Day 83

We heard encouraging words again during our clinic visit today - words like "fantastic" and "couldn't be happier". Blood draw was after our clinic visit so todays labs were results from Friday, not today, but we will post them, because they are the most recent we have:
WBC = 4.80
Hematocrit = 31 %
Platelets = 108 thou
Neutrophils = 2.36

Terry had a CT scan today. We were at the clinic all day, having no lunch until 4:30 this evening because of the fasting for the scan. Luckily our day ended earlier than was planned because there was a patient "no show" before us and they took us in early. Lucky for us!

Tomorrow is a big day with an early (and fasting) blood draw and then a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.

We'll be back to the clinic Thursday and Friday, but have no results until next week. They gave us a heads up on upcoming events, so we know that we have things scheduled for the 21st, 26th, and 28th. We think the 28th is the day they will remove the Hickman line and give us our "walking papers" if all goes well. We'll see! We might be getting a bit anxious :).

We are letting Terry rest this evening and I am folding and stuffing wedding announcements. You should be getting yours soon. I'm trying to hurry! If you don't get one in a week or so, let me know and I'll make sure I get one to you, and I apologize in advance if that is the case. We look forward to sharing this special occasion with you.

Keep August 10th on your calendar - that's the big wedding and reception day! We are so excited for Skyler and Lisa. If they had known each other forever we'd say that they were childhood sweethearts. What I will claim is that Lisa is exactly what Skyler was looking and waiting for all his years. That's pretty close to being his childhood sweetheart isn't it!?!?!?
