First things first: I just got off the phone with Bob and he told me there's a slight chance that he may be discharged tomorrow. (Yea!!! I'm crossing my fingers and toes and anything else that I can manage to cross!) His preliminary blood work looks really good, but he's getting a blood transfusion today, as the chemo interferes with bone marrow production, which is where hemoglobin (oxygen component of blood) is produced. The infusion will increase his hemoglobin, while his marrow production gets rolling again. They'll do more tests tomorrow and know how everything looks for sure, and of course, they won't let him go home until everything is right as it should be again. But I just wanted to get the word out, in case anyone is thinking to stop by for a visit. Text or call Bob before you do, so you don't arrive to an empty room!
On to the next exciting item! We've decided we'd like a little more interaction with our viewing audience (because there's only so much sitting around in a hospital room one can do before one starts doing things like taking pictures of the patient in compromising situations . . .). As such, we're going to have a Caption Contest! I've posted a picture of Bob below, and we're looking for a great caption that best fits the scenario. The picture is just too awesome to keep to ourselves and is begging for a title, a slogan, something that best captures the spirit of what Bob is expressing here. (I already came up with a few, but will refrain, in the spirit of fairness, and because you all are already subjected to enough of my crap!) We're not sure yet what the prizes for the winners are (maybe some hospital souvenirs, maybe a date with Bob, maybe a great big bucket of nothing!!!), so don't try too hard! Bob could use a few laughs, so have fun and make him proud!

ReplyDeleteMy 2nd caption attempt, "It's Magically Delicious!"
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThe delete message actually was almost what I had posted after that, but I messed up, and couldn't figure out how to edit once posted, and then decided to just delete the original posting and re-post. However, it keeps up the "posting has been removed" message. :) I wish I had a really good story behind the removal of my comment, but nothing more than I'm just sofa king stupid when it comes to figuring out how to edit what I had that I went the round about way. :)
Like the "magically delicious" posting!
We send love and strength to your family, your mom and dad, too, during this difficult time.
Best,
Jill
