Today's Appointments

Blood draw was easy today, as always, and Terry did have a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy - both hips. It was done on the 6th floor because they didn't have time for him on the 2nd floor. It was not a pleasant procedure - actually the worst yet. We have heard that it gets harder each time and this time certainly proves that. This was not a planned procedure as far as the normal protocol, but it was necessary to figure out why Terry's counts are low.
We hope to have some answers on Wednesday after our clinic appointment.

We have this week's agenda and there is no scheduled departure clinic, so that confirms that we will remain a little longer. Maybe we'll get the kids here for some school shopping, since school starts the 26th. This long distance parenting is kinda challenging. Rest assured we have no intentions of making this our way of life forever. Hard as it has been though, we have had some enjoyable times and we do have some happy memories to last a life time, and we are grateful for those.

Terry has told the doctors that he is ready to give them his two week notice. :) They all laugh with him and one mentioned that with the economy what it is, it won't hurt him to loose his job. :)
