Just curious - how is everyones family handling this?

9. We are all on this ride together ...

or you could say two sides of the same coin. One person deals with their own mortality, the other person, a spouse or close relative, is dealing with the mortality of their loved one.

We are all at different stages as we move along, the first time we board the ride we are most hopeful, but each time we board we face another challenge and the hills and valleys are more dramatic and uncertain. It is almost as if the ride is becoming old, as our bodies do, and we are less sure of the ride taking a wrong turn. As you mention that wrong turn can happen at any time, we just never know.

They've added some meds for my husband's second transplant, more concern about what the chemo will do to various organs, but we are still on the ride and can only hope to beat the odds.

Hang in there!
