I met with my orthopedic specialist this morning for my eight week check on my arm and he said it is healing really well. The X-rays showed a huge difference in the calcification of the breaks. So much so, that he said I no longer need to wear the compression brace that I've been wearing 24 hours/day for the last two months. They had predicted it would take 12 weeks to get to this point, so it feels like a wonderful gift to be ahead of schedule.

| Thank you, Erin, for the gift of our own pot of African Daisies. They spark so much joy! |
I'm also (even more) excited to share that Han and I have booked our reunion, with my oncologist's blessing. Since both of our countries are closed to each other, we're having to be creative. A few weeks after my last infusion, we will fly to meet each other in Iceland! They are being super careful with visitors, testing everyone for Covid upon arrival. We have our campervan rented and just knowing this is coming up makes all the difference!
UPDATE: As of July 1st, Iceland has joined the rest of the EU in holding off on welcoming Americans due to our high rates of Covid. This new guideline will be re-evaluated every two weeks. Han and I are hopeful that in the next seven weeks, things will change and the trip will still work out but are having to accept that it may not. Not knowing is not easy. Back to “trusting the process”. Feeling like we’re being forced into a Masterclass on this subject right now.

The light at the end of the tunnel has definitely been growing brighter and brighter. Feeling so, so grateful today!❤️❤️❤️
