Time ....

... it seems to being going at warp speed.Hard to believe, when life primarily consists of sitting,sitting and sitting some more,in a hospital room all day long.We are rapidly approaching the 4 week mark inpatient.They said 4-6 weeks and I guess they knew what they were talking about once again.My mind is spinning.I am pulled in so many different directions.I sit to blog and I have a million different topics I want to address but do not have the time,space or ability to sort them out,to make any sense.I have unanswered emails.Beautiful comments left here to reply to.High school graduation to prepare for.New grand baby to make way for.Friendships neglected.Relationships in need of repair.5 other children who need me on vastly different levels and oh yeah,a husband,that come Saturday,I will have been married to for 22 years.And ... I have only scratched the surface here folks.Conclusion:I am running on fumes.Light vapors barely sustaining me.But,I flip that autopilot switch on daily and go.Hoping and praying that I can put off hitting that wall that I KNOW looms somewhere in the not so distant future.So tonight,instead of touching on one of the aforementioned topics,I am choosing to avoid and just post once again on Miss Zoey.She seems the least complicated of choices right now,believe it or not.What has Wednesday brought us?Number one,a VERY pale Zoey.I mean seriously pale.Can you say,transfusion?Yes that will be on the agenda tomorrow.Platelets lower but leveling off hopefully and white count is up by a little.Still no ANC and still probably going to fake us out with an increase than decrease than increase,over the next few days.The good thing is that they have decided to draw labs daily so we can watch for trends.Zoey's spirits are the best that I have seen in days and days.She is charming the masses at CHLA and she keeps me smiling absolutely nonstop.Speaking of stop,I better stop now.Tired and sore from my evening runs and still,at 12:30 am,a few more things to be done around here.Prayers for an increase in numbers tomorrow please,as I am going stir crazy in 409B and so want to bring my baby home.Where she belongs.

*We have been so very blessed to have met not one,not two,not three but FOUR of our blogging buddies.First there was the very handsome Reid.Let me tell you,that boy is to die for.Then came our buddy Jax and his amazing family.Lacey and Ray are two incredible parents and as we sat on the floor that day I so wished they lived closer.A little over a week ago it was the darling Preslie and crew.Who,we felt in an absolute instant, as if we had known them forever.A side note shhh, don't tell anyone but they could possibly be moving here.Can you believe that?Jax and his family are talking about that as well ... how lucky would I be?Last but not least is the sweet Ella Grace and her equally sweet mom Denise who came up yesterday.Ella was born with the same transient leukemia as Zoey and the wacky world of blogging brought us together.Is that not amazing.These families took time out of their days,fought traffic,altered their family trips,after very long days on the road and still found their way down to CHLA to spend time with us.I cannot begin to tell you how much all of these families and their beautiful children have come to mean to us.Thank you is insufficient.We love you all.
