Well, it has been a mixed birthday for John today. He started feeling really badly last night around bedtime, so we headed to Newton and the emergency room. The good thing is that his potassium was good, and his EKG was okay, some rhythm issues but overall okay. The bad part is that he really felt awful, and they couldn't do anything about it. We spent several hours there, then came home and he tried to get some sleep. He still feels pretty badly today, no appetite and feels very stiff and worn out. We know there will be some days he feels better than others, but it sure is hard when they can't do anything to make him feel better.
We were very glad to be close to the hospital, though, so it reinforces the fact that we were right to stay closer to a hospital that can help him if needed. We are planning a very quiet birthday for him and a quiet Easter. Hopefully we will be able to celebrate more when he feels better. Happy Easter to all of you, and hope you get to spend it with family and friends.

Missy, our prayers continue for you both.
ReplyDeleteMissy & John: Even though it's a dreary day outside (Monday), it reminds me that God provides what we need, every day! May the sunshine tomorrow warm your mind, body and soul. We keep you close in prayer.
ReplyDeleteSusan went looking for you today at Emory. Dana will be starting a new harvesting of stem cells to prep for another transplant. I am so thankful you both have good doctors "with a plan". Love ya, Suzette & Perry
