Leaving Baltimore soon

Adele & I have been in Baltimore since Sat afternoon. Sunday was a 10-11 hour chemo treatment. Again the Lord provided little to no side effects for Adele. She has taken chemo better than many others, a friend we met here in JH was very ill with the same treatment before she went home yesterday.

Today she has a few tests to do, the blood was already drawn, now we wait for 2 hours or so to see if she needs to take home any additional medicine. We also (I really) have to give her the first Neuprogin (?sp?) growth hormone shot. First of maybe 10 or so. These will need to be given while we are home and when we are here during the 27th - 31st waiting for the stem cell peak and peresis (or taking of the stem cells). They say the machine to do that looks like a big old dialysis machine.

For now we wait and see what they want next. Then back to Ephrata and the store this afternoon.

We have also received another call about a JH apartment that we might be able to get, instead of using the Sheraton. Pray for this - it would be a very good think since the apartments are just across the street and we could easily save $60 or more a day if there.

See ya all - Rick

PS - We are very limited to what visitors we will be able to see while at home - so Do not drop in unannounced, we might not be able to open the door.
