Grin Hey Pat!

Thanks for the info! I think of the 2 - IV IG gives me the BOOST sooner, but the actual plasma exchange will aid in my goal of remission!

Now I just have to wait for the mountain of paperwork to be handled by my insurance company in order to have my port/shunt put in!

Devon is STILL @ my sis' house, so it has been quiet, but we are planning on going to our friend's home 2morrow night for a spirited game of cards! YAY!
I NEED nights out like that! They are so thoughtful to have us over - that way I won't worry about my home looking like a tornado just blew through!

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Big hugs!
Erin

I'm so glad you don't have to get stuck all the time now and you can go home after you have it. Plus it doesn't take too long. Well, you have a good nights sleep! Take care.

Big Hugs,
Pat
