Bonnie's cheeks hurt -- from Charlie Hays

Hi All:

I spoke to Bonnie yesterday after reading Mike's post,
and through all the laughing and the tears, she told
me her cheeks hurt from smiling! She has really been
kept in the dark the past few weeks, since she had
asked her doctors not to tell her what her white cell
counts were. A nurse let it slip that she had been
trending, and Bonnie was able to put two and two
together and figure out that this was much bigger
news. She's quite familiar with all the tests and why
they would do them, so even though they didn't tell
her, she knew what the DNA test was looking for.
(Smart girl- nothing gets past her!)

She is, needless to say, on cloud nine, and eagerly
awaiting the arrival of Mike and the girls. She had
promised Isabel that she would be at the apartment for
the next visit, and is relieved that she can live up
to that! Far from being cautiously optimistic, she is
exhuberantly so, and has given the green light for the
rest of us, too, so raise a glass to Bonnie- YOU GO,
GIRL!!!

Cheers,
Charlie
