Happy Birthday 2011!

Glory to God!  It has been a year since Janell's stem cell transplant!  And she has hair!  Here you see her with our sister-in-law, LaVon Gilmore, and one of our twin grandsons, Mister.  Just think, her grandsons, 2 1/2 years old, are older than their grandmother :)!

Janell just had her first set of immunizations just like a one year old infant would have.  It is amazing to think about her journey so far in terms of starting over with a new immune system like a baby.

For those of you old enough to remember, we even sang the Sheriff John Birthday Song:
"Put another candle on my birthday cake
Come on and take some birthday cake!
Put another candle on my birthday cake,
I'm another year old today.

I 'm going to have a party with my birthday cake
And when I do, a wish I'll make.
Put another candle on my birthday cake,
I'm another year old today.

(The song continues, but I'll end it here)

So please join me in wishing Janell...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
