Saturday July 31

Well, do I need to tell ya'll how excited we are about going to Atlanta on Monday. We'll be getting all the finals, dates and test results. Betty will be going with us. We'll leave early so we can have lunch. I'm glad that Betty's going. She may have questions that we haven't thought of, doubt it, but maybe. We're also counting down the days to our last day at work. The guys at GE is feeding Lonnie an awful lot. They told him that their fatten him up because they know that he'll lose alot of weight. They found a replacement for Lonnie. We have alot to do before we go. We're going to go a day early so we can get settled in the apartment then off to the zoo and then CNN. Oh yeah, don't forget about the Varsity. That is a must!!! Ya'll have a good weekend and I'll be posting more maybe Tuesday

July 27th News from Atlanta

Lonnie got word that the donor will do the transplant on our time. That is so good. Some of the tests came back and they were good too. We'll be going to Atlanta on the 2nd of August for classes, meetings and I'm not sure what else. Betty and Phil will be going with us. Things are starting to roll. Let's hope it keeps rolling. He hasn't been feeling all that great lately, but he still is looking good. To look at him you wouldn't know that anything is wrong with him.. Ya'll take care and keep Lonnie in your prayers. Love you all

The Atlanta Trip

who is this???? I know!

after his lumbar puncture

after a day of testing

one of the tall buildings in Atlanta

this is the needles that's going to do the bone marrow biopsy

lonnie don't know what's in for him

Well, it was a trip. Atlanta is pretty but big. Lonnie loves the Varsity so we went there, I was hoping to get a throw from there but they didn't have one. It was a ruff time for Lonnie and myself. I listen to him in pain. He does not like needles at all... He's doing good. Just a little pain from all the tests. Here's some pictures...

1st day in Atlanta

Well to day is finally over. I watched Lonnie get a bone marrow biopsy. Didn't see the whole thing. the nurse doing it was in my way. Lonnie went through alot today. To watch him made me realize that it's finally sinking in, not just for me but for him too. Tomorrow we'll be doing the lumbar puncture. Then a few hours later we'll be back home....Took some pictures today. Lonnie took me downtown Atlanta. That was pretty....Catch up tomorrrow when we get home

Atlanta

Well, the first round of Atlanta is tomorrow. We'll be leaving after I get off of work. We should be leaving around one. Lonnie will be going through several tests and of course more blood work. We'll be back home Tuesday late afternoon. He'll be having lumbar puncture, they'll be watching him for 4 to 6 hours then we'll come home. The next round is August 2nd. All that is paper work and classes, we'll only be there for the day. Alot of stuff to go through for a transplant. We're both looking forward to get this started and over with so we can continue enjoying our home and life... Pray that we have a safe trip

Getting closer

Well, the weekend is almost here. Will be going to Atlanta on Sunday. Monday is a big day of nothing but testing. Tuesday he'll have a lumbar puncture. Then when he's able we'll be heading home. They'll be going over the transplant with us and confirming those dates. The hotel we'll be staying at might be the one that we'll be living in for the 4 months. I know the first thing that we'll do Sunday is head to the Varsity for their famous hot dog. Lonnie can't go to Atlanta without going to the Varsity.

4th of july

We had a great weekend. Lonnie's been off since June 26th. He's relaxing and doing what wants. A childhood friend came up for the weekend. Linda and her friend Dave. I had to work but was able to spend some time with them and got to know Linda alot better. I love her to death. I'm glad I had the chance to get to know her and Dave. Dave insisted on getting fire crackers. That was alot of fun. Dave was just like a kid...We all were! They had to leave on Sunday and we both hate to see them leave.
