Well I guess the doctors were right...there is nothing you can do to help your RBC's. Brian had to get a transfusion today. Now I feel guilty that the steak didn't work and I raised his cholesterol (vegetables for the rest of the weekend). It has worked in the past but not this round.
What is ironic is that the place I'm interning at for the summer hosted a blood drive today. So while Brian was having his blood transfusion I was donating. It felt pretty good knowing that while he was getting blood I was helping someone else. It is so easy to donate blood and you can help so many people out. It meant a lot that although I have been there 8 weeks everyone chipped in and donated blood to help out a good cause. We are very blessed that so many people want to help.
Brian was pretty run down the past two days so the blood couldn't have come at better time. Hopefully, tomorrow he has a little more hop in his step.
Our trip to Iowa City went well yesterday. We really don't have much news share. It was a LONG trip but very helpful. We are blessed to be in the care of many good doctors. Brian was able to grab some pizza from Wig & Pen.
Thanks for the continued prayers and support, you all are TRULY God's angels.
Hopefully Brian will feel better and will be able to write some more insightful things then what I can! He is a pretty amazing person.
Hey Brian/Stacey,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you guys. You get some rest and your bounce will be back. I've been doing more reading and words that keep chasing me are trust......faith.......There are some things we just have to listen to God and He will lead us. Take a deep breath, that will be all of our love and thoughts coming to you. We are so grateful for you guys!
Love,
Craig and Rose
