Got up early this morning and drove back to the hospital.
It’s been a busy day. I started with a bone marrow test, got my bandages changed and tubes cleaned. Then I had a dentist appointment as a precaution for the coming transplant – they decided to pull a tooth that had been root filled- apparently it was a tough pull- so now I am in a lot of pain. We are rounding the day off with round of chemotherapy. Not an ideal day, but we are on our way.
On our way toward what, I’m not sure. Even after this round of chemo the transplant may still be a few weeks away. So I don’t know how long I am stuck here. Really, I don’t know anything. I thought I knew the plan but I guess I was mistaken. Hopefully we’ll know a little (or a lot) more next week when we meet with the transplant team. I’ll let you know.
It sure was nice being home for Christmas. That was such an unexpected blessing. I felt good and life was in slow motion – I got to spend time all three kids. Hannah, Jakob and Sarah all took time to sit with me, talk with me, go out with me and just be with me. What a blessing.
I’m sorry that Christmas is over and that I have to be in here again, but at least we are moving toward getting home permanently.
Stay positive. You have a lot of prayer warriors out there
