Home Again

I am really sorry I haven't updated in a couple of days! Time just got away from me. Missy is doing amazingly well. She is actually flying home this evening! She has had a good last couple of days, just resting and healing at the NIH hospital, and she is now ready to continue healing here at home. Both of our parents are still there with her and will be helping her make the trip home. Lucky she has a direct flight right into Lexington, so it will be as easy as possible. She will then be going to our parents house for the next week or two to continue recovering from the surgery. We will not have any lab results or treatment plans until she goes back up to the NIH in three to four weeks. For now we are just so happy to have our sweet girl back home!

Many of you have asked if you can do anything to help once they get home. First we want to say thank you for all that has already been done for her and our family. Your donations, thoughts and prayers have made a huge difference during this time. Plane tickets, food baskets, money to cover bills, constant messages of support. These are things that have meant the world to all of us and the words Thank You just don't seem to feel like enough. You have all done so much already, the question of "what can we do?" is hard to answer. Not because we do not need things, but because we already feel so blessed to have you all.

That being said, we continue to appreciate your desire to help. Food or gift cards to restaurants that do takeout would be very helpful and make life a little easier as everyone attempts to get back to a normal routine. Donations to Missy are also always extremely appreciated to help cover expenses while she is off work. Details of how that can be done are on the left sidebar of this blog or you can contact me (biogirl79 at gmail dot com) and I can help. As always, good thoughts and prayers are appreciated more than we can say. We are so thankful for all of you and your support during this time.
