The results are in: the hip bone has died. The hematologist said he thinks the bone might be able to regenerate from the inside-out, but it's not his area of expertise so he's sending me to an orthopedist. They can't get me in until the 22nd, so I guess I'll find out then what the plan of action is. The hematologist sounded like they'd need to figure out whether the bone is still sturdy enough to last or not. So at least now I know why I'm in so much pain!
We went up to Phx over the weekend for Allison's baby shower. It was fun, but Embry got sick on Sunday so we came home early. No Renaissance festival, oh well, it would have been super hot anyway. Tony's mom and sis are moving into a 2 bedroom apt in June, so I'm not sure that we'll be able to go up and visit them much after that. They should be down here for Easter which is coming up pretty fast.
Tony and I went on a 'date' to the Old Spaghetti Factory while we were up there. I was not impressed with the food, but the atmosphere was neat. Our 'homework' assignment from our counseling session last week was for Tony to tell me what he felt while I was in the hospital and for me not to say anything, so we accomplished that. I feel like a weight has been lifted now that I know what he was thinking, that was really weighing me down.
Nola is still not rolling over although I've been working on it with her, so should be anytime now! She tried rice cereal and wasn't too impressed, but not opposed to it either. She did however spit most of it up a couple minutes after I was done feeding her. Haven't seen any results from her acid reflux med yet, although it says it could take 4-8 weeks to start working. Embry is doing really good with the potty...I'd say she's pretty much potty trained, fingers crossed!

Didn't you say both of your hips were in pain? Do you suppose that was caused from all the med's they were pumping through your body in the hospital to save your life. I'm sure you are very discouraged. I know I am. Hang in there Lea if anyone will beat this you will you have the most positive attitude I have ever seen. I'm expecting God to help you through this just like he did in the hospital. I wish I could be of more help to you. Love you so much Lea, life is not fair. The last few months have been a total nightmare. Hope all gets better soon.
I'm so sorry to hear about your hip..you've had a rough year, bless your heart. I hope the specialist is able to figure something out for you.
I'm glad to hear things seem to be looking up for you an Tony- I wish I could convince my husband to go to a counselor.
Praying God gives you strength to get through EVERYTHING. Much love L.
