Men are from Mars, Patty's intravenous

Hi everyone:

Catchy title, huh? I almost opted for something else, but Patty thought it was funny, so it stuck.

Well, Patty seems to have come through round two of IVIG in much better shape than the first time around (knock on wood). She's a little tired and nauseous, but only a little more so than on days without IVIG. The biggest challenge today? Every time Patty started to doze off, her IV pump would start to beep because of air in the line. Patty's nurse taught me how to correct the problem, which I did about 30 times over the course of the afternoon. Every time, Patty would apologize as though somehow it was her fault.

Thanks to all who have followed up from Friday's evening with emails and blog comments. It seems that everyone agrees the night was really something special.

There's not much else to report at this moment...keep the comments coming, as Patty asks me daily, "Anything happening on the comments front?"

Love,
Brian

P.S. Am I the only one who, in watching the Sox games, frequently uses all the words George Carlin claimed you could never say on television? Sigh...Go Contreras, Go Sox.

This is half of the IVIG supply this time around
