From Mike: Rough week for Bonnie; faxes preferred
Here is a note from Mike, who I had dinner with the other night -- more on that later. Without further adieu, here is an update from our very favorite Burlingame Blogger:
If you would like to send a fax to Bonnie, the fax number is 612-273-1158.
As you have, no doubt, gathered from several of the postings, Bonnie has been having a difficult week. She had several migraine headaches while I was there last week -- as a side effect to the birth control pills they put her on to avoid any potential bleeding during this period of low platelets. The headaches have largely subsided now.
Over the last several days she has developed a head-to-toe rash which has included rather acute redness and swelling. We also had a bit of a scare with a spiking fever for a day or so. Both the rash and the periodic fever are now believed to be side effects of one of her meds, Ceptaz (sp?). They just took her off of that in favor of an alternative drug. We are hopeful that the side effects will quickly dissipate.
In the mean time, because of her weakened and tired condition, she has not had the phone turned on for the last 48 hours or so, and will continue to avoid the phone for the next day or two until she feels more up to it. She is literally only making a couple outbound calls per day -- to me and to Bobbi Jo (Devon and Isabel's nanny). Likewise she will not be on email. However, she does want to hear from friends. Faxes would be great.
This period is definitely the trough. It is supposed to be. Bonnie is taking it with grace, humor, and optimism despite feeling really crappy ...no surprise there.
Thanks, all, for your continued support and good wishes.
Mike

"When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change."
