Mel's fight with AML

"On July 9th 2015 Mel was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (aml). In the month we spent at the hospital, alot of our plans and preparations were put on hold. This disease truly consumes your life. We really thought we were done. Then on May 23, 2016 the doctors at Emory University Hospital confirmed Mel had relapsed. She started her second induction of chemo. It was so unexpected, we were starting to get settled back into a sense of normalcy. Making plans, reorganizing finances and reconnecting with the important things that had been neglected. I'm not sure who knows about leukemia, but it moves so fast. You barley have time to process what's happening before you're dealing with the next step and forget preparing. Mel will be at Emory for the month, because of how bad things were last time, I've decided to stay. Being out of work is scary, but the alternative is worse. Thank you all for your help."
