Day 19 - afternoon

We took a walk to the IPOP Clinic this morning and had a good visit. Blood numbers continue to be good, while our discharge on Wed seems set in stone. The Hickman port will stay, the nurses thought JH had put it in, and they will not take it out if they did not install it. That will be for our doctor in Lancaster to do.

Wed morning is the final appt, Rituxan treatment will be then. This will be the first of 4 treatments, done each week for the next 4, and that should be the final need for the hickman port. So by Mar 15th or so, that should be able to be pulled also.

Feb 17th is our appt with Dr Balepur and possibly the second treatment. This week we should be back on Thursday noon and back in our own house. Whoooo - Hoooo!!

Everyday in IPOP we meet mostly the same people day after day. Many of these people are doing much worse and need prayers. I know God is big enough to know who I am talking about, just pray for their health. I appreciate it. Pray for Molly as she comes to JH for an appt on Thursday - we would not go anywhere else for specialized cancer treatment after this.

Thank You Lord for all Your help and strength!
We love you all!
Rick & Adele
