I talked to Ellen today. She drove herself to work so she says she's doing well. Her white blood cell count was normal (low but normal) so that's good news as well. She also sent out this email not too long ago:
"So I'm getting my head shaved at work on the 24th at noon. You are
all welcome to come. They are throwing a party for it. Joe, the
Deputy Auditor, is also shaving his head as support and for fun. He
is nervous. It is hilarious. Austin, the State Auditor, is making
me make him keep his promise. Per the request of Emily (my niece),
I am going to dye my hair bright colors for the event.
Should be fun. Let me know if you can make it so I can get you lunch.
Ellen"
It sounds like Ellen is making things as positive as possible. Have fun with the head shaving party! Ellen's co-workers must be a wonderful group of people--so supportive. Glad to hear Ellen can be at work.
ReplyDeleteEllen,
ReplyDeleteDavid Haviland here. I just got on facebook and have been tracking down BYU friends. Amy Rosier passed along this blog site. Jill and I are so sorry about the cancer news. What a bummer. You will certainly be in our prayers.
Please drop us a note. We'd love to catch up with both you and Leticia. Jill and I are both on Facebook. You can also reach me at dhaviland@ucdavis.edu, or through our family's blog site http://jillhaviland.blogspot.com
We look forward to hearing from you. Sorry we are so far away and won't be able to attend the party on the 24th.
David and Jill Haviland
