As you have probably noticed we haven't been doing such a good job of posting lately. We continue to wade through the Peace Corps medical clearance process. Chris and I both had doctor's appointments and dentist appointments over a month ago. At that time we discovered our dental hygiene is fantastic (all that flossing finally paid off) and that my white blood cell level was low. After several trips to the doctor's office, a month of blood work every other day and a bone marrow biopsy, we have discovered that I have cycling white cells (cyclic neutropenia) that seem to increase and decrease at will, which I have most likely had all my life. On Thursday I was able to get doctor's signatures on all of the forms! So, we're almost set to turn in our medical records and cross our fingers. Our one last task is for Chris to prove that he does not have rheumatoid arthritis. (That's a complicated story.) Red tape has certainly been keeping us busy.
Meanwhile we are in our last month in Brevard, and we're soaking up every minute with our North Carolina friends. We've started packing up some things, and we're having a yard sale next Saturday in hopes of downsizing a bit- feel free to stop by between 8am and 1pm if you're in the area. :) On June 1 we will begin a couple months of traveling around the country until we (hopefully) receive our highly coveted medical clearance and head to the Pacific Islands.
We'll do our best to post more often! Thanks for checking in to see what's new.
