Yesterday we celebrated Jerry's Birthday. He had a great day with phone calls from family and friends, cards, and all the Happy Birthday posts on Facebook. Neal and his family were able to come over for a little while. That really lifted his spirits. Our apartment was full of a lot of life.
Jerry still has to be so careful being around a lot of people. The clinic said Neal and his family could be here, but Jerry had to wear a mask while they were here. And he wasn't able to hold little Brylee or give hugs and kisses to Kyla and Hayden.
We are still just taking each day as it comes, watching blood counts and waiting. The clinic said Jerry is still in a dangerous stage with the transplant. That is why we have to live so close to the clinic and the hospital. But we thank God everyday for His love and grace to us - the way God has kept us safe and Jerry doing as well as he is.
We know it's all the prayers.
We love you!!!
Hi Jerry and Pat, we are so glad that Jerry had a great birthday and that you both had a great day. So special that the Kids were able to visit and that you all got to spend time together. We thank God for you both, and pray that God continues to give you strength, peace, and healing. Happy days are ahead. Even though we've told you before, Happy Birthday to you. We Love You
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jerry! My dad's birthday was on the 18th. I have been telling him about you (I know that's a little weird). I know you were close to him too.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great! Don't ever forget that!
Love, Kim
