Christmas Will Be Delayed

Well I guess we celebrated too soon. We are being admitted as I type this. We are being held captive in the clinic b/c there are no rooms. We had an appointment today for blood and just a once over and Simons rash looks worse. They looked at him and said "he has chicken pox". I freaked out. It could be potentially fatal for Simon. We did blood, called in dermotology, hemoc saw him and a chest x-ray. All signs are showing it is not chicken pox but to be safe and since it is probably viral, they are sending out blood to check for a bunch of stuff and admitting us for iv meds to be safe. We will be here until at least Tuesday, if we ever get a room.

Its a little set back, we will prevail and God will shine upon us. My heart breaks for the girls as now we will be postponing Christmas with a little white lie telling the girls I spoke with Santa and he promises to drop off gifts when we are all home. Its heartbreaking.

Simon is otherwise doing well. His counts of White cells and platelets are up so this hopefully is just a bump in the road. knock on wood and pray very hard at this special time. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and gifts and food. We so appreciate it. Sending out love to all of you. Enjoy your families. God Bless, keep praying. Love Tracy and David
