David is getting acquainted to his new home! And now it’s time for me to shovel some snow.

Our time here in the hospital is coming to a close.  The nurses are getting all of the discharge orders in line so we can hopefully be out of here before 11 this morning. It looks like it has snowed quite a bit over night, so I expect getting into our dri...

Ana’s got David right now, so I’ll take this time to get some things down that have been bouncing around my head lately. Blogging all of this has been a blast.  Initially I was going to just use the blog as a tool to keep a small handful of pe...

We’ve been given the option to leave the hospital either Saturday or Sunday.  Following the advice of the many friends and family members we have, we’ve opted for Sunday.  That extra day should really help Ana’s recovery process and will...

Our first night went very, very well.  Beforehand I hadn’t really thought about what the first night together would be like.  There were a few comments made telling us to enjoy our night together, but in all the brouhaha I didn’t stop to give ...

In addition to the video camera I took into the operating room for the delivery, I placed a voice recorder in my pocket and recorded the whole thing.  While the audio isn’t great because it was beneath a layer of scrubs and something I’ll just...

Ok, uploading a few more photos.  These are just a few of the couple hundred (no kidding!) and are completely unedited

Well everyone, thank you for your thoughts and prayers - they worked great.  I’ll be posting more photos (and video!) as time permits so be sure to keep checking back. Lots of people have asked about the name.  Anthony is my middle name and David is...

Ana has successfully drained the hospital of Type A platelets!  This last batch came from the blood bank.
Posted by The Johnson Blog 4 years ago.
Blood test results are back.  She went from 17k to 35k on one bag.  She’s now got two bags in her and they’re starting the third.  So, she’s probably at 50k right now.  They’ll be testing again after this 3rd bag is administered. A...

We’re still waiting for the blood test results from bag 1. Bag2 just finished.
Posted by The Johnson Blog 4 years ago.
Just a heads-up - the noon time is now tentative. They’re going to run another blood test and see what her levels are. Chances are good that she’ll need another bag before the surgery so it’ll be another hour+.
