"Everything Remains the Same”
Just writing to say there is no change in Bill’s status. His blood work remains the same. He still needs platelets everyday, and the good news. No Fever. Since he is still anemic, his energy level is low and he can take a nap whenever he wants. Results from the Bone Marrow Biopsy will be ready on Monday. Those findings determine the next step.
Janine, Don, and Maggie will be in for the weekend. So I will get my Maggie “fix’. We will not take her to the hospital because of the C-DIFF bacteria.
Kari’s baby is due this week, if “Andrew” decides to be born in September, and not October. Kari and Jeff are ready for his arrival. Laura (Jon’s wife) is on hold to help Kari, until I feel comfortable to leave Bill and spend a week in Charlotte.
Please remember......No flowers, no fruit, no visitors. All have bacteria that Bill has no resistance to right now. And, the room phone has been unplugged. For our West Virginia friends that are just getting word, sorry it took so long. Cards should be sent to the house. With any luck, Bill should come home next week, maybe.
This verse was on a card from Amy and Ali, and was just right for the moment.
The smallest things can change out lives-
One hand reaching out to another…
One prayer whispered in faith…
One moment that shines with His presence.
Thinking of you...
Praying for you...
and wanting you to know how much we care.
Bill and I are overwhelmed with the love, concern, and well wishes you have shared with us. Thank you all.

Sometimes "the same" is really good! No steps backwards is a step forward. Look at me, the philosopher! I knew I was good at something, just didn't know what it was! Taking naps whenever sounds like paradise to me! There are advantages! So glad Maggie is coming to visit - puts life in perspective and gives so much joy!!
We are up to our proverbial ears in wedding preparation - 2 months to plan has its advantages, - not able to obsess as much!
Hope the Hubers can attend!
Love and Prayers,
Gail
We haven't canceled our plane tickets for Pittsburgh yet. We have a BIG 4 weeks coming up in Bill's recovery. We did cancel our plans to go to the Penn State/Ohio State football game that same weekend. (And all you football fans, those tickets are not available. See you next year Jim)
Love to all of you,
Nancy
Uncle Bill,
Glad to hear signs of improvement. Time heals all and that what challenges us makes us stronger. Looking forward to your recovery and maybe getting a family golf outing together on the links. Wishing all the best of luck to Jeff and Kari on the upcoming child birth. Hopefully with the birth of my daughter brought a Stiller Super Bowl, with Maggie a Colt Super Bowl, and well "younz" no where I am going with this. Good luck and God Bless, in the thughts and prayers of me and Wendy.

Bill & Nancy,
So glad the fever is staying away. This sounds like a good move forward. Bill, join my club, I can also take a nap anytime I want. This has been going on for a long time but going back to work as made that part of my life a little inconvenient. Hang in there and pray for our family as we cope with Ben's death this week end.
Love,
Mary Jo
Bill and Nancy,
It is just wonderful to hear about your improvements every day. I love your explanations, Nancy, and I think all of the pictures are terrific. Maggie is darling. How nice that you will get to see Janine, Don and Maggie this weekend. Can't wait to hear about the new baby.
I leave for Phoenix tomorrow so I will be off line for about 1 1/2 weeks. Jeff will pick up the blog this next week and you know that Karen and Barbara will keep me informed.
Jeff is going to the Penn State vs Michigan game this weekend with our son Ron. Then it is back to packing for him.
Take care, Bill, and here's hoping for more good news on Monday!
Love,
Pam and Jeff

Nancy and Bill,
So glad the news is improving. Can't believe Bill may be going home soon. What a blessing. How are you doing, Nancy? Give Maggie a big hug and kiss from us. Remember, the beach is waiting for us.
Love you both,
