We just got home from our clinic visit. We didn't go last week because the clinic called and told us that they were slammed with patients. They asked us if we could go to Bear River Hospital to get her blood work done. We did that and they told her to stay off bactrim for another week. They give her bactrim to protect her from a fungus that she could get after a transplant. The reason that they told her to stay off of it for another week is that it was making her platelet counts come down. After seeing them today they told us that her platelet counts were 144. Normal is 150. They told her to take the bactrim 3 times a week. On next Friday we have to go back to Bear River to get her blood taken again. If her counts are still coming up then she will continue taking it 3 times a week. If the counts go down then they will adjust it. We don't have to go back to the clinic until the 11th of July. It feels great not to have to drive to Salt Lake every week.
Alyssa has had an emotional last couple of weeks. She is having a hard time dealing with everyone's life continuing and hers just stopped abruptly. She is trying to make some friends at the single's ward here (that is a church group that is made of kids her age). She is trying to find a office job right now. I think that she is afraid to get back to studying her classes that she needs to take the finals in. I am trying to get my life back to normal and she is a little jealous of that.
On a side note, we still haven't sold our house. We have lots of lookers but no buyers. Does anyone want to buy our house???? I got a part time job at the quilt store here in Brigham City. I am very excited about it. Bryan is still looking for a job. Kelsey is doing good at her job and is going to start school in July. Kirk is liking working from home. Life is good.
