Sunday Evening

Greetings to all!

We sure hope this has been a positive day for each and every one of you. It has indeed been positive for me and I believe for Marty. She will read this over later because right now she is down the hall helping a couple of the nurses decorate the waiting room door for a Christmas contest. Sounds like Marty?????? She had another bad night last night getting to sleep because she was getting the chemo. Finally, when the chemo was over and she had had several pills for sleep, pain and restlessness in her legs. She got to sleep only to be wakened at 6:10am by Dr. Oscarson, the on call doc, in Dr Lee’s group. So, it was about three and a half hours of sleep and then another hour nap this afternoon. She has also had some discomfort in the right shoulder this afternoon. Here she comes back in the room, but we will still wait for her to read this when I have finished it. She now has 4 chemos down and 2 to go this time. Her numbers are starting to go down, but as of this morning were still within the normal range. She has had four hall walks today and been up in the chair reading her book a couple of times. So, it sure seems like all is going well and as expected.

When Dr. Lee comes in the morning we hope to get some information about the MRI of the shoulder done late last Thursday and get his take on how things are going. We also understand that a rheumatologist will be coming in tomorrow to check her over re the lupus. We are wondering if the shoulder might be involved with that, and if the shins have something to do with the lupus. So, this will be a new doctor but we are hoping to get some answers and good reports.

It has been a good day with a positive attitude. I hope that you have had the same and that to-gether we can give praise and thanks to the Lord. Tomorrow will be another day filled with the Lord’s plan for each of us. May we get the rest we need that we can be faithful children and glorify our God by doing the tasks He has for us to do and Praise Him as well.

Have a positive evening and day tomorrow and God bless.

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
