Cheryl finished her third fluid IV today and seems to be feeling pretty good. She felt up to stopping for some Hardee's chicken strips on the way home. It is good to see her appetite back after a couple of down days after her first IP treatment. Cheryl has been able to take care of doing some laundry and kitchen cleaning yesterday and today. It is probably good for her to be able to get up and do some normal activities when she has the energy to do so.
I pulled out the guitar last evening and Jonas and Susannah got to play and sing along for a while. At 21 months, Susannah already has the ABC song down pat. Michelle loaded up Jonas and Susannah this morning and headed for home by way of "Aunt Holly's" house. We really appreciate Chris fending for himself while Michelle was here helping out. We're looking forward Jason, Sharon and Dylan coming down for a weekend visit. It looks like the weather will be nice for grilling out.
Cheryl has one more IP (abdominal port)treatment of Taxol on Monday to complete this round and then she will have 13 days off before the next eight day set. Looking through her chart, we saw her CA-125 results from October 1st were 246.6 this is substantially better than the over 800 she started at in July but the number we are looking for is <35.
Pray that this weekend will go well for Cheryl and that she will be rested and ready for Monday's treatment.
It sounds like everything is going really well. God is answering our prayers and we give Him thanks. I'm glad that your kids and grand kids have been able to come and spend time. Staying happy is an important part of recovery, as you well know. And what makes us more happy than the encouragement of the Lord and our grand babies?! We continue in daily prayer for your complete recovery. He is able!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Cheryl and Jud,
ReplyDeleteI thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, because I [read] of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective [for your healing] through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake. Philemon 1:3 (words in brackets mine).
Hi Cheryl, I had to look a little bit to figure out where to be able to type something. Nope I am definetly not the computer wiz that Jud is :o) but I knew how to put a smiley. They are here today working on our roof not the same ones as before but afliated with them. Just hope they keep doing good as the others did. Also this week I have been outside & doing more scraping & painting. Yes it is actually nice up here yesterday & today it was in the 80s. So hopefully not tooo much longer before I can come down & bug yah. Love Kathy ok hmm now if I can just figure out how to send this. I have tried a few different things hopefully this will work now :o)
