A Taste of Home

We got a taste of home last week, and it's lingering in our hearts.

Terry and I missed the Rodeback Family Reunion this last weekend. His counts are way low and people there were getting sick, so we stayed away. We did hear that they had a great time, in spite of the flu going around.
Chase, BrittanyJo, and Anthony left the reception Tuesday night with my mom and dad so they could attend the reunion. Thomas and Dana took Connor with them on Friday so they could attend. They are all home now.

Skyler and Lisa are home now too, and preparing for the exciting activity of opening up their wedding gifts before heading to their new home in Rexburg.

There is so much excitement still going on, that we wish we were home to share in it all, but we really need to help the doctors get this figured out. We are not sure why these little things continue to spring up and surprise everyone, but we seem to be keeping the doctors busy at trying to learn and make good decisions concerning Terry's health.

After being home this time we were anxious to get back to Seattle so that we could get things taken care of and get home for good, as soon as we could. The doctors were hoping for the 21st, but that can only happen if things turn out better than they are right now.

Now that we are back in Seattle, we are missing the fun activities and wishing we were home again. We had a taste of home and we love it. We have also had a taste of good health and we love it. Someday, hopefully in the near future, we will have them both, together again! We have something to keep us going, so we are not loosing hope, just getting a bit delayed.

Today, day 117, we head in for an early blood draw and another bone marrow biopsy. At least that is what they are calling it, but the instructions were a bit confusing, so we'll see if it is something different. We kinda hope it is, cause those bone marrow biopsy/aspirations are not fun. They are looking for something to blame the low counts on. We'll let you know when we learn something.

Our medical mission continues..., and I'm still loving my companion! No transfers here!
