It's just about Midnight on Monday night. Trish is sleeping or at least trying. I'm just finishing some last minute preparations. We fly back to Baltimore tomorrow. Our best laid plans to allow Trish to see the boys play in two Lacrosse games before heading up to Maryland fell apart. She spent Saturday's game in the ER being hydrated and tonight's game was called due to the bad rain all day today.
Tomorrow as we fly in Baltimore and DC are supposed to be having a bad winter storm - snow, sleet, ice and us. If our plane and can take off and land on time we should be there by 2:30 p.m. We'll check into a hotel and relax. Wednesday will be busy with appointments. This morning Trish went for a blood test -- her levels appear to be holding stable for now and than when into work for a while. Her work is pretty amazing as usual and offering all sorts of support.
Just a note about emails. I wasn't planning to send any, but due to popular request, I'll send out a notice when there is a major posting and figure out a way for you to join a mailing list. In the meantime, please check this page once a day for an update.
If you'd like to make a small contribution to the American Cancer Society - both Andy and Matt are participating in the Relay for Life at school this year. Links to their contribution page are on the left. (This won't go to us or Trish and is a tax deductible donation to the cancer society). If you'd like to wear the Orange Leukemia wrist band to show your support for Trish, their is a link for that on the Leukemia Links page (again won't help Trish financially, but a visible way you can show your support).
For me there is less apprehension this time, less that is completely unknown. There is fear and pain and uncertainty. But like my beautiful bride, I am ready to face this mountain and help her climb it successfully.
