Today Ted spent the day doing testing. It started at 9:00 at Baylor Dallas where they drew 22 (not a typo) ... they actually filled 22 tubes of blood. He counted them. After that, they gave him milk and Gatorade. Oh, yeah, that's a good combination! Then he had a MUGA test, which is a test on his heart, to check his cardiac chambers and valves. That test took about an hour. Then they gave him a lunch break. About 1:00 he went in to visit with a pulmonologist for more testing. At 2:30 his appointment was with a social worker who asked, "Do you have any questions?" Ted said he thinks she wanted to see if he was crazy. Just to be safe, he told her he didn't have any questions.
In the waiting room, Ted met a woman who was there with her husband who had a stem cell transplant about 15 days ago. He was doing VERY well so far! There's the question ... and the answer! Hope ... at the end of a long day! (Ted & Tina)

Ted failed the crazy test. Anyone whole lets someone else willingly take that much blood is crazy. They just wanted to see if Ted realized that. Next time they will take 32, and then ask the questions again.
I am anxiously awaiting the pictures of TJ and Lyla. I have been praying for their safe delivery.
