11 hours in the ER yesterday....

Jim was admitted to Sacred Heart last night.  He has had cold symptoms for about a week and just when we thought he was getting better his temperature went up to 101.  That is a red flag!  They've told us anything over 100.6 and he needs to go to the hospital.  He's had dry heaves and just feels lousy overall.  Just a reminder....Jim's immune system is like that of an infant and will be for the next 6 months to a year.  So, if you have any cold or flu symptoms  please keep your distance.  Even though we'd love to see you if you could postpone your visit until your better we'd appreciate it.  Another beautiful day here in Spokane.  We've experienced two Springs.  How nice is that?  I've been tackling my job and trying to catch up.  It's going to take a while.  Also, am continuing to move back in to the house.  I know it's hard to believe but I'm trying to be methodical about it.  Trying to find a home for everything and trying to discard where ever possible.  Jim says "Hi!"

HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!!!

We arrived Saturday afternoon and the pugs were estatic.  We were overjoyed to see them of course.  The housekeeper did an awesome job.  She moved our furniture and stuff around and we like it so we're going to keep it this way.  I had a few issues with the housesitter but I'm over that now.  We're just glad the pugs are alive and healthy and that the house is still standing.  I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed with unpacking.  It's like moving in all over again.  The house needs an extreme makeover. Need to make it easier to keep sanitary.   Again with the plastic boxes.  Gotta get rid of stuff!  I guess it's sort of like Spring cleaning.  Getting organized.  We're seriously thinking about moving.  This house is old and needs a lot of repair.  Stuff that Jim is just unable to do anymore.  But we've lived here for 20 years and we've accumulated a lot of stuff.  So this is going to be a major project.  Jim has been feeling sick but it's the same GI stuff that he was experiencing in Seattle.  The Gastrointerologist in Seattle was useless.  So the clinic said I needed to get him into see Jim's Oncologist.  So, we're going in to see his Nurse Practitioner tomorrow.  Hopefully, she will refer us to a Gastrointerologist here that knows what to do about this.  It's tricky though since it's related to the Stem Cell transplant.
