He's Here!!

So after another crazy day driving in the city..I think we got some stuff accomplished. Most important though is that we picked Matt up at the airport and now we can really get down to business to move on with life and I guess since they are "newlyweds" Love too.
Our day also included ..1st going to IVF clinic to check in. Visit went well and we are looking at sunday but probably monday for the actual harvest date. Which meant that we had to change the appt for her "port placement' to wednesday and adding 2 more injections each day. Meg REALLY loved giving herself 3 shots yesterday but she did it like a trooper or Army ? wife should. LOL.
She also had to have blood work done for the IVF stuff and port stuff which was good because we have been worried about her electrolytes back all the results came back good although she is still taking the potassim supplement.
Before we picked Matt up though we had to go into Baltimore to see an ostomy nurse which was NOT very helpful..took us at least 1/2 hr just to find the right parking garage once we were at Hopkins which meant we missed lunch (which was not good b/c she is def getting her "old appitite" back again and she was HUNGRY.) almost sideswiped a car on the way back out..had our VERY 1st accident with her "appliance" (we are blaming this on the nurse because she did it and change "our" system that had been working well with no accidents since we started!)
But we survived and got another shower and hopefully everything on properly this time so now we are trying to decide and see what life will bring today. I hope I found a support group down here that may actually send someone to help us at home alittle with all of this. Please pray on it because that is pretty much where we are having our trouble..changing the appliance. You know it's one thing to SEE someone how to do it, to have someone Tell you how to do it and a completely different ballgame to when you are doing it yourself without anyone standing by to say wether it's right or wrong!
But as I said we are ok..looking at "harvest any day, port placement wed and chemo on the 13th.  She isn't eating like a pig yet but getting better, staying hydrated and now weighed in at a whopping 117lbs only a few more till we make our target weight at 125!
