More of the Same

Jeff was discharged Saturday, and is generally feeling well.  His appetite has not yet returned, but he still seems to have most of his taste buds, which will help him to keep his weight up.  He is on lots and lots of meds, including some at home IV vancomycin to help combat the bad bugs the hospital found in his body.  His counts are still very low, and he is regularly needing transfusions of both platelets and red blood.

We did had some great company this weekend in Hershey...Rich, Nicole and Danielle.  Having them here was good for all of us, and I'm still feeling the lingering effects of their positive energies.  This whole situation has left me much more sensitive to the vibes that people project, and I find myself trying to surround myself with postive projectors.  I've found that there are people who are a constant source of support for me, and that's largely because of the good feelings that just seem to happen when they are around. 

That being said, I am always consciously trying to project my good feelings and energy on to others.  Just because my family is going through a difficult time, doesn't mean that I have the right to drain people who are not.  I figure that as long as I can remain somewhat content and happy, then my happiness will be felt by those around me.  In a situation like this, I realize that isn't going to be possible all of the time, but I certainly can work to minimize the bad periods, and maximize the good.
