Wednesday morning and I'm on the train going to work. Again I'm wishing I was staying at home - or at least working closer to home. Fortunately yesterday wasn't a bad day - and like any days at the office - you have your good days and not so good days. Over the weekend - Sunday to be exact - we had the birthday party for Gabby and Arielle. It was very nice. This is the first time we invited so many people to our place and we were pleasantly surprised that things were still comfortable. If we didn't have our huge porch / patio then we would have been in some trouble - but I've noticed it sure does help to have a large patio.
The kids enjoyed themselves immensely and all in all it was a lot of fun. I had over-estimated the amount of meet we would need and ended up grilling until the gas ran out and after changing the tank and finishing up the last batch decided that I'm not grilling anymore. So one bowl of chicken got left behind (which went into storage for another day).
On Monday Gabby and I woke up with the cold. I had (primarily) a low grade fever, while Gabby has a sore throat. We both felt yucky. Because we woke up not feeling well I called the BMT coordinator to let him know about our changed condition and whether Jonathan's appointment could be shifted to Wednesday instead? After a couple phone calls it was decided that the best bet was for Gabby and I to get checked out by our PCP (primary care physician) to make sure nothing worse was going on based on that information they'll decided whether to start on Wednesday or push to the following week - on Monday.
By Tuesday morning Arielle's nose started to 'run' and we didn't know if Jonathan got the cold and the symptoms are not presenting themselves as yet - so the medical team decided to push everything off to next week Monday. In a way this is good because it means we get one more weekend together as a family. It also means that Gabby and I can use one day this weekend to celebrate our 6th year anniversary. With our wedding anniversary being the 15th I'm thinking we can go out somewhere on Saturday night and make it special ;). I know Gabby is looking forward to us doing something - since we don't often do anything - so hopefully I'll be able to surprise her this year : ).
With the delay for Jonathan starting - it also means that some of his tests have to be redone, including an audio cardiogram and various blood tests. Once that gets done today - then it's a matter of resting (at home) and letting the healing begin. Hopefully all goes well this week for a successful start of Jonathan's BMT procedure next week.
