Love Will Find A Way
Amy Grant, Pablo Cruise, and even Lion King II had a cute little spin on this sentiment. Remaining connected can feel like a tall task when your running around like a nurse without a degree, who knows enough to be qualified and dangerous, as you prepare to send your...
Charitable Love
Charity begins at home and we are the first to position ourselves to be the blessing as we can and as we are led. No one wants to feel like 'a case' but we go back to those pearls of wisdom from AJ 'receive' or we'll just pray and believe for no one to help you with...
Ever Evolving World of Progress
Reya's appointment today only lasted 3.5 hours. Her counts came up a bit since Friday but her white count is still lagging along with her magnesium. The dosage on one of her anti-rejection medications has been changed. Sometimes when this medication is given at...
Just One of Those Days
Momma said there would be days like this....it's just one of those days that I'm feeling a certain kind of way. I went out for a bit to take care of some business that appears more complicated than useful to setup. On my way home, I ran by Barnes and Noble and sat...
A New Kind of Freedom
We're happy to be home. It's amazing how Reya's spirits have been lifted. This is a new kind of freedom with many limitations, but we'll take it. We have a lot of 'guidelines' to adhere to and to help us to get through these next 100 days as best we can. The most...
Back on the Block
We're back on the Hemoc Block and man it didn't take long to be right back in the flow of things. Reya was in a very upbeat and super jovial mood. Getting through vitals and the draws was a breeze today. We got to see Allison and her Mom. They were in clinic but had...
Free @ Last
Reya is home and we are super excited. As expected it didn't take long for her to eat. I'd been trying since Day 3 to have her drink a those specially picked out Caprisun she loves. She was out of the hospital less than 3 minutes and sucked down a Caprisun and ate a...
Temporarily Delayed
Plans to be discharged tomorrow have been delayed because Reya has an infection. We're adding another antibiotic to the arsenal to work on getting rid of it. She has been extremely tired and wiped out as a result. We should still be able to go home this weekend,...
Bolton Family Engraftment Dance
A few of the Nurses have boogied down with us today and one also attempted to sing. Her disclaimer was she could do neither, but kudos to her for going out on a limb to give us such great entertainment. I've given out a few check marks to the awesome Nurses on the...
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Mireya's had a great week. Her white cell count continues to increase. It is a huge possibility that we can go home very soon, possibly within days (yes days). Of course I'm taking that with a grain of salt until the final word arrives, not to mention there is sooooo...
