DHMH is boring compared to Bethel.....
So far so good still ....
Today was a blood transfusion, which I've been expecting to happen. My counts came back (7.8) - the norm for women (12.0-15.0). Well, sure enough, Doug's blood is in! My former blood type was O-, but not today... as the bag came up, it's now O+, just like Doug's. Isn't that amazing?!!
The real news comes from the homefront however. Troy left here Wed. and picked up the boys in Bethel to head home for rest, rejuvenation, and ...... strep tests. Because somehow the Chase crew (all four families) like to share everything (not just Doug and I). Five days together, four dogs, eight adults, eleven kids, and TEN CASES OF STREP by Thursday. Everyone got tested, adults and kids, symptoms or none - and that's what we got. Dr. Meehan gave Troy the OK though to come visit tonight. Then he'll head back for the weekend to be at lots of the kids outings.
Love the responses, I'll update in 2 days again.

Hi Pam,
Thinking of you daily and visualizing your return to superwoman strength so that we can do that triathlon together one day (and you will kick my butt of course!). Sending some Texas sunshine your way.......

Keeping you close each day as you get that good 'Doug-stuff' coursing thru your bod ! Sounds like you are an inspiration to the whole Dartmouth-H.
staff---you spread sunshine even in the gloomiest days, Pam. Sorry the strep hit big-time with all the cousins but at
least you weren't in the middle of it
all ! Keep up the good work. You are
special.

Holy cow.......... what is it with the holidays and strep for the Chase clan? Two in a row! Did the dogs get tested as well? :-) :-) :-) Sounds like the Emerald City is doing well by you, just as we expected. I'm sure they are all loving having your ray of sunshine in their midst.
Sending lots of love and energy from down the road a bit.
Big hugs and love. AuntD & UncleD
Hey Pam!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS on your Pee Record!! You are discovering talents you never knew you had!
It really is AMAZING that you now have Doug's blood type! Gives me chills--and it's even above freezing!
DHMC does have some fabulous walking inside, huh? Hope your dancing partner doesn't get too lonely while you're out strolling. Pam, take it easy, enjoy that 5-star neutropenic cuisine, and keep up the fight! Must sound old to you by now, but you truly are an inspiration! The lives you have touched and continue to touch are waaaaay far-reaching!
XOXOXO Much love and hugs from a strep-free (at the moment) home, Katrina
