She Did It!

It is hard to believe that just last week, Nonnie had the doctors baffled about her platelets. As usual, she remained strong and steadfast in her battle against the leukemia! After 26 days in the hospital, Papa was able to take Nonnie home again yesterday afternoon. As you can imagine, they are extremely happy to be home, and Nonnie is catching up on some much needed rest.

She has another doctors appointment late next week, and if she is feeling well, Papa is going fishing in the Sierras with his buddies for the weekend. On the following Monday, a home health nurse will stop by to take her blood and check her PICC line. On Tuesday, they are going to take their long awaited road trip to Oregon! Papa had a little in-service on how to maintain her PICC line while they are away. What a team!

Side note: Dustin's class is having a contest to see how many states they can get a postcard from. If anyone out there is able to help out, please send a post card to our home address. Thank you!

  1. Oh I wish I knew this last week, John went to AZ, New Mexico, and Oklahoma for training. What a bummer! Maybe my mom can send one from AZ!

    Great job Linda, I am so pleased that you are doing well.
    Love,
    Diane
