IF IT ISN'T ONE THING IT IS ANOTHER!

December 1st.was to mark the beginning of Maintenance if Kristin's counts had recovered. The morning began with a phone ring...."Kristin's counts are garbage, if she is in school she needs to come home, no chemo or LP, no Maintenance,and she needs to be under social lockdown." Rats! Unfortunately Darren had arranged to have to work done on our electrical and heating system. This project ended up to be more than some minor adjustments. There was way too much unhealthy and potentially life threatening construction dust floating around. To compound the situation Kristin's ANC was almost nonexistent. Along with construction dust comes fungal and bacterial spores that when breathed in by an immune compromised person can be very serious.It was way too risky for her to be home. So, we found new hotel, Stay Bridge,and they had some rooms that had never been used. Kristin had her own little apartment suite for four days. We all enjoyed taking turns spending the night with her and the boys loved the new pool. Darren and I juggled trying to keep things going smoothly at home and at the same time making sure that Kristin did not feel abandoned at the hotel. I am always asked how things are going. My new truism is,"If it is not one thing, it is another!" It just seemed fitting the last few weeks. All that said, the very best part of all this was that fact that she made it through the last few weeks of Delayed Intensification 2 without any fever!!!!!!!
