything when it comes to Leukemia!


After the results of a recent bone marrow sample, Todd is in full remission! We are so happy!
Yea for Todd's body!!! This is such a blessing! He loves hearing from you and seeing you. Thank you so much for your love and prayers. He has really needed those prayers this year! Speaking of that, it has been a year since his diagnosis. Can you believe it? So much has taken place since then and we are all changed because of it. Thank you for being with us on this journey. We love you!
