Monday, Ron went to Presby for ultrasound to check the hematoma...still the same in size and it is definitely a clot, so there is nothing to drain at this point. They will continue to watch.
BIG NEWS! Dr. Shires, Dr. Arslanlar and Dr. Dittman all gave their blessing for Ron to travel to Tucson this weekend for our niece's wedding. They are all very excited for him to do something "normal". Of course, I have a mile long list of instructions and things to watch for, as well as personal pager number and in one case personal cell phone number for our docs! And even which hospital to take him to if the need arises! How's that for great doctors??? We are to call them as soon as we get back in town to let them know how things went.
So, the last two days have been spent with me running around like a mad woman getting flights arranged, rental car, airline forms for medical exception filled out (to be able to clear security with all of his necessary medical equipment and supplies), medical supplies we'll take with us packed, (along with arrangements to have some of it shipped directly from the pharmacy to the hotel), and oh, did I mention in the meantime I'm still running a household, taking care of an invalid (or so he likes me to think he is...he's capable of doing much more but won't unless forced! How's that for being spoiled???!!!) and preparing to return to work on Monday?? Praise God I have the kids here to help out...and they are all GREAT help. It's been such a blessing having all of them live here!
I'm a little anxious but more so, very excited...for both of us!!! We can't wait to be with some of our wonderfully supportive family! And to enjoy a beautiful weekend filled with making lifelong memories! As you can imagine, we are so much more aware of the importance of family, friends and memories.
AND today is our sweet Ryan's 28th birthday!!!! Happy Birthday, Ryan! I was reflecting this morning on 28 years ago today....all the Gregory family filled the waiting room at Glenview Hospital anxiously anticipating the birth of the first grandchild. And, as always, you did things in your own way, and own time...after 24 hours of labor, you made your dramatic entrance into this world and our hearts! We are so proud of you and the Godly man you have become!
Not sure I'll get a chance to update while away, but please pray for a MEDICALLY UNEVENTFUL (restful would be nice,too!) weekend away!
