I got my lab results back yesterday (after calling TWICE)...everything is normal!  YAY!  I must admit that it would have been nice for something simple; an "easy fix" so to speak.  Like my thyroid being out of whack or something.  Something so that I could be like "okay, all I gotta do is take this every day and everything will be alright."  Too bad life isn't that easy.  It was 6 weeks yesterday until our trip to Aruba - that means 6 weeks until we can TTC again!  I hope the time goes by quickly.  Momma thinks I need to go to a fertility specialist.  I think I'll try one more time before I consider it.

We got the results from Daddy's bone marrow biopsy yesterday.  His plasma count has increased from 8% to 28%.  Really not too good.  It was 60% when he was diagnosed.  At first Momma and I were worried.  I mean, he's already down in the dumps 'cause he's sick and can't "provide" like he should.  But how is he going to take THIS news?!  Luckily, he took it better than anticipated.  Momma talked to NP at Duke today.  Apparently they were surprised at how high his plasma count has climbed, but that something like this is to be expected since he hasn't had any chemo for the past 8 weeks.  They're optimistic about his recovery and plan for him to begin chemo again once a week; hopefully to be done with the transplant completely by next spring.  Keep your fingers crossed!
