Wednesday, July 18, 2007: A Sleepy Start

We got home this morning at 1:00. Kristi is still sleeping, but says she feels 'OK' (I have a hard time sleeping in so I usually just lye there and poke at her...so one time when she woke up I asked her how she felt - she said 'OK, just sleepy'...but now she's sleeping again).

Overall, things went as smoothly as they could with the transfusions last night. Fortunately, we were at Holland Hospital so that made it a lot nicer; and the nurses were great too (Amy and Kristin). We definitely had a curve ball thrown at us yesterday and as much as I'd like to say we hit a home run, both of our attitudes were a little down. So, I'll say we hit a double. The nurses definitely made it much more tolerable. They were great. The one nurse (Amy) Kristi knew from Coffee Break and hadn't seen her in a couple years. So that was nice for the girls to have a reunion!

I guess in the grand scheme of things it was all just a minor inconvenience. It's done now. We should be used to this by now but every time it happens it catches us off-guard. Oh well. Hopefully Kristi will be able to go on the boat ride tonight. We'll update again tonight or tomorrow (depends when we get back tonight) and tell you how things went at the Poker Run.
