Good News Sunday


We went to bed late last night so it was nice to have a late appointment this morning.  We didn't have to be there until 10:00am for blood draw.  We waited on the 6th floor for the results to find out that Terry's platelets count were 33.  Not so close to the 50 they were hoping for, so they made us an appointment for platelets infusion at 1:00.

We walked back to the room and had lunch and then walked back for the infusion. While we were in the waiting room we got a call from the Pete Gross House telling us they have an apartment available.  After the infusion we walked over to see it. We want it!

SO OUR ADDRESS IS CHANGING!

We have an early start tomorrow with blood draw at 7:00am and a chemo treatment at 7:30am.  There is also a platelets infusion scheduled at 3:00 if needed.  We'll see what tomorrow will brings - maybe things will change.  But some time tomorrow we plan on moving over to Pete Gross House and we are so happy to have a little more room and better conditions for cooking and cleaning. And, now we won't need to go purchase a recliner because there is one in the apartment. I know, I just set up my scrapbooking area, but it will be worth packing it up again for a better space.

We got back to our room and saw the puzzle half done.  That would be terrible to start and not finish that project, so we finished that puzzle.  Here it is -

So thankful the apartment opened up. Wish I was there to help you move. Is a platelet transfusion the same as a blood transfusion? The puzzle looked like one mom would have liked to do. You are always in our prayers. The Larson family

Great news about your new home away from home! Hope the move goes smoothly and pray for better platelet counts today.
