Day +34 - Jen had her bone marrow biopsy today. Actually, it was the most stress-free, pain-free biopsy she's had since this whole disease started. The nurse anesthetist and the nurse marrow collector were so great; they took care of making sure Jen suffered no pain and worked quickly and were the sweetest women - everything you could ask for when undergoing this procedure. We are waiting for results. We also got to meet Jamie Moyer who runs a foundation for children with cancer in Seattle. Apparently, he was with the Mariners organization a long time before going to the Phillies and started his foundation then. He asked Jen how everything was going with her illness and took off his world series championship ring and let her hold it and look at it. It was gigantic! He was really nice and gave autographs for David and Dominic. That was our thrill for the day. Not much else to report. A lot of runny noses in the house from the children but we're trying our best to keep Jen germ-free (no small task). The sun is shining today but that's the first time in many days - lots of rain and dark skies. We'll send along updates as they come in.

ReplyDeleteGreat to hear things are going well and there is a sunny day for you. There has been a lot of rain and clouds here too. Glad you have a beautiful view from your bedroom and other rooms in the house. We miss you Jen, Dave and the kids and think about and pray for you everyday. We look forward to your return to PA.
