A short lived reprieve!

Thanks to all of you, both bloggers and non, who took the time to send your encouragement to our famiy as DD1 heads down what hopefully will be the last, and probably the hardest, path to remission. You cannot know how much your good wishes sustain us all over here!

We have a short reprieve, and I did get some much needed zzzzzz's after DD1 was sprang from the hospital last Saturday afternoon, and we spent a few days this week doing normal routine things like working, dinner, and laundry. And then Friday it became apparent as the day went along, that DD1 was once again not up to par. By yesterday morning, we called the Heamotologist on call. I spare you the details (some require a strong stomach) and say that an attack plan was quickly put into place, executed and good thing too, because if we had waited much longer DD1 would have landed right back on 5West (the heamotology ward).

Today seems better although fatigue is constant, and it is clear her body is begining to take the beating we all knew was coming. Last night she wondered if it was this bad now, this time, would her body make it through the next round. She is amazingly resilent, and tough as nails, and stubborn beyond belief, and although I have absolutely no doubt she can get through this, it is still really, really hard to see her hurting so much, and feeling like there is little I can do that really makes things any easier for her.

In knitting news, continuing with my theme of knitting more for me and only what I really fell like knitting this year, a pair ot Toasties will be off the needles this evening. And yes, they are for me!

Knit on.....
