Today and yesterday since Steven has gotten back we have been resting and napping, which feels so good. It is wonderful to have him back with me, it was getting lonely here without anyone. Since I have been here and all this started back on the first day of off test results at my doctor I have just not been able to rest, my body wants to and does, but the mind, it keeps going and going even when you don't want it to. I seem to be able to rest now and was able to take a short nap yesterday and one already today. Steven has been going non stop and hopefully can relax and catch up on sleep a bit before we get home. Once we get home, the rest stops when you become Mommy and Daddy full time again and work for Steven, so we are catching up some today and having a sleepy Sunday.
Blood counts are still up today, WBC jumped to .97 and my neutrophils went from 70 to 120, neutrophils need to get to 500, and they jump quick, so tomorrow could bring that magic number or next day. I can feel my body working, when you make marrow and cells, your hip and pelvic area and down your legs hurts, I started getting uncomfortable yesterday and I remembered that from my first induction when I told doctor my back was hurting and he said it was a good hurt, doc today said same thing, so I can take something if it becomes really uncomfortable, but I love knowing my body is gearing up and getting healthy in there.
Christian, Sofia and Olivia spent the day with friends yesterday and were exhausted at the end of the day. They went swimming and played hard for most of the day, they got home around 7:30 and Olivia went to sleep immediately, she did not get her nap and she is a napper and an early to bed girl. She got to play with her friend Justin who is turning two very soon, and Olivia can be quite bossy with him, little Justin loves her and listens to her, they are quite a pair, and I love she has a buddy her age to play with. Christian and Sofia played with Amber and Reese and Alex, and they all get along so well, what a pleasure to know they are having a great time for us, my only regret is that Steven and I are not there hanging out too with friends and our kids. Here are a few photos:

Good Morning< Kim
Busy day for me. Count down to the wedding. Diod I tell you it was an out side wedding underneath a gazebo out at the boy's Dad's house on the farm where they grew up? It will be beautifu!
Sounds like things are going in the right direction for you! That's great news!
I was stayed up until 12:00 a.m. last night watching a program on Iowa Public Television. It was about a guy who suffered a brain hemmorhage and the year and a half it took him to come out of his para;ysis, etc. He's also a musician. His name is Jason Crigler. I though you mght want to Google him and hear his story. It helps to hear someone else's trials. And to know they made it through. His family really kept the faith as yours is also.
So say hi, to Steve ad kids and take care of yourself. Soonyou'll be back home.
Love you,
Aunt Patti
Hi Kim, glad to hear you are resting good. I remember last time when you hips and legs hurt, and what Dr. Aliff told you. So I hate to say I am glad your aching, but I am, because we know what that means. Counts are rising so well, Home is just a short time away. I will say prayers for you tonight as I know your bone marrow is tommorrow. I know in my heart this one will be below 5%. I guess we have to wait till Wednesday. Hope it is not much longer than that as we all can not stand the waiting.
I will call you tomorrow night. Get a good nights rest and good luck tommorrow with your test. I hope the are going to give you something for pain before your test. Tell Steven I am glad he is getting some much needed rest to.
Phil and Bryan, Aunt Denise all said they are praying hard for excellent results of this bone marrow. I love you. Talk to you tommorrow. Mom
