This is the period of time where we just wait. Wait for the blood levels to slowly continue to drop, wait for the blood levels to come back up, wait to leave the hospital, wait to feel better... and the list goes on - WAITING.
Yesterday was an okay day. It started off the same as the last few... feeling blah. Shelly had great company though to help take the edge off of the blah day. Steve's sisters Debby and Rosemarie spent the day with Shelly. It was another day of making goals and setting out to achieve them. She showered, went for 2 walks, ate but didn't keep the food down so much. Brushing her teeth is not exactly a fun experience. Those darn gag reflects are not easily controlled at this point. The late evening brought on another round of nausea, thank heavens Steve was with her. There wasn't anyone scheduled to spend the night with Michelle, so after Steve watched her get sick, he decided to make a bed on the couch.
Today has brought on another day of goal setting and achieving. Shower, check, they rest are yet to be conquered. Shelly's heart today longs to be elsewhere. Her thoughts and prayers have been with Cindy Lowe and her family. She would love to walk through Zach and Melanie's house to see all the changes taking place there, and of course the luxury of being surrounded by those she loves in her own home. Soon Shelly, soon. Just a little paitence and a short time of waiting and then you will be able to enjoy every second of life again.

We love you Michelle!!! And cannot wait to see you when you get all better!!!
I had no idea about all of this going on! I just saw a post from Rondi on Facebook and followed it over. I read through all the posts here, I can't believe it. I will be praying for you Michelle, and your family. I know I haven't see you in awhile but I still have great memories of you from young women's. I know you are a strong woman!
Michelle, Can you have visitors? If so when are the best times to visit? How is Gerald doing? Still praying for you both!!
