Waiting, waiting, waiting

Hi all! It's Bill.

It's Saturday morning, and we've got a pretty busy schedule for the day, but I thought I'd drop a quick note to let you know what's been going on.

To be honest, a whole lot of nothing. As Abbey mentioned in her previous post, waiting is the hardest part. Her surgery recovery is going well, she's feeling better all the time. Thanks to Trent's watchful eye, she's doing very well at her breathing exercises. In fact, she felt good enough to go to work on Thursday and Friday. Her coworkers were very happy to see her and I think that the distraction was good for her (I know going to work has been good for me, too).

We did have to cancel our two week trip to New England because we're not sure what her treatment schedule is going to be (and our flight was scheduled to be somewhere between Las Vegas and Charlotte, NC at the same time as Wed's doctor's appointment). But, if we're able to, we still want to head out for a few days to attend Jamie's wedding (Abbey's cousin).

We continue to be blessed by wonderful words of encouragement from friends and family. Thank you all!

love,

Bill, Abbey, and Trent

  1. Hi Bill, Abbey & Trent,
    Yes, the waiting game is absolutely a drag. When I had to wait for result from a lung tap done back on my mom, I fortunately waited just a couple days. So anything longer than that must feel like forever. Then when I got the result, that's the next step & something like reality hits which can be diffficult as well (as it was for me, especially when it's bad news & the phone call is at work). Anyhow, you'll probably feel better once you find out what the treatment plan is to "fight the fight" with this lymphoma. We'll have you in our thoughts Abbey!
    Love,
    Tina & Martin

  2. We'll be thinking about you tomorrow - hope you get positive news! Either way it'll be a relief to know what you're up against so you can start beating it.
