Hello,
Well, we are still here in 5721 North at RPCI. The bone marrow biopsy scheduled for today has been rescheduled for tomorrow at 10:00 AM. We hope it really happens that way. Rita's numbers have not come back up yet and they don't really know why. They have told us that we need to wait and see what the bome marrow results are and then we will go from there. If her marrow is OK, they may give her some growth factor to help her bone marrow start producing the necessary infection fighting cells. We probably won't know about this until Wednesday or Thursday. It looks like we will be here until at least Wednesday and then, hopefully, they will let us go back to the hotel until they get this all figured out. I didn't think I'd ever say this but I think Rita is actually missing my cooking!! What does that tell you about the hospital food?
Everyone hang in there, be patient and we'll get through this like we have everything else. It's just a little more time being added to the process of getting Rita curred and back home for good.
I'll let you know when we have more information, Dave.
Rita and Dave, my prayer tonight is that God will give your doctors the knowledge to "right" your numbers so you can get back to your hotel room and back to Dave's cooking! Bill and I found his copy of his Boilermaker journal. His log for April 4, 1996 read: "Rita is the runner of the day for her fast, steady pace all the way thru the entire run. Her finish was as strong as her start". Can't help to think this applies to right now, too. Rita, keep that steady pace and you will finish this strong, too:) Love ya.
