Survivor week 43 day 2

Barbara got up this morning and wanted a baked potato and chili for breakfast. Guess what. That is what I fixed her. She went back to bed while I went to church. She rested most of the day. She did not have much pain. She was just tired and had no energy

We had liver this evening for supper getting ready for the blood test tomorrow morning. We will find out her platelet count tomorrow.

Then we head to OKC and Dallas for 4 daily doctors appointments.

Got up this morning to 10 deer in our back yard. They sure do like the soybean leaves It is fun to watch them. I woke Barbara up so she could see them.

Survivor week 43 day 1

Barbara had a good breakfast then took a nap. Leanna fixed a 4 bean soup that was full of proteins. Then Barbara took a nap. Leanna left and went home to spend time with her husband
Barbara and I went to the chicken noodle dinner at the church in Dennis. Good food and good fellowship. We were able to see many people that we had not seen in years

Barbara got tired but had a good time. She had very little pain today. She just doesn't have energy. We do go for blood test on Monday so we will find out if her blood platelets go up

Remember Sunday is coming

Survivor week 42 day 7

Barbara got up and ate a good breakfast. She had an upset stomache. She took a nap until noon. stomache was gone. The therapist came and made Barbara walk.
Then we went to meet with Katy Herold. She and Brad are going to have a baby girl. She is in Kansas for a month and will then head back to Hawaii to be with Brad. It was good to see her. See picture

Overall it was a good day. It got chilly so we had to turn on the heater.

Survivor week 42 day 6

I think Barbara is crazy. This morning she asked for chili eggs and baked potato what a combination. Yep that is what she had for breakfast. Then she napped.

The beef liver angel had David bring liver for lunch so we had liver for lunch
Thanks Suzzann.

Barbara has not had much pain today just tired she rests a lot and is still eating real good

Survivor week 42 day 5

Barbara woke up at 2 this morning and said she was hungry. We snacked then we got up at 7 and she ate a real breakfast. Wow did you see that sunrise this morning it was beautiful
Thank you God for arranging the sunrise this morning. Barbara sure enjoyed it.

She napped until lunch and then the therapist came and made Barbara walk. It wears her out but her legs are getting stronger. Pray that she continues to build muscle and gain strength Her platelets are low and she is void of energy but she still tries to function. After the therapist left she took a nap. This evening Leanna arrived for a few days. She and barbara spent the evening talking

She had a slight chest pain this afternoon but it soon passed. Hope it stays gone.

Survivor week 42 day 4

Barbara got up late this morning and did not feel well. She had less energy than usual. We ate breakfast and she napped then we ate lunch and the health care lady came then the nurse came.

Barbara took s nap and then started feeling better. She even began to look better.

I think she was just down because of the low blood platelet count. She still wants to get stronger and wants to beat this cancer thing. She knows that God has a plan for her.

Survivor week 42 day 3

Barbara got up early and was hungry
After breakfast she went back to sleep. Then we went and gave blood she was tired but we went out to eat after giving blood. Then the therapist came and Barbara walked for him. Then she went back to bed

Late this afternoon the oncologist called and said that her blood platelets were down to 52,000. Well that was a little depressing so I grilled Barbara a steak to help cheer her up and to build her blood platelets. The doctor advised that Barbara needed to be safe and not get any bruises or cut herself. We are still scheduled for an avastin treatment next Wednesday. So we will just try to build platelets this week and then head south next week
