These are the Days of our Lives...

Yesterday, Katie and I headed to Houston to get her blood drawn to test for her stem cell level. She was NOT yet at the right level, so they sent us home. We made it back into town in time to go with William to the doctor. The kids stayed at great-grandma & great-grandpa's house while we went to see the doctor. (Great-grandma made homemade chicken and dumplings MMMM) Dr. Veazey said that he thought William had a herniated or blown disc in his cervical spine (neck), so he sent him to get an MRI. Today, the doctor's office called to say that he does NOT have a herniated or blown disc but instead does have degenerative disc disease (kinda like arthritis in the spine). They have referred him to another doctor to get a shot. Right now he is doing well on pain medicine (aka vica-friend!!!!) Tomorrow, we are heading BACK to Houston for the THIRD time this week. They are prepared to give Katie blood and platelets tomorrow. Hopefully her blood levels will be at the right level and she can have her stem cells collected.
