Monday Evening
Blessing to you and here we are from Peru Indiana:
Yes, we are home and so pleased to be. Even Buddy was sooooo happy to get out of the motorhome and run around the house as fast as he could. I guess he wanted to make a fast check of things and then slow down and smell the roses. At any rate, we are indeed pleased to be home.
Marty has had a pretty good day with nothing really out of line. We did learn this morning from the doc. that her ankle is not just swollen, but that the muscles have been pulled away from the bone. Tonight it is really painful, probably becasue she has walked more and been on it more today.
We also learned this morning that two of the chrosones (5 and 7) from the bone marrow that are involved in Marty's illness are back to normal. That is really, really, really good. It will lead to a much better and longer remission. Praise the Lord! Thank you Lord!
Today's chemo went well and Marty is sure glad to be done with that stuff for a while. Now the effects of it - by Sunday or Monday her WBC should be down to "0" and the others will also be down. So blood and platelets will be needed and as one or the other is needed we will have to go to Indy for it. Also if at any time her temp is 100.5 or above we have to call the doc. and if the WBC is "0" we will have to head to St. V's. So as you can see for the next four months our lives are going to be lived on the edge and with the need for flexiblility. God will provide what we need when we need it and we will praise Him always.
When Marty will get the next chemo is yet unkown. Her WBC will have to go down and then come back up to at least 5000 before we can even think or talking about more chemo. So that was another new revelation today. We thought we would be going down in 3 weeks, but instead we will not be going down until the WBC comes up. So there sure is a lot in our lives that right now is dependent on those poor little old white blood cells. I sure hope and pray that they do what they are supposed to do and do it quick. But then God is in control and that is a good thing. Praise the Lord!
This morning and for most of the day I have been praising God for the awesome fact that God's grace is new every morning. Think about it, what a blessing! And besides our God is an awesome God. Praise and thank you Lord.
Have a great day and God bless.
Marty and Jack

Glad your home. Hope tomorrow is a very special Thanksgiving Day for you all. Marty is a very special lady. Got more courage that I want to think about.
