Day 10 & 11

On Saturday morning His Grace Foundation hosted a Brunch for all the parents and nurses. Bridger was sleeping so Blake and I where able to go together. It was held in the Dr’s conference room. They set up tables with nice table cloths and floral center peaces. The food was on a buffet table that over looked the construction of a new building. As we sat down and ate amongst some nurses we laughed about how it felt like a date it a funny way, it was very nice of the foundation. After our morning date, I ran a couple of errands that always take way longer than expected; Lysol’d myself and came back to the room. It is always wonderful to have Blake with us. He makes me so happy. One of the nurses asked us how long we have been married. It has been seven years and our marriage has been bliss, that doesn’t mean that life has been. Life can be hard that is why I am so grateful we have each other to lean on.

Bridger has done great for the last two days he has an ANC level it was 0.02 and then 0.03 it is going up but could droop or jump up at any point when this level is at 0.50 for three consecutive days it will mean he has engrafted the new marrow. So it is nice to even see a number even if it goes down. His blood pressure for the last four days or so goes too high around noon every day. Usually medicine is used to help him void extra stored fluid which helps bring the blood pressure down. Today it didn’t so they started him on a small dose of blood pressure medicine. It is not expected to be a long term problem. It is still too early for GVH to be showing up so we will continue forward with prayers and faith. To night before Blake left he went in to the restroom and all of the sudden Bridger said in a sad ton “I miss Dad” he loves his dad so much there are always tears when his dad is gone.

I have to give a special thanks to my two nephews and oldest brother who buzzed their hair. As we looked at their pic’s I said “look what they did for you Bridger, they look so cool, they like their hair buzzed”. Bridger then put his hand on his head and said in a happy tone “I like my hair too”. We owe you one boys, and we love ya a ton!
