A good afternoon to you all! What an eventful last few days we have had. Otto is doing well being home. Home is definitely the best medicine!! We are currently at Clinic. Numbers looked ok and we are just waiting for some platelets to arrive so we can get a transfusion.
Sunday evening, we gathered at Julio’s in Southbury, where our friends, the Springers, along with their staff, served the finest food to an amazing group of people. The Springers, alongside the Nagys, Lowells, Mahoneys, Velkys and Macioleks, spearheaded the Otto Strong fundraiser on behalf of our baseball family. A special thank you to them as well as the other members of our baseball family who helped with this event. It was beautifully put together and ran so smoothly!
That evening was one filled with love and positive light. We couldn’t believe how many people were able to attend. We also caught wind that there were many others who wanted to be there, but could not due to the event being sold out. No matter if you were present or not, we appreciate all the love and support from you all. Thank you so much to those who spoke on our family’s behalf - Ian, Michaela, Lise and Katie - you all are so special to us and we are so very grateful for your words.
Another thank you goes to all our family members who came in from various out of town areas to be part of our special event. It meant so much to have you all there, under one roof! It was also so nice being with you for the weekend. Since being admitted in June, bouncing back and forth between home and Yale, we haven’t gotten a chance to get back to Rochester. You definitely filled our hearts with lots of love!
So our plan is to have a fabulous meal at Grandad’s house on Thursday. Then, we will be back to Yale on Friday to be inpatient for about a week. Low dose chemo is still the plan along with an updated CT scan and some possible radiation on a few spots that are starting to bother him. Fingers crossed for some great days ahead!
So much love, gratitude and thankfulness!!
Mark, Leigh, Otto, Tess and Lulu
