DAY +12

After the long day on Friday, we were so glad when Saturday and Sunday were much shorter. We were home both days by around 12:30.

I went back to work today, and since Katie is here, she drove Ted to Baylor. I was a little nervous about it because Katie hates driving in traffic and rain and is a self-professed bad driver. I heard her telling Ted that he should probably take some anxiety medicine and maybe give her some, too. (But they made it both ways just fine!)

Today Ted ended up getting 2 units of blood and also an infusion of magnesium, so he didn't get home until 4:30. It is a long day for him and the trip over and back each day is exhausting. He is resting as much as he can.

The numbers haven't really started going up yet, although one of the ones they are watching did go up a little bit today. We are hoping in the next few days to see some changes and hear from the doctors that the engrafting has started.

Even though this has been very difficult for Ted, he still says it's not as bad as he was expecting! I asked him if there was anything he wanted me to blog and he said to tell you all ...

"Today is the same sh*t ... different day! Thanks. Ted."
