Marilyn is Here

Marilyn arrived this evening, a little after 6:00. I really wanted to pick her up myself but I was feeling really tired and didn't want to risk catching Will's cold by wearing myself down too much. He starts homeschool preschool on Tuesday and needs to get off to a good start. Allen wasn't feeling as tired, so he went to pick Marilyn up from the airport, about an hour drive from where we live.

Allen dropped Marilyn off at her hotel and helped her up with her things. Mom is actually staying in the same hotel, just for tonight. We dropped her off there earlier today. That way, she can get away from all the germs floating around the house. As expected, the two sisters were happy to see one another and filled with lots of good happy energy.

Will still has his cold today and tried to push himself really hard. He ended up skipping his nap and then being in bed by 6:00 tonight. We just went in to check on him and the little guy is sleeping hard as a rock. He's so cute!

Allen surprised me with dinner tonight: Chinese food from one of our favorite spots. He picked it up on his way home from dropping Marilyn off. We settled on the couch and watched a movie together. Nothing like a little together time on the long weekend. Love it!

Tomorrow, Mom has to be at the bone marrow transplant center for blood work at noon, so she and Marilyn will start the drive to Durham in the morning. Tuesday, Mom will start the apheresis process. Thankfully, she still seems to be healthy, so things should move along normally. I cannot believe that we are getting so close to having this part of the journey completed.
