Day +71


Rachel and Amy at Red Lobster. Rachel is wearing on the cute hats that our friend Kittie made for her.

Our friend Amy came to see us this weekend. We had a great time visiting and catching up. She brought a Monopoly Card game for us to play. It was such fun and much faster than playing the board game. Who would have thought..Monopoly a card game?


A few weeks ago Kim (our care partner) gave Rachel a wig. It needed to be trimmed to fit Rachel's face and Amy was able to take care of that for her! Thanks Amy! She wore the wig today along with a hat that Kittie from church made for her. She looked so cute and I meant to take a picture, but forgot! I will try to remember the next time she wears it.


Sunday we had dinner with Kim and her family. It was so nice to met her husband and 2 boys. As I have mentioned before, Kim's son Eric had a bone marrow transplant about 15 yrs ago. He is doing so well and it was nice to meet him after hearing so much about him from Kim. He received his transplant back in the early days of metabolic transplants. Kim has been a perfect care partner for us because she has been where we are.


Tomorrow Rachel has a clinic appointment with Dr. Orchard praying that the ALT levels are still down and the creatinine levels are down as well. Will give another update tomorrow night.

  1. Rachel, You look so cute in the picture. Your color looks better than when I was there. You must be feeling better. I am praying for you daily--so glad you are going home next week. I think a dose of family might be just what you need. Give your mom a hug for me.
