Journal - December 16, 2008 (Tuesday) Day +157

Well it's about time
for an update I think! Sorry I missed the normal Monday update, but I was so
tired yesterday, I spent a lot of the day in bed resting. I did have a doctor
appointment yesterday in the morning. Lucien and Luciana came with me to bring
a tray of cookies to everyone in the office, and of course a special bottle of
wine for my doctor for Christmas.
The appointment went very well, and we got
the news that we were all hoping and praying for... I am back to 100% donor
cells! He said though that this is something we will be watching constantly
for a while, but at least it went in the right direction right now! This was
the news we were looking for heading into the holidays. We had a great visit
with him and ended up talking about Christmas traditions more than anything
else! He did tell me to be careful with the Christmas Eve Italian fish feast,
so I'll make sure I stick to safe fish! I asked him if for this time we could
stretch my next visit to 3 weeks instead of 2 because of the crazy holiday
schedule, and he said that we could as long as I called him if I noticed
anything different! I was *very* happy about this!
Over the weekend we had Loosh and Justen
over to celebrate our Christmas with them. Saturday morning I did a little
photo shoot with them near the tree all dressed up, then Saturday night we had
Grandpa's famous Italian sandwiches for dinner, then opened presents! We gave
the boys all football stuff of their teams, Giants and Cowboys, which they love
and have fun with. The boys gave Lucien a really cute ornament for the tree,
and they gave me (with Lucien (Daddy's) help) my very own personalized Cowboys
jersey so I'd have it for Sunday night’s game.
After our mini Christmas celebrations we
watched Rudolph and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. Adrian is still afraid of
the Bumble; the poor thing! Luciana loves the movies and sits through them both
mesmerized.
On Sunday little Lucien and I made sugar
cookies and gingerbread girls and boys. He loves helping me in the kitchen, and
he really does help out a lot! He's 14, I can't believe what a little man he
is. Sunday we all spent playing the X Box, we have such a good time playing that,
its fun when we play a game that we all can compete on. It makes for some funny
moments.
This week should be pretty uneventful, hopefully. I've been very, very tired, to the point that if I don't sleep in until 10 or 11 every morning, I just can't make it throughout the rest of the day. So Lucien has had to do all the errands and banking and stuff, because I just need to rest in the mornings. But anyway, other than that, everything is good. I'm of course wearing my new football jersey as much as I can this week to support the boys! I love it so much, it even has my number “84” for the year I was born! Quite a win we had Sunday night I must say! I've said it before, and I'll say it again..... How ‘bout them Cowboys!
