82 days..Becky still an inspiration to those around her, and even those who are miles away. She's known as the 'sweet one' among the nurses. I tell ya, it's hard to be so sweet some days, when you see what she endures. She needed platelets today...they dropped pretty low, which brings on the constant nose bleeds. But she got a good 'batch' infused, thus immediate improvement was seen. As mentioned before, we know the platelets will be more 'turtle than hare' in regards to recovery...but they will catch up. Normalcy will be seen in due time.
Becky saw Abbey today, and that's always good medicine. We are still praying that ALL meds can be converted to pill form, thus expediting or solidifying a greenlight home! And we will sing that song.."I'll be home for Christmas"..YET, YET, it ain't done til it's done..
We have a parallel mentality. We are braced for Christmas at the hospital and we are embracing the thought of her coming home. We wait, we hope, we pray.
Hope you and yours are doing well. Don't worry about having the gift-list just right. Just enjoy being together with family and friends....live, laugh, love...Grasp the true meaning of Christmas..
A wonderful present indeed...
Much Love, Celebrate life.
Bill, Becky & Abbey
