Day 13 & 14

Most of yesterday was pretty rough for Kristine.  She had a terrible night becoming sick to her stomach and suffering from a debilitating headache from 8pm and lasting until 3pm the following day.  After a long nap, she felt pretty good and was able to eat a bit and take a shower.  The doctor evaluated Kristine's "chart" and believe there is a correlation between one of her antibiotics and the onset of her headaches.  So he prescribed something a little stronger than Tylenol which allowed Kristine to get a good night of much needed rest.

So today has been a pretty good day thus far.  Kristine had a nice long visit with our parents, then Kathy and I were allowed to take her for a short walk along the halls of her floor.  Kristine has to wear a face mask and gloves to keep the germs away and we give her a blanket to keep her warm.  She enjoys being able to get out of her room, though it isn't that often as she has not been feeling well enough to do so.

Tomorrow Kristine will undergo a bone marrow biopsy.  Kristine isn't looking forward to the procedure as it is very painful, but she is optomistic that the results will be exactly what we're all praying for.  I'll be sure to provide the results as soon as we find out as I know all of you are anxiously awaiting the news just as we are.

Until then, thank you everyone for your warm wishes, loving prayers and beautiful cards.  They lift Kristine's spirits more than you know!
