Lillian is almost completely back to normal. She still requires a couple extra treatments a day, but that is par for the course. This morning started rather differently. Matt came to me with a huge red patch on his lower calf and pain above it. The short version of the story, the doctor sent him for an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot and it was ruled out, praise Jesus. He appears to have cellulitis, so if there is no improvement after a week of antibiotics, he'll need to be seen again. We made it to KY for appointment right on time. Sadly, they blew her vein 3 times before they got a good IV. 3 different nurses, 4 attempts. That in and of itself added an extra hour to our day. She had a genetic test and other labs being added by her hematologist and the nurse didn't put the blood in the right tube, so she had to come in and draw more blood off the IV which means the first mil has to be wasted. Then the vein was positional so it didn't want to give the blood. That took a hot, few minutes, literally about 10 minutes. It has felt like the LONGEST day. We had safe travel and my hubby is does not have a blod clot, so thank the Lord for his goodness. Course, He is good no matter the circumstances. Can I get an AMEN? I am still battling the affects of the flu and felt so good yesterday but am feeling very exhausted today. Going to hit the bed and rest.
