Take a deep breath,.....

This morning at 10:00, Jen got a call from Kimberly, our transplant coordinator, giving her some disturbing news. They have a problem with the samples of blood they took this week and had sent to John Hopkins. Of course they don't tell you what the problem is, encouraging us to worry and fret for the next 4 days. woo hoo!
They want Jen back at the transplant center by 7:00 am Monday, so they can draw more blood, no mention of how many vials she'll have to fill again.
Needless to say, she's in tears thinking the worst, and all Steve and I can do is try to comfort her.
She wants me to with her while they do another draw. Was thinking she wanted me there for a shoulder to lean on, until she mentioned that with two in the car, she'll be able to drive in the HOV lane. Giggle or cry, our only two options.

Glenn is being the truly amazing through all this,.... even keel and steady as ever, keeping us all grounded through this ordeal. I chose so wisely marrying him.

  1. Thank God Michelle was my +1 for the commute this morning! Who knew there would be that much traffic on 66 at 6am? WOW- I was completely surprised. I have worked from home for a few years now and guess I am out of touch with the commuting reality. Sorry to all of you that have to commute- and that goes out to Glenn also.
    Oh yeah- blood was taken this morning 6 more vials off to John Hopkins. :)
