We arrived in Columbus, Ohio, earlier this afternoon. I'm spending the evening researching some various treatment options, so that I will be well informed for my consultation tomorrow at Ohio State. The accommodations are very nice at the Hilton-Easton (a suburb of Columbus). The trip takes just under five hours to drive.
We had a pleasant drive over, beginning with an initial stop to visit Little Man. He was glad (as always) to see his Grampy and Grammy. He welcomed Grampy with yet another dirty diaper. (After our having three children in diapers at the same time, Grampy is quite skilled at diaper changing.) Little Man has "matured" into a Big Man today -- he lost what remained of his umbilical cord. I told him he is a "Big Man" now!
The trip passed quickly as I worked on writing a grant in the car. My husband didn't think I would be able to work on my laptop AND help him drive (I'm not certain what he was insinuating with that comment)!
Three other leukemia patients with whom I have contact via online support groups all have their appointments with Dr. Byrd tomorrow at OSU. It is possible we might have a leukemia reunion of sorts in the waiting room. It will be nice to have faces to put with e-mails. One patient is from Ohio, one from Florida, and one lives only about an hour away from us.
We ask for and appreciate your continued prayers for wisdom and discernment for me as I face and make difficult treatment and medical decisions.
