Hello All,
The clinic appointment went well today. Rita's numbers have recovered nicely thanks to the growth factor shots she has been getting. We were hoping to come home today but decided not to risk it with the weather we have been having. Rita is being taken off all of her antibiotics and the growth factor shots so we thought it would be best to stay until Thursday to make sure that she is stable. We are doing good and will make that decision on Thursday. Hopefully, we can get home for the weekend and then back here on Monday. Everything is day to day. We just need to stay flexible and adjust accordingly. Today, after the clinic, we walked back to the hotel through the tunnel from the clinic. This is about a 5 -10 minute walk which Rita handled with no problem. At the end of the tunnel walk, there are a set of stairs - maybe 15 -18 steps or, you can take a little elevator up to the hotel lobby level. Well, Rita dosen't really like the little elevator thing so, she just started up the stairs. She made it all the way up and hardley got tired through the process!! Also, she gained another pound today - thanks to mine and Lisa's cooking.
So, things are going pretty well. We are both anxious to get home but know we need to error on the side of making sure Rita is in a place where she can get help if needed. If we are able to get home, we will probably celebrate Christmas a little early because Rita will be in the process of course 3 at Christmas time and will not be able to be home for Christmas. I'll make sure we have enough Christmas spirit out here and we'll make the best of the situation. Its all of the future Christmases that are really important anyway.
OK - Goodnight - Love, Dave & Rita.
