Friday and Line Covers

So here is what happened today in our part of the world -

We walked in the fog this morning to begin our appointments at the clinic.

Blood draw at 8:30am.
This was to make sure that Terry's platelets are above 50, and they are at 54 so no infusion of platelets was necessary today.  Doctors are pleased with the counts and have told him he can skip tomorrows blood draw unless we see some extra bleeding.  We are confident that no excessive bleeding will take place, so we are planning not to be back in the clinic until Sunday.

Immune Globulin Infusion at 9:00am. The schedule had this listed as a 6 hour infusion, but we lucked out and were only there for 4 1/2 hours since there were no complications. :)

Flu shot for Elaine at 9:30am.  I had to leave Terry at infusion and go get a flu shot.  Luckily the clinic was offering them for free to the caregivers, so I took advantage of it.  I was only gone for 15 minutes since I only had to go up one floor to get it, but he was slumbering by the time I came back in.  Benadryl has a way of doing that to him.  He did well with the infusion.

We walked back to the House in the sunshine - awesome huh!
We had a microwave macaroni and cheese at the infusion snack kitchen, so lunch was taken care of.
We didn't do much the rest of the day, trying to let Terry get some rest. It was nice to have a computer in the room so we could do some lookin' and checkin' on things of interest. I also talked to BJo and Anthony for awhile - happy day!

Dinner was Chicken Fiesta made in the slow cooker, over rice cooked in the microwave.  This was my first try at cooking rice in the microwave.  Just regular long grain rice - and it cooked okay - not our favorite way, but it was edible.  We'll do it again sometime.

Now the TV is on - Terry is watching a baseball game ..., so I've gotta spend some time on the computer to find something enjoyable to watch. ;)

I have another photo for today -
These are the line covers that they have displayed in the lab, free for the taking.  I recognize three of the styles as those BrittanyJo made and sent over with us last week. We dropped them off yesterday when we went in for blood draw.  The pink and black zebra, the purple and black leopard, and the cream with little lady bugs, bees, and flowers. She might recognize others, but I'm not sure at this point.  Isn't she AWESOME!

You're all awesome!  Thanks for your kind comments, thoughts, and offers.  We are hoping to sneak home for a couple days next week to take care of a few more things if our schedule doesn't fill up too much, so we are thinking that we will be okay till then. Thanks again!
