It’s Monday — and I’m still in the hospital. Some of my blood counts are up but others are down. So today I will get a blood transfusion to raise my red blood cells. Maybe I will go home tomorrow if all goes well.
I got to see my boys today — after three long days. John brought them to a family room near my floor and I got to visit while wearing my mask. Joey said I look like an alien. He may be right.

John must be so jealous! He only looks like a dad but you, YOU look like an ALIEN
I hope the transfusion does the trick and you are able to return home tomorrow.

Jacki – I just heard a story about my friend who was in your situation (2 young boys, low blood counts, etc.) in 1999. She just kicked butt in a volleyball tournament in Virginia Beach (my old stomping grounds!!). You WILL get through this I am just so sorry it is happening to you. -KD
