It's Friday and not much is new, we picked Amanda up at the airport around noon. We are very happy she has come up to see us this weekend before Ryan and her jet off to the Big Apple and City of Brotherly Love next week for a spring break vacation with some friends.
My numbers are starting to rebound as they said they would, I think that is good. I only had to have the one transfusion and I believe that's a good thing because the way they talked, I think they were suspecting I would have to have more than the one I wrote about.
A few years ago there was a commercial for dunkin donuts, it was a guy that would get up and say "I'm going to make the donuts" then he would come back through the door exhausted and say "I made the donuts". This repeated several times until at one time he meets himself at the door as he is both coming and going to and from the donuts. At times, this is how Patty and I feel, we're up at 7:00 to get to the hospital for 8:00 am shots and have to be back at the hospital for 8:00 pm shots, I know that's 12 hours apart but with getting my naps in and getting a nights sleep in between, it seems like that's about all we do.
I'm not complaining, just a little bored, but with my numbers starting to rebound there is a good chance we'll be beginning the collection process early next week and that's a good thing that brings us closer to the in patient and transplant process which have their own challenges, but are steps in the right direction.
We're looking forward to a good weekend with Amanda and will put her back on a plane on Sunday to send her home to Ryan. Josh traveled back to Arizona today to get ready for school to start next week. Thanks again to all of you for your good thoughts and prayers, I know they help us in our process.
