Monday morning 5:15am
Good morning and God's blessings to you this morning!! Right now it is so dark out that it is indeed hard to say "morning". Besides that it was way to short of a night.
At any rate, God is good, all the time! All the time, God is good! It looks like it is HOMEWARD BOUND today. Dr. Lee has not been in yet, though he is on the floor and I have talked to him very briefly. The lab report is back and it looks better. For the first time the white count has gone down to 21.7 (yesterday 25.7) with normal limits being 4.0 to 10.5. The hemoglobin is 10.5 (yesterday 9.7) with normal limits being 12.5 to 16.0. And platelet count was 310 (yesterday 258) with normal limits 150 to 450. And best of all no BLAST CELLS showed up today. We still have a few question about what all this means, but it looks good to us. It looks like HOMEWARD BOUND!!!
Talking about questions I have a number of them to ask, as you might guess.
5:45am
Yes, it is HOMEWARD BOUND!!
Dr. Lee has been in and is ordering a test on Marty's legs and ankles to be sure there are no blood clots or any thing like that. Following that it is HOMEWARD BOUND.
And for the rest of the story - Dr. Lee says Marty still has a roller coaster ride to go, with good days and bad days, energy and not so much energy. Next week we will come down for a bone marrow biopsy to confirm Dr. Lee's feeling that the cancer is in remission. Then in a week Marty will be back in the hospital for more chemo. This will involve the same chemo that she had this time, but a lower dose will be given on the first, third, and fifth day and then she will be released on the sixth day. And this will happen in Nov., Dec., Jan., and Feb.. When she gets out she will be allowed to do what she feels like doing, except work. However, Dr. Lee said to expect to see her in the recliner or on the couch quiet a bit when she goes home now and each time she get the chemo. That is what the ups and downs are all about.
Thank you God, thank you! And thank you to each and everyone of you for your prayers, support, and love. The last three and a half weeks have certainly been a very interesting experience, but the very best part of it has been the presence of God's grace, love, encouragement, and support. God is such a help in all of our times of need. Praise the Lord! We certainly look forward to continuing this journey with God's presence, knowing that God will be with us and we will do our best to continue to be with Him and let Him be in control that His will may be done. Thank you Lord -Praise the Lord!
See you in Peru!!
Have a great day and God bless.
