I didn’t realize that it had been so many days since I posted on the blog. Overall, it’s been a really good past week and a half home with Elizabeth. We were disappointed that she had to come get platelets all the way up in Salt Lake on her week off, but even that went well and she was able to get in, get her one unit of plasma, and get home without any complications or much discomfort. She has spent lots of time painting. (Her fall canvas paintings are lovely! I’d post a picture if we were still home.) We have enjoyed fun family game nights, especially with Uncle James. She was able to do a movie night with a few friends. Yesterday our stake president stopped by for a visit and gave her a very nice blessing. He let her know of the many, many people praying for her. In the evening her vaulting coach dropped off a few gifts bags from all of her awesome friends from the horse vaulting team and, as usual, we were blown away by the thoughtfulness and generosity put into everything in those bags. She got a cute hat, more paint stuff, great snacks, two TEVC (her vaulting team) logo sweatshirts, and some AMAZING silk pillowcases. THANK YOU wonderful people!!! We're back in the hospital now for our 5 day chemo. Elizabeth is all settled in. Her port is accessed and they've given her nausea meds and they're just about to start the chemo drugs.
