Here is Dennis getting connected to the apheresis machine today. Things went well and it took less time than predicted. They did mention something about him having great pipes for veins. We continue to hear things that help us see that things are turning out great, maybe even better than expected, and things that give us more hope for what is to come. We recognize this as answer to prayers and priesthood blessings, and faith of our family and friends. We are also grateful for good doctors and others in the medical profession. Thank you to all!
Dennis will give blood one more time tomorrow, and then Terry will receive it tomorrow night. We'll get a photo on the receiving end as well.
Terry's appointment today was a simple visit with the nurse to make sure we understand all that will be taking place tomorrow. We picked up his fluid from the pharmacy and headed back to the apartment.
For evening entertainment we decided to take it easy and stay in the apartment tonight, since tomorrow is such a big day. We had tortellini soup for dinner, brownies and ice cream for dessert, and then we watched a movie. The office has a few movies that we can check out, so we had some good old fashioned fun watching Belles On Their Toes.
All in all - another nice day!
PS - I'm sorry that the posts have been so late lately. The infusion doesn't take place until early evening, so we may not post until morning if it's really late. We'll see, but don't worry, we'll be fine!

So glad your keeping us all informed. Lot's of prayers heading west tomorrow.
Thank you for sending the pictures of both Terry and Dennis. They both look great. We are sending our fasting and prayers your way today and hope you will feel the strength there from. Thank you for taking such good care of each other. It is so fun to hear about your evening adventures and see the beautiful flowers. Loves and hugs, Bryan and Sherri and family
What an awesome sentence, "don't worry we'll be fine". You are inspiring! Praying for all of you.
This is a note from mother and dad. "With all the loving things that have been said and done, it makes us Thankful as parents to see the love and support of family. With every fiber of our beings, we are fasting and praying on our end and trying to do all we can to help. We hope things go well today. We are just so proud to see how all the kids have loved and supported each other and it all aligns with how we feel. We love seeing the support of the mates of our children also. In church, branches, wards and stakes you have been in prayers, also in temples."
Remember as you read this, that I am only taking dictation as mother and dad tell me what to type. This is their message.
Glad things are going ok, at least according to expecation and a bit better. Haven't heard from mom and dad. Have left two messages. Could you pass on a message to them? Please call. Thanks! Love you guys.
