This week has gone by incredibly fast, almost too fast for Avi and my liking. It sort of hit us last night when I came home from work and we had that moment of quiet when the t.v. got turned down and we reflected on the day. For the past five months we have been anxiously awaiting this transplant, knowing it would be the ending of a kind of hellish journey. We get it, we have learned a lot and we are really blessed in life. It doesn't stop the fact that this next step is really scarey for both of us. Not in the "something bad will happen" but the "I hate the unknown" way. The past few weeks have been quiet and passed quickly with little happening beyond the blood draws to check his levels and the minor dose of Radiation he has been recieving this week. He is more tired than I would like to see, before something as major as a transplant happening, but over all in really good spirits. Monday he checks into the hospital for five weeks (at minimum) and the last part of this will begin. The transplant itself seems not to worry him, or me for that matter, it is when he thinks about leaving and not being able to be home or curl up in bed with me at night that brings tears to his eyes. My hope is that it will pass as quickly as this last week has passed and before I know it he will be sitting with me in the back-yard as I garden and enjoying all the things he loves to do. One day at a time right?
Today I am grateful for...
