Saturday May 16th.........Came Home

This 3rd round went much better than the others, except for the problems with the lumbar puncture I told you about. We were able to leave today earlier than we expected. Got her home about 4:15 today.

She is feeling well but fatigued from the meds of the week. Very glad to be home.

We go back Tuesday and Friday to clinic for lab tests, blood and platelets.

At Emory Hospital no matter where you are, at any given time, over the speaker system you may hear "CODE MET ROOM 603E". They repeat it 3 or 4 times. It means that the patient has stopped breathing or the heart has stopped.

Yesterday afternoon we heard those very words "CODE MET ROOM 603E". It was 3 doors up the hall from us. We were in 606E. For a while there were 5 to 10 people in the hall in front of the man's door then all settled down. That's the 2ND CODE MET we have had on our floor while we were there. This morning that same man died. They are not sure why. An autopsy is being ordered. Pray for his family.

This did not not upset us. We know that God is in control and knows even how many hairs are on our head(Matt 10:30). Nothing happens without Him causing it or allowing it to happen for His own purpose. If He can calm a raging sea with just His words(Mark 4:39) surely He will see us through this storm.

Looking forward to a wonderful weekend with my beloved wife at home with me.
