Joe was supposed to stay at the hospital until at least Monday or Tuesday. However, once again, his good behavior has paid off! Even though Joe is still CMV positive, there is evidence that he is definitely responding to the treatment. Add that to the fact that he is a doctor and an extremely compliant patient, and the outcome is home sweet home! Of course Joe has to go back to the hospital every single day again. But this is far better than spending restless nights at the hospital. The nurses mean well, but they were entering the room every hour or two, and flipping on the super bright lights without warning. Not so fun. So the plan is that Joe returns each morning for his first dose of Ganciclovir. Then a visiting nurse will come to our home in the evenings for the second dose. Hopefully by Monday, Joe will test negative, and then he'll just get one dose a day at the hospital. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, love, and cards!
Now if you can please send a bunch of prayers to Amy and her family. They can use every prayer they can get right now. No, we do not know Amy or her family personally. Chances are, they don't have any idea who we are. But ever since her blog was shared with us, she has been in our prayers. She is a young lady of amazing strength and faith. We have learned a lot from her, and been inspired by her. Just pray, pray, pray!
Also pray for Baby Livi and family. She'll be starting her transplant procedure next week. That little girl is such a trooper. Not to mention she is too cute for words.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
