Tomorrow is Joe's pre-BMT testing day. He'll get all kinds of fun tests uncluding blood tests, a pulmonary function test, and an EKG. It'll pretty much be a full day. Hopefully soon, we'll be able to set a definite date for transplant. It is so weird to think that right after the holidays Joe will be getting a transplant. Just saying it sounds weird. It just doesn't feel normal to say something so huge, in an almost casual way...about my husband! "Oh my husband needs a PBSC (bone marrow) transplant." What? It feels like something that should be said about the uncle of a friend of a friend. Or something you read about in Reader's Digest. But alas, every person who has to face any type of transplant, or chemo, or other hospital related yuckiness is a brother, or sister, or parent, or child, or spouse, or friend to someone. And I would hope...and I pray...that the families that deal with such things are close and have as great a support system as we do. How scary and sad it would be to face such things alone.
I'll update on Joe as we get more information.
Hmmm. Lots of thank yous. Thank you so much to Jomei and Vivian for such a fun girls day on Thursday. I had so much fun with you!
Thank you to Joe for allowing me a day with the girls. I know you not so secretly enjoyed those hours of peace and quiet, but I still appreciate it!
Thank you to Steve & Lora and Monica & Brian for contributing to a fun filled weekend! We really enjoyed the time we got to spend with you.
Thank you to Louis and Karen & Steve for the fun gifts.
Thank you to our parents for all the goodies and treats!
And...a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY (belated) birthday to my dear cousin Richard. I haven't see you in SO long, and Joe still needs to meet you! Hope you had fun!
Also, a very Happy birthday to Luke!
(and go steelers! :) )
"He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end."
