Post Transfusion Bliss

I just got off the phone with Amy and Katie is done with her transfusions, is feeling much better and is on the way home. She has energy again, is eating finally and is no longer complaining of any discomforts of any kind. I continue to be amazed by the number and severity of symptoms that can be corrected by the simple addition of some blood. It really is the best medicine she gets. When was the last time you gave blood? *wink* *wink*

I talked to Katie on the phone after Amy gave me the update and she was just full of life. She was earnestly directing her mother into a McDonald's drive through before they got too far out of town. I am looking forward to seeing them arrive safely at home again in a couple of hours. Of course, the weather isn't cooperating again and it is snowing just enough to make the roads slippery. But Amy took the Subaru today, and that all-wheel-drive has gotten us safely over these Vermont winter roads in much worse conditions than this.

Tomorrow, one of us will be staying home with Katie again since Grandma Kathy has gone back home. I think the week went well and Grandma is likely to come back again next week.
