Making Plans

Our departure date for the long awaited transfer to City of Hope in LA is approaching fast and I am getting nervous.  We are still in the hospital! I was really hoping that we would be home by today but, it looks like we will be here until Friday. I am a little stressed out about still being at Sutter, I am feeling so pressed for time and I fear I may not have enough time to pack, plan and prepare for our move. I have already started making a list of all the things we need to pack and do before we leave. HOPEFULLY I don't forget anything.

Yes, we are still in the hospital. ARGH! William is still extremely neutropenic and is therefore "behind double doors" He is not allowed walk around, participate in activities in the play room, or even visit with buddies in their rooms (but they do sneak into ours ;)  ) William's frustration and boredom is at an all time high, unfortunately there is nothing I can seem to do to make it better. Poor lil' man is tired of playing XBox or Wii Games and every time I mention playing a bored game, building a puzzle, or doing some crafts, he looks at me the same way he does when I tell him to do homework or read a book.

If you would like to say good bye to us before we leave (and I have not already contacted you to set something up) please let me know.  As long as you have not had ANY vaccinations or  immunizations  in the last 6 weeks, not currently congested or sick, in perfect health and willing to entertain William ,then you are welcome to visit us while we are in the hospital here at Sutter. I just ask that you please check in at the nurses station and then "sanitize" before entering our luxury suite ;)

I have had a couple of you ask about our new mailing address in Long Beach. Once we get settled in, I will let everyone know what our new contact information is. My mom will be joining William and I in LA. I don't think that I would be able to go through the next few months without her by my side helping out and giving support. 

I am absolutely sad about the thought of being so far away from Randell. It's a horrible thing when a family needs to be split like this. Obviously we will try to have him visit  when possible. I just don't like the thought of William being so far away from daddy and me away from my husband for such an extended period of time. It makes me sad just thinking about it. . . .

Thank you for all your continued love, prayers, support and friendship.

Keep on Keepin on.
Live Strong in God's love
