Helmut’s Journey

Happy Sunday All!! I went to see Mom and Dad yesterday at Austin and the first thing they said to me was "you haven't updated the Blog yet have you...we have been getting calls all day!" 😜 So I guess I better post an update!! Friday was the day of answers. Were they the answers we wanted....yes and no! But lets back up a bit! Since Dad's last treatment (Bell Ringing Day), he has been living his best life!

Hello all! Just a quick message…not really and update but kinda! Update first: Dads body has decided that it can start regenerating Platelets and White Blood Cells again! Very exciting news!

We really appreciate it!! God Bless! ~ Shannon ~
