This week is littered with doctors appointments for Eric. Thankfully Peggy, Eric's mom, is in town for the rest of the week, so she will be here to cart Eric back and forth from Orem to Salt Lake. I, unfortunately, have to continue going to school for the next couple weeks. This is the schedule for next week.
Monday: A bone marrow biopsy. Actually two bone marrow biopsies. They will be extracting from both of Eric's hips. He is really not looking forward to this and I don't think anyone can blame him.
Wednesday: PT Scan is scheduled. I don't think this will be painful, but I guess we have a lot to learn about all of this. A PT is like a CT Scan except it is your entire body.
Thursday: This is the day we've been waiting for for a long time. We will be meeting with Dr. Gilbert and going over everything. By then we will know which type of lymphoma, and which type of chemo they will be doing. We have so many questions and yes, we have been writing them down. Look for a post Thursday evening.
Friday: This one is debatable, but Eric believes he was told that he would start chemo on this day. We hope he does, because we are ready to get this all started, or ended, whichever way you look at it.

My heart is aching for the both of you...I love you both so much and want the best for you! The Lord is mindful of you and knows that you will learn many things from this challenging "blessing" and grow closer together as a wonderful couple! You are both strong and can get through ANYTHING as you rely on the Lord, your friends and family, and each other.

Can't help but notice that the iphone is strategically placed...ready for texting and/or games! It's always so hard to see anyone hooked up to tubes and wires...but I guess we just need to focus on the fact that we're at war, and they're just part of our battle armor! Add the armor of God, and we're well equipped for this conflict! Onward, soldiers!
ReplyDeleteHolly and Eric,
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers and if there's ANYTHING you need- I'm just up the street in Orem. Don't hesitate to ask!!!
Love,
Kayla Flanagan
