She got the requisite red stripe and a free trip to Deep Creek. She was not appreciative. Go figure!
Mom on the other hand is very grateful. Grateful for another finished round of chemo!
Dad took her in this past Thursday for the third and final infusion of Gemzar in this cycle. She's had a few off days, the normal chemo crummies, but is doing fairly well. Glad to have a chemo-free week coming up to rest and recharge. Although, I just spoke with her, and it sounds like the week is filling up with lots of activities:
Card Parties
Lunches
and Scrabble games.
Consider that the recharging part! Nothing like having something fun to look forward to. She can rest in between all the entertainment!
One note of concern, her hemoglobin counts continue to drop, and have been in the low range for the past 2 months. Not sure when the doctors will consider a blood transfusion, but it's not out of the question. I think it has been interferring with her energy level, common problem with the low counts. So, there will be lots of nap/quiet times scheduled into the week too!
I think that's what siesta's are for! Especially in this heat! I vote we join mom for afternoon siesta's all week!
Autumn's vote is in!! Sleeping like a baby....Nothing more precious. Love you punkin!
Saying a prayer of thankfulness that the Gemzar is doing it's job, filled with gratitude for the upcoming week of rest, and delighting in the joys of grandparenting!
Grace Overflowing, Jane
