Gary Post Christmas Update

So, we made it through Christmas and we are heading towards New Years! Christmas was memorable and it was great having both my Mom and Dad here with us. Gary has been in bed for days now. His platelet count is very low but we have managed to keep him out of the hospital this weekend.

This morning as we were getting ready to get to church Gary spiked a high fever complete with chills! So, he stayed home and we will head off to the doctors tomorrow morning first thing. I am sure we will spend the entire day there as he will most likely need several different transfusions.

He is tired and in lots of pain. I have upped his meds a little but it does not seem to be helping him.

My aunt, uncle, and grandmother have been here this weekend and they left this afternoon after we enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch. This was the last of the Christmas celebrations and gift opening sessions.

I spent the latter part of the afternoon taking all of the Christmas stuff down and sorting it out on the dining room table to organize it before I get all the bins down to put it all away. I am keeping the tree up until New Years as per everyones request.
The lights on the outside are still festive and I will keep those up as long as possible.

Tonight I pack a day bag for tomorrow. I need everything Gary might possibly need for the day and then things to keep me occupied and busy for the day. If I get prepared tonight it will be easier in the morning for me.

We are headed up to USC on Tuesday to hang out and enjoy their bowl game practice. We are all looking really forward to doing that.

Gary's Dad is hanging in there as he struggles with his cancer battle. We are hoping he can get out here sometime soon to see Gary.

All is quiet - just like I like it. The boys are exhausted. Zach and Nate had sleep overs last night and went to bed super late! Early to bed tonight for everyone!

The Chargers are winning tonight and the game is kinda boring - the reason why I picked this time to blog!

Happy Sunday and Good Thoughts for a Happy Monday!!!

Love,
