Half way there!!

We are shooting for Monday as the big release day!!! Eric is doing great. His WBC = 0.54 today. They are basically doubling daily. Dr. B is very pleased with Eric's progress. I came into the hospital yesterday and the nurses commented on how well he we doing.

In a way, it will almost be hard to leave.. We have come to know the nurses well... Eric has even been trying to play match-maker with one of the nurses and Brian. HA! Usually I am the one doing that! We will miss and continue to think of some of the other patients and families too!! Some have been fighting for weeks now and have many more weeks left!

My project went live yesterday!!! YAHOO!! It all went good. We were up Wednesday night until 10:30 p.m. testing and validating and then I was up til midnight preparing for the next morning when all employees came in to find their new system. All went well. I few expected minor things.. We worked through them yesterday. I left the office late yesterday afternoon for the weekend. NO work today!!! I am looking forward to spending the weekend with Eric. Oh, I am going to see some of my family tomorrow. Should be an interesting day!! :)

Saturday night Chris and Andrea come home. Eric is glad he will get to see them again before he is released. I plan to spend Easter at the hospital with Eric. We brought "The Passion" and was hoping to watch it. However the hosptial wing doesn't have a DVD player. All they have are VCR's.. What is that???? We might have to see if we can borrow one from somewhere for the day. Maybe more people in the unit might be interesting in watching the movie on Easter day.

I am going to miss the kids and grandkids this weekend. Adam, Bonnie and the kids always come home for Easter. Last year Cole and I made a bunny cake and we enjoyed Grandma Lois and her fun/creative games in the yard!!! We will have to have a late Easter celebration sometime after we get home.

Well, I am off for the day. Gonna go enjoy the beautiful weather and hang with Eman.

Happy Birthday Clayton!!!!!! LOVE YOU!
