Its good to be home

Home:
These last few days at home have been amazing. I've spent my time between resting and spending it with family and friends. I've visited my friends at work, had dinner with my mom and dad in law, did a little shopping with my mom (my Dr. said I should walk the mall to build my strength back up, I think walking Target counts), taking three hour naps each day. I've spent my days with family visiting me and my evenings relaxing with my amazing husband and sweet girls. Sleeping in my own bed at night has been wonderful. Its amazing how much sleep you can get when someone isn't waking you up throughout the night to check your vitals or draw some lab work. Last night the girls and I decorated a tiny Christmas tree for their room, Frozen themed of course, complete with purple lights. They loved it, and so did I!

Thank you to all the family and friends who've been helping us out and bringing us meals. I can't express how much we appreciate it all!

Health:
I've been feeling a little stronger each day. Being home helps :) I had a follow up Drs. appointment in town yesterday with my Lafayette Endocrinologist just to make sure my Lafayette Drs. and Indy Drs. are all on the same page. I go back to Indy next week, Wednesday, to discuss my "Plan" with my Drs. and to discuss more on the transplant.

Prayer Request:
Fear- I have a lot of fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of what may or may not happen, fear of what I might miss out on if something does happen. My kids are sharing their fears too, as to be expected. Every morning when they leave for school they make sure I'll still be here when they get home and I have to promise them I will be here waiting for them. If I have a Drs. appointment they want to know if its just for a few minutes or if I'll be staying overnight. They want mommy home and I want to be home! Strength for my husband. I know all this weighs on him and he has a lot on his shoulders. He still manages our day to day life, goes to work each day, takes care of me and our girls,  and not to forget all the healthcare items he's staying on top of.

I'm asking (begging) God for complete healing in my body, to sustain my health, life and my family.

Lots of Love - Jessie

  1. Hi Jessie! I'm thinking about you today, as I do every day, and missing chatting with you about Dancing With the Stars and Peyton Manning and everything. Praying for a perfect plan tomorrow! Rita
