Health Update

Well, we managed to stay out of Virginia Mason for over three months! But just as Christmas was "spoiled" for us by a trip to VM, so also was Easter. Jenn was in for Good Friday to get a blood transfusion.

Blood transfusion -- on Good Friday. How appropriate, eh?

We were there for less than 24 hours, though, a new record. Jenn's experiencing what appears to be a chronic iron deficiency due to absorption issues in her not-so-active gut. So the docs will be starting her on monthly iron infusions, which should hopefully ease the need for period blood boosts. You may recall that Jenn needed blood back December, too.

At any rate, we're home again -- and just a little immobile: both from the aftereffects of extreme anemia, and the aches of iron infusion. Happy Easter!
