Birthday--Plus 17

This on and off stormy evening here in North Texas finds us dodging the worst of the weather--so far. Hopefully that will continue as things are hard enough in so many ways without weather damage compounding things. I'd whine about a few things, but I am pretty much sick of myself at this point and you folks don't need to hear it.

Sandi continues to do well and is spending her second night in the extended stay facility. Earlier today she had a doctor appointment where they pulled blood and checked her vitals. Unfortunately, they did not further evaluate the blood clot in the right side of her neck. They seem confident, according to Sandi, that it should dissolve in a matter of days and will not catastrophically break free and do damage. I hope they are right about that as I remain very worried.

They did run more blood work today and the numbers continue to trend upwards. This includes her white blood cell count which is rapidly approaching pre stem cell transplant levels. Normally, this does not happen like this at all. The folks involved remain exceptionally pleased at how well she is doing. Because she is doing so well they are giving her tomorrow off from medical stuff for teh first time since the week before she was admitted into the hospital there. Her next appointment is on Friday.

I've asked her not to party too hard tonight and tomorrow.....
