Sunday - June 3rd 2007

(on the plane from Logan to BWI)
Baltimore by plane really isn't far - wearing a protective mask on the flight isn't as awkward as I thought it might be - just the fact that it can protect Joan is worth it. Her blog from June 2nd said she was in the hospital due to a fever. I hope she is ok today.

Leaving my hubbie was hard - but knowing that I can help somone makes it easier to handle.

I was able to upgrade to 1st class for $40 (it's a promotion by Airtran) on this short flight - and sitting here with all this room is making it all worth it - and not having to be in a cabin full of people with all types of bacteria is also a good thing.

I don't know what to expect when I finally see Joanie - will my heart break to see her in such a scary place? This procedure involves bone marrow and blood transfusions - what a drastic procedure and imposition (for a lack of a better word) of your body.

I am amazed that anyone would want to undergo such a treatment. And what of her chances? I didn't have the time - or maybe I didn't want to know - what kind of gamble she is taking. I'd almost rather be ignorant and cheery.

I want to bring positiveness, kindness, encouragement and hopefulness to Joanie and her family.

Someone named "D" (I'm sure I know his name) but nonetheless - he sent me an email that I printed out because it was how Jehovah views things. Basically - it was how WE view things - how JEHOVAH views things and then the scriptural basis and truth for his views from the Bible - amazing.

The flight is 59 min. I think I'll be able to make the entire meeting! YAY!
