It's time to get things organized to get back to the Flathead!!! This has been a pretty tough last few days for Dave. He has really felt "punky", still with no appetite, yet very nauseated. This, along with a little depression (which is very understandable) made for a miserable weekend. Of course the realization of another bone marrow biopsy scheduled for today weighed heavily on his mind. But, today is another day getting us closer to home.
The bone marrow biopsy went smoothly and we should get some preliminary results this afternoon. Regardless of the results, Dave has chosen to return to the Flathead under the care of Dr. Boehme for any treatment forthcoming. I believe he has made a wise decision and will do better with gaining strength, eating and sleeping once he is home.
The staff at Kalispell Regional Medical Center has made arrangements for air ambulance to come to Seattle to bring us home a week from today. Thank you to everyone who is involved in this process. You are truly an amazing bunch!!! Liz, RN (who also is our neighbor) will assist us on the flight. God has blessed us with so many wonderful friends and family, we are amazed and anxious to get home and see everyone. I feel that words alone can't explain our thanks to everyone and I just hope our actions demonstrate our love for you all!!
Ric and Buzzie came and spent the weekend and although Dave wasn't feeling the best they were able to visit with him and spoil me. We had great laughs and I so enjoyed their company. As it usually goes, everyone I introduced them too thought Buzz was my sister and shocked when I said Ric was really my brother.
More pictures will be posted soon, and I will keep everyone informed on happenings.

Dear Dave & Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI work with your daughter Rachel in McMinnville OR, and what a blessing it is for me to get to know her and her family. A few weeks ago she shared your journey with me. I've been spying on your blog since then, and figured it time to let you know that one more person was added to your prayer warrior party. You both (and the rest of your family) are in my prayers as well as that of our church. I check the blog each week to see the progress, and am happy to hear you're heading home. I will continue to lift you in prayer. May God grant you strength and guidance in all you face. May His Light brighten the dark hours and His Grace bring you comfort. God's Peace and Blessings be with you always.
McMinnville, OR
