Blair switched me out on Friday late afternoon. It is amazing what you can accomplish in 12 hours of awake time. I did tons of laundry, washed a few dishes, got 3 kids packed for their trip, played Boggle and Rummikub with the kids, watched some basketball with Megan, tucked everyone in bed, went through several days worth of mail, slept in my own bed, and showered in my own shower! Here they are visiting Lauren before heading to the airport on Sat afternoon. I was so sad to have them leave. The kids arrived fine, minus one suitcase which appeared in the middle of the night. Lauren spent Sunday sleeping and having some fun visitors. Her hemoglobin is dropping again which makes her very tired. They tested it again this morning - I expect she will need another transfusion later today. The orthopedic doctors came to visit - the MRI shows no structural damage in her spine. It does show some swelling and a bit of a sprain in her lower back. Movement should help improve that - but she can't walk around much yet. The MRE shows some findings and she had an MRA this morning. Blood work shows she has an inflammatory process going on and the MRA will check for blood vessel problems. They see thickened bowel and lymphnodes, so we will wait to see how it is all interpreted and what the next step will be.
