Tuesday night

Hi to all! Hope you have had a blessed day and are now resting for tomorrow.

Marty has not had a very good day today. There has been a lot of tiredness, but more than that has been the discomfort. She has had a lot of discomfort in the shoulder, back, and still the shins. The tiredness we are sure has come from the hemoglobin which tested today at 8.0 and anything below that calls for blood. So, if it goes down any more we will have to go to Indy. The WBC’s were at 10.4 today which is fine and the platelets were 197 which is also fine. So, the hemoglobin is the only one that makes us wonder right now and certainly would cause Marty to be tired. All the discomfort is probably coming from the Neupogen injections that she was on daily to help the bone marrow to start making white blood cells again. We understand that Neupogen can really cause discomfort while taking it and/or after you have had it. We see Dr. Lee tomorrow so we will be able to check all that out.

Today, we certainly continue to praise and thank God for His grace and love. And we intend to do it again as we go to bed to get sleep so that tomorrow we can again do God’s will to the best of our ability. May it be the same for you as well.

Take care and God bless!

Marty and Jack
