Close To The End Of Hospital Phase

 Good evening,

        Andy is posting tonight. Since returning to Anschutz from 4 day break. Thanks again TerTer!(Cathie's sister Terri-Amazing support Angel!) Returned on Valentines Day about 10:30 am. Honestly, even though I visited Wed. for a short drop-in, I felt uneasy being away from my Sweetheart. To me, Terri had the tough overwatch because Cath was at a low point in this process with her blood counts at almost 0. And knowing our merciful Lord, He has heard all the prayers for Cath and knowing His immense love for us, Cathies bloodwork continues to shoot upward each day.  So much so, the discharge nurse gave us a 1 hour point by point post hospital instructions to follow to continue at the apartment we will be staying at across the street from hospital. All of it is important in keeping Cath healthy and free from sickness as she continues to fully heal. Which the Dr.s say is a 6 month to 1 year timeframe. Cath was in a very animated dream state last night, between all the interruptions she's commonly experienced these 3 weeks. She had a great time with the Grandkids, as I heard her conversing with each of them as well as our sons. I am very thankful Cath is through the ugly nausea she's experienced at different times the past week or so. She still has some tough road ahead as they tell us she will experience debilitating fatigue. She has to take dizzying amounts of meds to help her immune system  and help her body accept the donor cells. Precautions will need to be adhered to when she is visited, i.e. masks and lots of hand washing and no hugs😞 till the 100 day. Thanks again for the love and prayers!

Ya, I'm starting cytotoxic chemo tomorrow.

The good and the bad - accepting both.

Staying flexible and trusting in God's perfect timing
