We are now settled at camp where the skies are sapphire blue; the grass is emerald green and the sunshine warms you to the bone and the friendliness of the people warms your soul. We are very happy to be here and even happier to move into a “schedule” and be working again! After almost four weeks of “unemployment” it was time to get back to having things to do.
Emrys is happily fixing things around camp and playing on the climbing wall and Sara has started in the kitchen helping with staff meals. Having things to keep us busy has been very therapeutic and we rejoice in the moments and days when it feels like everything is normal- which thankfully outnumber those when we are overcome with the reality of our situation.
Sara is recovering well from the bone marrow biopsy - just the discomfort one would associate with a bone-type bruise. As one of the camp owners (who’s also an RN) put it “You can’t pull out bone marrow with a garden hose and not have it hurt a little!” Now we just pray that the bone marrow is clear of any cancer.
Tuesday we will get the schedule for the remaining battery of tests which will hopefully take place on Thursday and Friday. Until then, we will be going through Staff Orientation with everyone and enjoying our surroundings.
Thank you all for the e-mails we have received! It is great to know how far our support net actually reaches. We love you all!
