Yes, Nilly! Visit!

Got the results of Teddy's bloodwork. Creatine and calcium down to within normal levels. High end of normal, but normal. Red blood cells and "baby" red blood cells low, in the anemic range. May also be a minor stomach ulcer (which, with the stress he's been under the last month or so, isn't surprising). Result: Add Pepcid, continue prednisone and appetite stimulant, reduce fluid frequency to every 3 days, more blood work next Friday.

Awesome! When will you know for sure?

I'm not sure exactly. One of our friends is a derby referee here and he let us know the convention organizers were looking for bands and one of our fans who is a rollergirl is in contact with the organizers/she may be one of the organizers. So I expect she'll let us know for sure. I hope we know soon so we can book rooms! I'm sure they'll be filling up quickly.

You'll get to see the water everyday!

I KNOW!!! This is very exciting! I'm going to try to sit outside and read a lot more.

"It never rains, but it pours"?

I've always heard, "When it rains, it pours." Not to be picky, but in case you would wnat to know that.

And, Nilly, yikes that is a lot of big life stuff all at once! Where are your friends going to be living here? You TOTALLY need to come visit them!!!

And, ita, hope the specialist visit is productive.

I've heard both versions. (And, in fact, when I use said phrase, I use "It never rains, but it pours.")

I am Tep.

But it never rains in California.

For Cass and Trudy - shoes.

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours.

Thanks, Stephanie and Steph (oh, and it's totally not being picky - *I* asked! And I love learning new words and expressions from you guys).

Both my friend and her DH got Post-Docs in Stanford.

The chances of me visiting them are, indeed, not slim at all. If they were not flying over there in the middle of the semester (the date of their flight was postponed and moved a few times), there was a high chance of me flying with them, to help them with the kids (2.5 and 6 months old) during the flight and the first few days, but as the current date stands, I can't leave the university in this time of the semester.
