Maggie and Martha flew in last night, or rather, early this morning at around 12:30AM after a very long delay in Newark that almost postponed their return to Austin until today (well… later today.) But they are here, happy, and seemingly well adjusted back to Texas time.

Martha, Katy and Maggie have been wandering around Athens since they arrived. Their hotel is beautiful but the room is pretty small. And things are going great. They’ve sampled Greek wine, eaten gyros and other various Greek-requisite items and are just having a grand ol’ time.

After a hair-raising week of “oh no!” she’s off on a big jet airliner. She’s flying to Greece as I type.

Dr. Loukas didn’t bring us the news we were looking for. But it’s what we’ve got. Maggie’s white count is at 400, twice yesterday’s count and infinitely higher than it was when we checked in on Monday so we’re headed in the right direction. But we didn’t need a doctor to tell us she still […]

We just got some disturbing news from Dr. Loukas. Maggie’s CEA* has crept up to 3.8. Now, that alone isn’t bad but it’s definitely ominous because of what it might represent - it’s possible that The Cancer has started growing again.
