11/28 - Saying hello

Thought I would let everyone know how Don is doing since I left you last.  He is improving day by day.  He still continues to get dizzy sometimes when he gets up or bends over.  If you remember his blood pressure was so low many times we had to go over to IPOP for blood work.  It was still low when we left Baltimore but the doctor just said he had to be careful when he stood up or was laying down and got up - we still wonder what was causing this but no one could ever really give us a good explanation.  Well any explanation for that matter.  So he is just careful and always aware of his position so he can raise himself up slow.  His eating is improving and he is getting his taste buds back.  He's not totally there yet but it is improving.  We take turns driving - oh happy day haha!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family.  My daughter cooked the turkey and everyone else brought the sides so it really worked out great that way.  We were able to spend time with our future son in law's parents and that was wonderful.  We did miss our son Brian - his family couldn't make it to dinner as Raelynn had just had her tonsils out.  We did see them early that day so we were happy with that :):).

I return to work tomorrow after being out since September 20.  Will be nice to see everyone but I will miss Don terribly :(.  I know he will be okay since Gram is here and his brother lives right down the road and gets off work early in the day -  so if he needs anything they will be right there.  Of course, if he needs me it won't take me long to get home.

Okay everyone - I'll be back in a few days.  Just wanted you to know how Don is doing.  He does have 2 appointments scheduled for December.  The next one is another bone marrow test which he isn't looking forward to :( - can't say I blame him. 

Keep the prayers coming - we need and appreciate them all!

Until next time......

Love you all!

Don & Muffin
