Today was a really good day, except for one disappointment.
She had an appointment with Dr. Whitten who is the doctor that put a fistula in her left arm to be used for dialysis. The doctor said he won't know if it will be OK for another three weeks, which caused her some distress, however, after we were back to the hospital for awhile she worked it out in her mind and came to the conclusion that is not the worst thing that could happen.
When we left St. Marks Hospital it was giving us a very light drizzle, by the time we were in the Rose Park area it was raining rather robustly and when we got to Bountiful it was snowing really hard.
Lee dropped us off and we thanked her for the ride and then she took the car back to Jayci.
When we got back to the hospital Jeri had a rest and then decided it was time to walk so a walking we went; during today she walked at least 400 feet, all of the staff told her it wouldn't be long before she goes home.
It is my prayer that in three weeks Dr. Whitten will say that the fistula is ready to be used.
Oh, by the way when I came home it was not raining or snowing, however, I think there is a good chance that there maybe some in the morning.

Still thinking about you. Whenever it is a sunny day outside, I picture you in the waiting area inside while she sits out in the (cold) sun. She'll be home before you know it!! Keep up the hard work - both of you!
