Friday


Christi was extremely tired this AM. It is assumed that this is caused by the meds not the disease. At clinic today her counts were: Hgb 10, platelets 36, & ANC of 3000. This tells me that we have done and adequate job of protecting her marrow while throwing some anticancer drugs at the disease.

She wants to send thanks to Code Blue for the glowing bear thingy. She loved it! Special thanks to our friends at Liquid Salvation. A case of their fine Ultra Hydrating water arrived today. Just in time too because she prefers taking all these meds with water from a flask.

There is excruciating pain in her left leg if she tries to sit upright. She agonized the entire way back from the hospital. The pain resolved as soon as she got horizontal.

Angela and Shayla will be flying into the Ernesto the tropical storm sometime tonight. I expect them to be delayed, I just hope not too much.

Just LOVE seeing that smile back! Shayne, we have everyone praying for Angela and Shayla's safe travels...and then my dear friend Marian in Idaho passed on this prayer that her grandson wrote:

When all your dreams fade...
When all your hopes disappear...
When good turns to chaos...
And everything's not fair...

Just turn to God in your despair.
He loves you always.

Patrick Ellison

Marian has been where you are now...and though many years have passed and we are lightyears apart, we remain very close and never forget.

I hope the rest of today will be good to you...praying that Christi's pain will respond. Holding you close. xoxo

The Thomas team remains in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully Ernesto will not stand in the way of your reunion for too long. I was able to locate some Pokemon stickers for Christi and Shayla (I hope they are the correct ones) and they should be arriving in Old Fort soon. Please take care and enjoy every moment together. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

I'm glad Christi's counts were "decent" anyway.

So sorry about the leg pain, I pray it gets resolved soon and for safe travels for Angela and Shayla.

With Love to you all and many prayers,
Heather

Well so far it hasn't been too bad, weather-wise, so I'm hoping that Angela and Shayla arrived safely and on time. Hope you can all snuggle together tonight. xoxo
