Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
is a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. In AML, the bone marrow makes many unformed cells called blasts. Blasts normally develop into white blood cells that fight infection. However, the blasts are abnormal in AML. They do not develop and cannot fight infections. The bone marrow may also make abnormal red blood cells and platelets. The number of abnormal cells (or leukemia cells) grows quickly. They crowd out the normal red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets the body needs.

12.21

Friday.  Today we went to Dave and Buster's for lunch and a fun filled afternoon!  The GM, Dean Sholder hosted our family for an amazing meal and game cards that took us several hours to use!  My kids and games... watch out!  They were off and running!  We had so much fun together as a family, just enjoying the time.  We loved Dave and Buster's!






We then went down to Independence Hall (building in the background), the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence. Then across the street to see the Liberty Bell.  We enjoyed the visitors center in the square and watched a movie about that time in history.

We then headed back to our hotel and parked the car and decided to walk around the downtown area.  Our great hotel was right smack in downtown Philadelphia.  We walked over to Macy's and saw the amazing light show.  Macy's in Philly is just how I imagine the famous Macy's in New York to be.  It was huge with many floors of shopping, in a great old building.  We walked around and found the line to see Santa.  As we walked through the hallways (the Santa line), we enjoyed the display of the Christmas Carol story.  This was a very fun day!
