Eli's Girl

All right folks. I am typing this from Eli's hospital room. He made it through having his port put in with flying colors. We're now in the room that he'll be in until tomorrow. He's feeling great! He's on the phone runnin' his mouth right now. The kidney doctor that treated him a few weeks ago stopped through tonight when he saw that Eli is here. Even he was amazed at how great Eli looked. He said that for Eli, being in such great shape before all of this happened, was a good thing and a bad thing. The good part was that he was able to bounce back quickly from being so low. He said that Eli had toxic levels of myeloma in his system and believe me, we knew that. He said the bad thing was that since Eli was in such good shape it took a while for his body to recognize that there was something really wrong. All the nurses (we're back at the same hospital where he received his plama pheresis) were amazed at his progress too.

As for me, I realized today that the t-shirt biz is mobile. While waiting for him to have his surgery I made shirts. I had to answer a lot of questions from other patient's family members in the waiting room who were wondering what the heck I was doing, but I got a lot done! So if I owe you or someone you know a shirt, it's comin'!

We're waiting for Eli's dinner to come in now. His weight is steadily creeping back up. Fortunately I've managed to keep mine in check while he eats high calorie, but healthy meals. I jus get to watch. No cheesecake and apple pie a la mode for me.

I'll be in touch soon! PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN OURS!

Love ya,
Kimberly
