There's no place like home!
The boys and I went up to visit Greg this weekend. It was a quick trip, because Eric worked until 8 on Saturday night, and had to be back to work at 12:45 today. Got to St.L about 11:30 Saturday night. Both boys slept most of the way up. Once we got there, Matthew was really cranked up & finally fell back asleep about 4 a.m. He and his dad had a great time. Eric & I were snoring.......
Speaking of snoring, the last photo above is them "watching" Indy. Exciting race......
Well, the duplex is REALLY small (if you can't already tell from the pics). But, its very pleasant inside, and Toni (the owner) has made every effort to make it seem like a home. She has 8 or 10 units in the same general area. Most people who rent from her are those who've had lung transplants, and end up staying for 3 months or more. I didn't get any pics of the basement, but there's a washer & dryer, and two twin beds down there. To give you an idea of what its like, both Eric & Matthew said, "I'm not sleeping down there!" They slept on a blow up mattress in the living room -- after we removed some of the furniture to make it fit. Very cozy.
Don't really have much to report on the medical side. Greg went to clinic every day, but since its the weekend, they didn't order any labs. I'm not sure why, as you don't suddenly get better just because its the weekend. The nurse went ahead and drew some Sunday, but it was "express" so we didn't get all of his counts. We'll have a much better idea of what's happening tomorrow. He's scheduled to start pheresis tomorrow, but, unless his counts have improved dramatically in a short period, I don't think that's likely. So, time to knock on the Big Guy's door again.
Enjoy the pics.
Love,
Us
P.S. Quick Tuesday morning update:
Its almost 10 a.m. Greg's plateletes are good, and his whites are over 4. Ian, you'll be happy to know that he's no longer neutropenic. (I wonder if that had something do to with my visit this weekend?) Anyway, altho its a day later than we wanted, it looks like he'll be able to start pheresis tomorrow (Wednesday). It can take about 4 days, and they don't collect on the weekend, so that's a bit of a bummer, but all in all, not bad news.
More details as they develop.....

Those Skibinsky Boys sure know how to party! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And I think the duplex looks a LOT nicer than a LOT of St. L. I've seen. Think of yourselves as Newlyweds in your first apartment-well sans kids of course.
We will be talking to the Big Guy tonight like always asking for good stuff for you all.
~personally I still think Greg is making the whole thing up about the diet and is visiting Guido/Rocco on the sly.....
Love ya,
The Schneck's and the Schnecklings
Hey Ian- pthththththththth!!!!!
Good to hear about the aforementioned affliction.
Y'know Judy, I am next door when Ann usually knocks out her posts, so really I could be first anytime I wanted, lets just say it is by my grace that others can take that honor.
Let's play the Glad game regarding the duplex.
Greg has to be glad that:
there probably isn't a chucky cheese near by.
lawn doesn't have to be mowed. and,
Judy is right, it is not the worst St. Louis has to offer (I mean, at least it doesn't charge by the hour--or half hour.)
So Yea, it isn't the worst.
Keep up the blogs. And I will call the big guy (but I don't think he picks up for defense attorney's).
The last photo is affectionately entitled "Butts/Heads"........... which means by the transitive property..........I'm really smart about lots of crap.
Greg
Hey Greg, if you want to blog and remain 'anonymous', either do NOT sign your REAL name or do NOT sign any name at all- I learned this at meetings! :-)
Hope today went well and that you are 'producing'.
Love ya,
Me and Them
As long as you are only producing and not reproducing (again!)
Love, your favorite sista in law!!
ps it is not Judy
i cant figure out how not to be anonymous
Debbie,
Do the oposite of Greg if you DO NOT want to be anonymous. Um, just sign your name....
(You have to sign into Google to get a name tag-no big deal)
Ian, very gracious of you to share the honors, however I think that you hearing her tap out the message is cheating of sorts, maybe not, she might actually be working!
Hope you have a good day Greg!
JS
Greg, hope you have another good day!
There is about as much chance of ann working as there is Hillary winning (snowball's chance in hell).
I know, my tax dollars at work.... is she on lunch right now or just a break?
