Johnnie Is Here!

My wonderful, beautiful bone marrow donor, my sister Johnnie, is here! We picked her up at the airport this afternoon, and got her settled in her temporary quarters, which are very nice. Reece was with us and was excited and happy to see "Aunt Johnnie's house." We also met Kelly, and she went with us, too.

Johnnie and her family spent Thanksgiving with my niece and her family in Dallas. Sandi and Mom joined them there, so they had quite a crowd, too. Johnnie's flight from Dallas to here was only about an hour.

She was tired, and getting over some kind of stomach bug that she got in Dallas, so we visited for awhile, went to pick up a few things she needed, and left her there to rest and relax. Ron and I will pick her up early tomorrow morning. We have an appointment to have blood typing done at 8:30 AM and she's supposed to have a good breakfast first.

The weather has turned cold for our area; we may get to freezing in the wee hours! Johnnie thought she was coming to nice warm Texas, but she brought cold weather with her. She didn't bring a jacket, so I'll have to remember to take one for her tomorrow morning. I'm so excited to have her here with us!
