Spiritual Sunday

Took a short drive to Mt. Laguna (I always forget this place exists and is so close to SD) to get some much needed mountain air!

I am scheduled to go back into the hospital next week for *hopefully* what is my final round of pre-transplant chemotherapy!

I still don’t have a date for my transplant, but it’s in the works! Luckily a majority of donors come from Germany – so I had a few 9/10 matches in the database

Thankful for every single day, and feeling strong!
