Zack made this sign for me & Paige took the picture of him with it! I Love my Zack too!
These pictures were taken last week at the house before I had to come back in for Chemo.

My Nurse Practitioner was able to get me my ANC counts so I added them in for the week.
Marcus came up to see me last night, we had a wonderful visit. I felt pretty good considering,so I had subs & bread sticks delivered from Adriatico's for us, the hospital food has been terrible lately so it was a nice change. It was so good but I am sure we will both pay for the garlic. Marc brought me my camera so I got all the pictures posted today from Thanksgiving, Christmas decorating prior to my admission & Misty with the kids at the old Fashioned Christmas in downtown London. They are underneath this post for your viewing pleasure. My Dr came in while Marc was here so he was able to get his FMLA paperwork renewed on the spot, that worked out well for him. My Dr is still very pleased with the way I am progressing so far!
They started my third dose of Chemo at 10pm last night so I am halfway through this round of Consolidation. I must say though that I did not sleep very well at all last night, I remember looking at the clock at 3am & tossing the towel in. They have had me on constant IV fluids to flood my kidneys so the Chemo does not fry them. So I am constantly up & going to the rest room. My night sweats stay pretty constant but last night I think they were the worst yet. My bed has the plastic pillows with a thin pillow case on them that seem to make it worse when I sweat. I think I will try to wrap the pillows in cotton blankets tonight to see if that helps, well see. I did get about 3 hours of sleep off & on after that. My sinus cavity is really stuffy this morning so my Nurse Practitioner ordered me some Clariten to try to help with that.She is also working on my disability extension paperwork today as well. I go down to 50% in about another week I believe. I knew this was coming but I am still not ready for it.
Paige took this picture of me goofing off last week when I took Spike out to potty, you can see him in left hand corner.Congrats to my Cousin Bill Booher on the new addition to the family!

Hi Sandi,
What a sweetie Zack is!!! I remeber you when you were his age & you were just as sweet. I can't help but see you as a child everytime I look at Zack. It looks like you numbers are holding well for now, good!! It looked like everyone had fun putting the tree up, what a pretty tree as well as all the decorations at your house. We don't go that far with it, it would just be work for me to do...lol Glad you had a nice visit with Marc & he was able to get the paperwork done he needed. Well, I'm off to shoot pool tonight. I think I'd rather stay home it is so cold here tonight, wind chill is putting us -5 tonight & the wind will cut you like a knife...brrrr Well, hope you have a good evening, I love you!!
