I was missing you not...I am so glad that you wrote. I was missing you not sharing what has been going on and would check each day.<br /><br />Lots happening here. John was supposed to start a new session of chemo (9 days of poison to kill the cancer) and it goes 3 days on and 18 days off and then that is repeated 2 more times. Sadly, when he had a CBC yesterday morning his white count was way too low so the chemo is put off a week to see if this will give him more time to increase the white blood cells. Now he has to go back to wearing a mask any time he is in public, take antiseptic wipes with him everywhere and no more fresh fruits and veggies. That is the hardest part.<br /><br />I am not happy that this will now take him until at least the end of October if nothing else goes wrong with any of the other sessions. Paul and I will be moving out to SoCal around the 2nd week of September and staying with my dad who has the beginning (well, maybe more than beginning) of Alzheimer's. We are praying that SoCal will offer Paul more relief from the Chondrolysis. The steroid injection was to reduce the swelling in his right hip area but it hasn't done much.<br /><br />Please pray that we will be able to get the house ready to sell by the end of September so that John can join us very soon. I don't look forward to him being separated from us but am thankful that my oldest daughter will be here in Kansas City during all of this. I know that I will want to fly back to be with him but I am responsible for helping my son get the medical help he needs and the options are better in California.<br /><br />On to happier things ...... I am so pleased to read about your progress and the fact that you have hope. Hope for prolonged life and hope to be able to do something that brings you joy. God is good!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />RobynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
