Jenn is feeling a little blah today as her Hemoglobin was at 7 and that means it is time for a blood transfusion. The Chemo really knocks the crap out of you both physically and emotionally, so Jenn should perk right up after this transfusion here this morning. Other than that, Jenn and I are awaiting a visit from the doctor, but seeing as where we got some exceptional news yesterday, I think we are now on the last to visit list for Dr Miller. Good thing for sure, but just makes for a longer morning in anticipation of his arrival and news for the day. We always want to hear what Jenns white blood cell count is for the day as she needs to get over 1 to be released from the hospital and she was at .9 yesterday and steadily climbing since she hit rock bottom at .6 a few days ago.
Jenn will still be in the hospital for at least 10 days, if not two weeks, so I am trying to keep Jenn's mind off of the length of the stay and just focusing on each day as it arrives. Jenn is watching movies and reading a lot, so she has plenty to keep her occupied.
We would like to thank Grandma Jodi for the lovely red sweater; Jenn just adores it and cannot wait to wear it out for a dinner. Also, Kelly and Erik sent Jenn some great reading materials and an awesome Buffalo Sabres Gnome. Thanks To Kirbi for the great puzzle books as well, these are keeping Jenn busy when she is feeling bored.
Thanks to everyone that follows the blog and for all of the great comments and well wishes we have both received from the onset of this Leukemia. I am a firm believer in God and all that he provides and grant us each and every day. While I know I joke a lot, I am very spiritual but not so much religious; that doesn't mean that I don't pay respect to God all of the time and he certainly deserves much praise and adoration for the miracle he has delivered so far to my wife, life partner and best friend. Keep praying for Jenn, we have only cleared the first of many hurdles so this journey will continue for a while.
Much Love from Room 4912!!
It's ok to feel a little blah. It isn't easy work kicking cancers nasty ass! Keep your chin up. Love you!
