COVID is still hanging around too, so even though we're doing everything possible to treat it, I've still got lingering congestion and a super annoying and obnoxious persistent cough. But my energy and spirits are good and I was able to have a few visitors today, including the girls bringing Chick Fil A lunch and getting to see my incredible in-laws who SWOOPED up from Georgia as soon as they heard the news to help out. So that was a treat!
Still really limiting visitors in general though since not only do I have COVID, but I have really no immune system and need to not add any more germies. So while I'm super duper grateful for all the offers for visitors and will hopefully be able to take you up on some of those going forward, we're also needing to keep the visitation policy right now to "By Invitation Only." Not personal!
They weren't really able to get a lot of marrow out of yesterday's biopsy (Remember, strong bones?) so they'll get the info they would have gotten from that biopsy from regular blood labs instead, just not as fast. We'll do the next bone marrow biopsy in CT with some light sedation in two weeks.
I think that's all I really need to share tonight. These posts will definitely shorten as there is less to "figure out" and share, but know that I'm grateful for your continued prayers, words of encouragement and comfort and offers for tangible love. We're figuring things out.
Dear friend brings early morning coffee.

ReplyDeleteChrissy - it's obvious that with your family there and some "good blood" on board, along with a plan (a plan always makes me feel better), that you feel so much better than you did the other day. Praying every day for you and the Hardys. Niki Vogler
