Mayo update

this is what we do here at Transplant House in between treatments. I knit, Ben reads and we drink hot tea, are we 80? we had more bad news yesterday, after 11 hours of treatment..plasma exchange, IVIG...nothing worked to bring the antibodies down. i am having a permanent access put in my arm on Monday and we fly back to Fairbanks later in the week. it was a disappointing day, but today is better.
TrevAH came to visit and we had fun hanging out at Mayo Clinic. if there is anyone to have fun at a hospital with it's TrevAH.
here i am in one of the waiting rooms today, i have been a knitting fool. i knitted straight thru 11 hours of iv treatments yesterday and all day today. i finished this scarf for a friends birthday and almost Ben's hat.

you have NO idea the thrill it gives me to see you just knitting away! seriously, as i told you earlier, it's a good way to be productive through the not-so-good stuff.

hang in there and i can't wait to see you soon!
