Delayed

I went this morning for my last big treatment, but my white blood count was too low. I have to wait another week for my treatment to build my wbc back up. The doctor says that isn't unusual, but I'm disappointed. I was anxious to get this behind me. It must be another part of God's plan for me. I'll just have a good cry and then move forward with His plan.

Christmas in Missouri

This year, instead of going to Houston for Christmas, we are staying at home. It's really my fault because I'll be right between treatments and it wouldn't give us much time in Houston. We have mixed feelings about not going. We will miss the fun of being with the family, but we get to take advantage of staying here and going to our churches Christmas Eve service. We might even get snow this year!

Half way there!

Only two more treatments to go. This chemo is a little stronger. I have to rest more often, yet I have some good moments. I'm learning that I can't predict how I'll feel. I just do what I can when I can. Billy and the kids are a big help. I have a little lymphedema in my right arm and William's job is to nag me to do my exercises twice a day. Everyone is chipping in with the dishes. We have girls day and boys day and Billy fills in for the missing girl or boy. Basketball is starting up again. Billy is coaching Victoria and Olivia is on JV at her school. I really enjoy watching them. Patton is really involved with school projects and he fits in camping whenever he can. The weather is getting cooler and we are all looking forward to Christmas. Love you all!
