We had a wonderful weekend with our friends here. My mom told me that it sound as if everyone who went to the wedding except Ryan and I had fun - that's not true. Ryan and I enjoyed ourselves very much as did everyone else. We even got to dance together for a short time.
On Monday, another friend from college and her husband and son came over and so we all got to visit together before Lindsey and the kids had to head towards Pennsylvania and we had to figure out a new routine - still don't have that down yet - that's why I'm not blogging every night.
Today the nurse came out a little after 8 this morning, Ryan was pretty tired. He didn't sleep real well last night. After the nurse, a social worker came out to visit with us. Then we had some lunch and got ready to head to Wayne Hospital. Ryan needed both blood and platelets today, platelets were really low at only 3,000 (normal is over 150,000). Here's the world record part: Ryan got 2 bags of platelets and 2 bags of blood and he was only at the hospital for 4 hours and 15 minutes! I figured he'd be there until around 10:00 tonight, but I picked him up at 6:45. We stopped down at his parents' before coming home and Ryan took a short drive in one of the tractors, then showed Aubrey the mules. He is now "watching TV" or watching the backs of his eyelids :)
Ryan is still experiencing pain, although it is getting to be better controlled. He is also still very fatigued and is trying to regain his strength.

We had a great visit with you Monday. Thanks for working us in even if it disrupted your routine. Gareth is still talking about the Gator, and today he is playing with a little tractor (that is shaped a bit like the mower) and talking about how it is broken.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes - and he is pretending the toy mixer is a combine and said it would pick the corn eventually.
