Yesterday we went to our Grandson's birthday party. Just getting out and thinking about something else was very helpful to Adele, as she did not even think about cancer for a whole afternoon. She is tired today, as we left here before 1 and got home after 6, so we had a full afternoon for her.
Today is a outside work day for me, and I hope to get her out sometime this afternoon in the Vette for a short drive. Hoping a get away from the house will help her again today.
She did improve yesterday and sent the JH doctor some questions about her blood numbers. Dr Meade @ JH sent a reply, which she got when we returned last night, and he said not to worry - it is all within a normal range of recovery. The doctor in Lancaster is just not used to seeing slow recovery, while the doctors in JH do hundreds of these a year and have the experience with them. Again, we need to trust the doctors and let them (and God) worry about what might be later. We still should be living today for what we have today, and not keying in so much on what could possibly go wrong all the time.
Adele will probably be on an up and down cycle for many more months.
Ruby & Julie are coming in 7 days and we are looking forward to having them here. Adele was wondering about holding Ruby - I said "You had better hold your grandchild!" Counts, even though low, are still not at a point that we need to be so cautious as to keep away from everyone.
Thanks to all for the support
Rick
