We got home on Tuesday and are enjoying being in Ephrata again. Our own bed, wonderful meals home cooked (by others - such great friends) and our own family room to relax and cuddle. There is nothing like it in the world. We have been able to keep in touch with family (thanks to cell phones) and are so happy they are all doing so well. Now that the kids each have new, faster computers, we expect to see and hear from them via web cam more often. Yes, that is a big hint to the one that is already equipped with one!
Adele and I are acutely aware of the limited time we have to sleep together, cuddle on the sofa and other quiet moments we spend together. She is basically house bound and not able to get out because of infection possibilities. If you stop over - the grill at the door is as follows: Have you or someone in your immediate household been sick in the past week? Have you recently cuddled or petted an animal? Have you washed your hands recently - No? Have some Purell on us!
We have an 11:30 AM appointment on Sunday with the IPOP clinic and will know more about what is happening then. I know better than trying to plan things out, but she will probably be admitted into JH as a Bone Marrow Transplant inpatient on next Tuesday, the 13th. That will put her on a schedule that is just 1 week later than what she was planned for originally - which would be good.
We will drive to Baltimore Sunday morning, the weather looks OK then, and go directly to the hospital. After that appointment, we will go to Debbie's and base our stay there. If she does get admitted, I will stay at Debbie's on & off until further notice. My hope is to not get Debbie too bored of me. I should have some time to throw things into a crock pot and help with meals at her house. With crock pot meals, she can get home anytime and have a meal.
More later this week - Rick
