A LONG DAY

The weekend was a tough one for Ted. He predicted that he would have to have platelets again on Monday ... and he was right. His appointment today was at 2:30. He was told that he would need to get platelets and blood. So he went to the hospital and checked in, and proceeded to get one bag of platelets and two units of blood ... finally just finished around 10:45. A long day.

On the bright side ... when I came home before meeting him at the hospital, I checked the mail, and we had received a DVD of Lyla and TJ! I brought it to the hospital, and since we had the room all to ourselves, we were able to watch the video. It was a video of their drive to the hospital and checking in, the babies first bathes, and even included their trip home and seeing them being fed. A picture is worth a thousand words, but hearing the sound on the video and the shout out to Grandpa was priceless!! It was precious! Thank you Lori and TJ!

Ted says to wish everyone a Happy Veteran's Day tomorrow! "I was protecting this country while you were all playing in your sandboxes."

Thanks Ted ... and Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans!
