Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a while. Yes, I said I would be more active, but we have been working very hard and making so much progress. You will see a lot more starting now.
Today, I post because I want to share that this day - 3 years ago - my oldest child was diagnosed with AML, one of the toughest types of leukemia to treat. I am so happy to say she is a cancer-free, healthy, happy and all things a 17 year old woman can be. I love my Steem family.

Tough cookie. That's a difficult age at the best of times. Adult enough to understand the stakes; still too young to have developed the coping skills. Can't imagine how hard that must have been on you all.

Big congratulations from my family to yours.

Wonderful and congratulations. That must have been so scary and it must be such a relief now. If there's anything nice about a health scare, it is that we learn not to take anything for granted and be thankful for every moment.

Whoa! Well done to you all for smashing AML, I imagine it was an incredibly tough but extremely educational time for everyone, but particularly for a young lady going through some of the hardest and most confusing formative years in most people's lives. Amazing. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth.
