Survivor week 45 day 6

Barbara had a busy day. First the health aide came as we were eating breakfast. Then right before lunch the therapist came and had Barbara walk with a walker. Then the nurse came. Whew

Barbara had some pain in her right ankle. She had more energy but is still tired

This evening she asked if we could go for a drive and get something for supper. So we drive to parsons. Did not put the top down as it was 47 degrees

While in parsons we stopped at the hospital to visit her uncle Kenny who had gall bladder surgery today. He is over 90

On the way home Barbara made me stop the car and look at the sky. She said isn't it amazing how God makes the sky so beautiful and different each night. God is awesome

Survivor week 45 day 3

Barbara woke up at 2 this morning and was hungry. We had liver onions mashed potatoes and gravy. The she slept until 8:30 and we had waffles. Then we went to give blood. Yes late this afternoon we heard from the oncologist that her kate let's were at 108,000. That was Barbara,s goal
Barbara continued to be hungry all day. The steroids she takes cause her to be hungry

No chemo until we meet with the oncologist on the 31st. This will allow her to continue to grow platelets and then the chemo mat not drop her platelets so low

This evening Barbara wanted to celebrate her platelet count so we called David and Suzzane to celebrate with us. We drove to Oswego. Barbara just enjoys driving in her red car.

Thanks for all the prayers.
