Keeping up with the Barquist family. Sunday, March 18, 2018. Darby was star of the week. She got to take Bear Bear home for the week. Our neighbor joined Darby and Bear Bear for a snack.

We did take him to basketball games but forgot to take a picture so we took this one instead. Saturday, March 17, 2018.

At first I thought it was a typo when I read that some had been alive, and going strong, 10 and 12 years after diagnosis! I am more than happy, more than utterly grateful. And so I find myself in a very happy place.

On September 25, 2009, Rassie was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. We never exepected a diagnoses of Leukemia. The Doctors and we ourselves, are very optimistic about the treatments available. We know that we have a long road ahead of us and we hope that you will support us on our journey to recovery.
