Saturday Early Afternoon 10.07.06
Greetings to all. It is early Saturday afternoon because I cooked breakfast this morning and then did some dishes. So I did not get over to the hospital until about 11am and then took a walk with Marty and of course had to harass the nurses. So now it is down to updating.
Marty had a good night. All of her numbers are going down. This morning hemoglobin was 8.7, white blood cells was 100, and platelets were 15,000 for those of you who get this picture. We are expecting that tomorrow will be a platelet day at least. It could be as early as Monday or Tuesday that the "fire works" may begin. Or as Marty says "the ____ will hit the fan, and it just may be messy." But for now we are taking each good day and praising God for it.
Don't think I have mentioned, and then again maybe I have, we have a beautiful view out the window. It looks down on the entrance to Children's Hospital, and the trees along that street have been changing since we have been here. They are beautiful. Then across the way is a woods and those trees are beginning to change. In another week they will be just awesome.
It is so good to see the beauty of the natural creation that God has given to us. And what a blessing it is as it shares God's love, mercy, and message with us. The message of always being present with us, even during the down times and the times of change. God is a God of love that wants the best for all of us and even gives His trees the most beautiful time of their lives each year before they rest for the winter. Our God is an awesome God!!!!
Jennifer is on her way here. She should be here in another half hour to 45 minutes. She has had to come by herself beaus Trey had a few little signs of a cold on Wed. and Thur. and did not want to take any chances of infecting grandma because of her low white count. So we will be happy to visit with her this afternoon.
Will go for now and return tonight with an update.
Have a great day and God bless.
Marty and Jack

I have angels on my pillow to help me get through the night.
They are always sent by God above to say "All is well and do sleep tight."
Good luck guys! i know gos will be by your side throughout your endevors. Jen can always bring a smile! haven't heard form her in awhile. God's grace is everywhere and to be able to see it in a time so difficult is a real gift.

Just wanted to say "hi" to Jennifer from us, if she's still there! We saw "Jesus Christ Superstar" in Toledo (have season tickets/Theater League) this afternoon. The lead was Ted Neeley, who also did the movie and Broadway. It was out of this world! Though some might question the medium, the message is still clear! Love, Mike and Diane
