Thanks again to those of you who prayed for me yesterday afternoon. I'm so glad to say IT'S OVER! My bone marrow biopsy is over! Phew!! It actually wasn't as bad as I had imagined it would be, so that is a huge praise! My mother and grandmother went with me, so that Kevin could save his vacation days (we're hoping he'll need to use some of them later this year for pregnancy appointments :-)). … [Read more...]

I told myself that I was going to just go out and get a retail job in … [Read more...]

I saw him during my pregnancy with Andrew to make sure my levels were at least stable (he seemed to think it was pregnancy related since I've had no other symptoms of anything serious).
