Survivor week 46 day 5

Got up and took Barbara to get a MRI then we met with the oncologist
He was excited with the MRI results. The MRI showed that Barbara's "diseased area" had shrunk 50 per cent. Also there was no growth. They are going to begin to take Barbara off steroids. A little at a time. Also we are scheduled to begin chemo this weekend
We are also scheduled for a fifth avastin drip. The oncologist thinks that will help with reducing the need for steroids.

Barbara then got her avastin drip and we headed back to OKC

Barbara said tonight it is not too late to pray and thank God for a good day. She knows that God is in control.

Survivor week 46 day 4

Barbara got up this morning and was hungry. Big surprise. After breakfast she took a nap until lunch. After lunch we headed to Dallas. We have an 8:15 appointment tomorrow morning

We received a call from the oncologist late this afternoon with the blood platelet count. 112,000

That was better than last week but not as high as I thought it would be

Barbara is anxious about tomorrows MRI.

Please pray that the cancer is still gone. Pray that Barbara will continue to get stronger each day

Survivor week 46 day 3

Barbara got up and we went to give blood. We still have not heard the results. Then she rested the rest of the day. She has an infection on her right big toe. I have been treating it. Our hope is that she will have blood platelets over 100,000. Hopefully the infection will not prohibit her from receiving chemo next week

Tomorrow is a day of rest and travel to Dallas for the avastin drip on Wednesday

Survivor week 46 day 2

Barbara got up and ate breakfast. She took a nap
This afternoon we went to the 100 year birthday party for girl scouts

If you remember we went to Washington in June for the national 100 year birthday of scouting. Well today the local western Oklahoma girl scouts celebrated the 100 birthday party. Barbara had a good time. She got to see some old friends

Below are pictures of Leanna brian and barbara. Also the cool looking cake
Then we stood in line for hot dogs and when we arrived at the window to order there was a "danger" sign. It made us all smile

Barbara wire out so we came home to rest. She is glad that she went to the birthday party

Barbara felt good so we went to the Oklahoma History Center. Very interested. We only saw about half of it. We need to come back to see more

Then we came back to the house to rest. Tonight is the OU Notre Dame game. Barbara watched a little of the game.

Barbara had a good day.

Remember Sunday is coming

Survivor week 45 day 7

Got up this morning and got ready to drive to OKC

Barbara was confused and kept asking if she was going to get the avastin drip today. She did not sleep on the trip to OKC. When we got here she immediately took a nap. Then we went to supper with leanna brian david and sarah. Just a very good time spent with the family.

We are going to just rest for a couple of days. Then on Tuesday we head to Dallas where we will get the avastin drip on Wednesday

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
