Yesterday we traveled up to Johns Hopkins for the first blood donation appointment. Unfortunately, the nurses could not find a vein that would be usable for donation. Sue has been a "hard stick," but it seemed completely impossible yesterday. There are some options that we are hoping the doctor will tell us at the next appointment in October. Sue needs to greatly reduce the iron that she has accumulated from all the transfusions she had.
Well, we will be getting away for a couple of days to celebrate Sue's birthday this Sunday. Sue has not been well enough to celebrate the last two, but we are hoping for some rest and quiet this time around in an idyllic setting.
Happy Birthday Sue!
You don't know how happy I am to say that.

Happy belated birthday Sue!
Well, that's better than no happy birthday at all.
