Today has been a long but good day. First and foremost, it's Laura's birthday so we celebrated the best we could! She has been a real trooper through all this and been there every second. There is no way I could have done all this without her. I love you Laura! We will celebrate more back in Greensboro!
We had an early appointment at the clinic and got my first dose of ivig. A treatment that could be a long shot to help my counts. Its a drug you can react to but I did fine.
Then we got to meet the surgeon today and the appointment went great. (considering the circumstances) She was very patient and through which we were very impressed with. She said she would start trying to do the surgery laparoscopically and if that does not work they would have to make a decent size incision. She did not know when it could be scheduled and would try to get back with us on Monday. She still needed to talk with Dr. Chao about a few things before the full game plan was set.
I'll finish the way I started. Love you Laura and Happy Birthday!
Burns, I never thought I could hate a spleen as much as I do at this very moment.

HI BURNS! NERVOUS?! Good grief! You have been such an incredible warrior! Isn't there a quote about the true heros being the people who are afraid and go into battle anyway! The surgery will be progress, however, and moving in the right direction is how to win the game. Prayed for you on the beach today. The day is so glorious that God has to be in the middle of it. Pender's brother in law, Joe Hollmeyer is a new member at Eagle Point. Hopefully, you two can play together soon. Don't take all of his money though. Love and many birthday wishes to you and Laura! ann
