Sorry to start out making these entries downers all the time. I have been meaning to write an entry for awhile now to tell you all how positive John and I now are. How different our attitudes are. How we can really handle things. And all of that is true!
But is it kind of hard right now also. John was admitted to the hospital yesterday. I won't go into the whole thing, but he had a reaction to one of the drugs he was taking. He needs it in order to have a successful transplant. Now the doctors are trying to find a med that will replace the one that he was on. It has to be a certain kind that is not contraindicated with his upcoming BMT. If one is not found in time for January, his BMT will have to be postponed. I am probably panicking a little here, jumping the gun, but prayers would make me very happy. Thank you so much.
So how am I doing? Sad. Sad that he was transferred to a hospital that is too far away for me to even visit. Concerned that he may not get better in time. On the other hand, I am not going to jump to conclusions. I think I am holding out pretty steady. I am pretty proud of myself for functioning quite well. I am doing what I have to do. I get up everyday and function, take care of myself, eat right, exercise. I even feed the cat, lol. I am getting by. I am doing Christmas cards. And I am about to burst into tears, lol. Such is life. Okay, that is enough of the dramatics. I have faith in the Lord and I have faith in John. John is a fighter. And John and I are positive. So we will be just fine. :)
...........come closer Krissy (((((((((((((( big hugs, lots of thoughts ))))))))))))), you're doing great, it's a tense time, you've many arms round you and Johns shoulders, in many thoughts. xxxxxxxRache
ReplyDeleteHi Krissy,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about John in the hospital...once they get him on the right meds, I am sure he will feel better and hopefully keep to the schedule of the BMT. You are going to be fine...your strong and have been through all of this...our prayers and thoughts are with you both!

So sorry to hear that John is in the hospital. I know there are always so many ups and downs. I'm sending prayers your way! Keep taking good care of yourself, John needs you to be strong. And you are very strong!

Sorry John had a reaction to the meds but it's better he had it now rather than nearer the time of his transplant. They have more time to find a more suitable drug. My prayers are with you both at this time. Sorry it's too far away to visit John and hope he will be home soon. (((( )))) Love Jeannette.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what we can do when we don't have a choice isn't it. I learned a while back that the right things will happen at the right times. Have faith my friend. Hand the keys over to God and let Him do the driving.
ReplyDeleteSending my heartfelt wishes Krissy and a little something in the post, which may help ease things a bit. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLove Sylvia xx

Our prayers and hopes are with you and John, You have been so strong - so you must stay that way - I am sad you cannot visit as he is too far away, - I hope they find the med to replace the one John had a reaction to. I know they will do their best for him...We are all thinking of you both...and are here for you if you need anything.......Ally
ReplyDeleteKrissy,
ReplyDeleteI have said a prayer for you both....I've prayed for several things for you both. Let us know how it goes. Don't worry about entries being downers. When someone is ill it is difficult for it to be otherwise. You have always had a positive spirit, even today. You have been so strong but sometimes you need to feel the way you feel and it's ok to show it - here anyway, on J land. We are your buds and support you. God is in control and I'm so so so glad that you have that understanding.
Hope you feel God's love around you both.

Krissy when I have written this I am off to light a candle for John on the candle site. Big big hugs to you my dear friend. I will hold you both in prayer. Oh, let those tears go, they are your safety valve. John knows that you are with him even if you cannot be there personally. Hang on in there, things will get better.
