It has been a difficult couple of weeks....Filled with many Doctor appointments due to Michael's very low blood counts....He has had lots of IV fluids because he is so dehydrated and he is very anemic so he is also getting blood transfusions (they have to give the blood bank 24 hours to locate the blood that he requires because it has to contain some kind of anti-body and it is not that common)
Today he was suppose to get his medi-port put in, (which goes under the skin up by the collar bone) but they could not place it in him because his platelet count was so low and they would not risk the fact that he might not be able to clot...so they put in a pick line which goes in his arm...this is a temporary thing but it will save him from having to be stuck with needles every time a procedure needs to be done...his veins are collapsing and rolling so it is becoming very difficult for them to find one to use...He is down to 135 pounds now...and is barely eating...but he maintains his spirit....
Some days....some moments are better for me than others...
He has decided that he will continue on fighting until his body says no more...we are in it for the long haul...
BE WELL...
rambles from the shadow side of life...About living...about living with dying....This is where my heart will pour forth...this is where my shadow will be exposed...this is where I will cry...where I will laugh...where I will become one with that shadow of life...

With that said, dear one, so are we. Though far away, your friends lift you up and surround you with love and light you and Michael will need for this continued battle. If you need a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a hand to hold, don't hesitate to reach out.
May God send many blessings your way.
Yes, we R in for the long haul as well. U R in my prayers and not far from my thoughts. Blessings & hugs.
