Today we had a fabulous full house...all 5 of us, the 3 male chefs, Laura's boyfriend, Ian, and my parents. Talk about crazy! It was loud and funny and crazy...never a dull moment. After lunch several of them took off to "do the incline" on the west side of town. Afterward my parents headed home, Amy took a nap, and Laura & I had some quiet time all to ourselves. It was a nice distraction from the more serious concerns that have been using up our brain cells lately.
Yesterday Amy saw her primary care Dr who thinks it's time for us to see the hematologist again. The last time we saw him, the focus was the swollen lymph node that needed to come out. But now that Hodgkins lymphoma has been ruled out, it's time to focus on why she's still having abnormal reactions to things. Are the many issues of the past related or isolated incidents? Time to find out. We'll give her time to finish this round of antibiotics first, though...make decisions about school...etc before we start up again with our search for answers. Right now the pressing need is to get the drain out and decide if she'll be able to make it back to school or not. The rest can wait. I'm not sure how much more she wants to tackle for awhile.
Thanks again, everyone, for loving on her and caring for her. The cards, letters, meals, prayers...they mean so much to all of us.
Happy Easter, friends. HE IS RISEN!!!
