MARCHING IN TO DAY 10 AND GETTING SLAPPED DOWN HARD....

Where do I start???? Good day 9, some news from the research people that the Day + 7 blood draw was as hoped.  All three girls are still circulating.  It is good to know that they are all there and no one packed up and went home early. 

Mary-Elizabeth had a great great day.  She was up, she bathed, she walked, she ate, she watched some Here Come The Brides, she skyped with Joey, she visited with friends that came.

It was a great day, then......  a little fever a little pain where it should not be, a need for some additional oxygen, some pain, some more antibiotics.....  some bleeding, some....


The body breaks down more and more each day and there is no real way to fix it yet. She is still eating and still drinking enough that she is not required to have IV feedings.  They are very pleased because it keeps your gut otherwise occupied and does not give it time to find a long forgotten bug to let loose. 


So Cranky sore, tired, unhappy, feeling sick child. Worried mom.  Worried dad, worried doctors. Worry enough to go around.

Maybe while we worry, the girls are working hard, all three of them.


Even the rocks cry for those we love.
The girls have to get to work and make more blood products from the inside yet. No one has moved in permanently.  They will..

They will and they are. So much goes on that we can't see.
I could mix up some lentils and pinto beans for you to sort back out. That would be the level of mental challenge I could handle given your day and night schedule and no real off switch for rest. Actually, that is pretty much my mental level anyway, it seems.
Love and so many hugs.
