I have to apologize for not updating for so long, I've been busy but mostly lazy. We were blessed to get into Hope Lodge on April 24...the doctor had given us permission to go home for the week-end and while at the clinic we happened to see the outpatient social worker and stopped her to ask if we were going to get into Hope Lodge or would we need to continue to stay at an extended stay hotel,and she said a room had just come available for us. We dropped a few things off to hold our place and went home for my week-end of freedom. Hope Lodge is a wonderful place to stay and we feel quite blessed to be here.
Being able to be at home with my family was everything I wanted it to be, normal family time which was perfect for all of us. Laura came back to Atlanta with me and my sister Cathy stayed with the girls, we stayed until Thursday and then were able to come back and spend some of Addy's sixth birthday with her. She was very excited to go to a Japanese steak house for dinner and the next day I went to her school and did the regular birthday 'show and tell' that her school does and she got to serve bread she had made to her classmates which was very thrilling for her. She had a party with her friends on Sunday afternoon at The Little Gym which was wonderful for her and I think overall her birthday week-end was a six year old's dream come true...and she still gets a birthday visit from her Nana and Papa this Friday so more fun is to come.
The doctor has changed some of my medications and I have a spinal tap this Monday afternoon but they are still happy with my progress so we are as well. I get to go home again this week-end but have at least the week to go after that before I can be based from home rather than Atlanta. Please continue to pray for me and that the results of the spinal tap are positive. We love and appreciate all of you and your support.
