RD Update August 26, 2010

RD's blood count was 12.3 today!! That is good if it stays up but if it starts falling they have to wait until it is 10 or below before he can take more Procrit. I'm hoping that since they increased his dosage the first of August that it 'jump-started' his bone morrow to start making the blood cells. We go next week for blood tests and B12 shot and if it is still up we may not have to go for 2 weeks and then once a month if it continues to stay good.

Today was my Dad's birthday, he would have been 82. It will be two years in September since he passed away. I miss him so much.

RD, etc.

RD's bloodcount was up last Thursday!! It is up one week, down the next but at least it is within the bounds so he doesn't have to have a transfusion. When we were in the chemo lab a lady was getting treatment and she was crocheting. We started talking and found out that her son was my son's PT when he hurt his back. She also sews!! She is a very sweet person and now we are friends on FB!!

I have been tracing some patterns, getting ready to sew this week. Bridget, my daughter by marriage, is coming to sew on Thursday, I'm so excited. She is wanting to learn and I know she will do great!!

Abigail's Solo

Our church is having revival this week. Last night (Monday 8-17-2010)Abigail sang a solo. She did GREAT. She sang Amazing Grace, the one that has an upbeat to the music. She is loving Kindergarten, she enjoys learning sooooo much!!

My Fun/Crazy Day!!

I have to tell you about my day. We picked up Hunter yesterday around 4:00 and his Dad just picked him up. Today he went in the bathroom and yelled, "Nanny, Nanny there is a lizard in here!!" RD was sleeping and didn't feel too well but Hunter ran in there to tell him. Sure enough there was a lizard!! I have never had anything like that happen before and hope I never do again; haven't had a mouse in years!! I keep those sticky pads in my closets just in case a spider should get inside. So I closed the bathroom door, put down the sticky pads and told Hunter to go to the other bathroom...LOL. We kept checking on 'the lizard'. Hunter went to check and came back jumping up and down telling me that we had caught it. Sure enough, we had. I was standing there looking at it and said, under my breath, I don't know what to do with it. He just marched right over there, picked up the sticky pad (other side from the lizard) and wanted to know what I wanted him to do with it. I did atleast go with him to take it outside. Yes, I am embarrassed that my 3 year old DGS had to rescue me. He didn't want to touch the lizard but he didn't mind at all picking up the pad. He is 'all-boy' when it comes to bugs, frogs, etc. and Abigail is 'all-girl'....LOL. That's enough excitement for me for a loooong time....LOL.!!.

Hunter Update

Hunter went for his recheck yesterday and he received a clean bill of health. Poor little guy, he went to his first day of preschool today and was pushing a dump truck and fell on the truck and cut his lip. I just love that sweet little fella!!

RD Update August 4, 2010

RD's CT showed that the tumor has decreased alittle more and they are saying it is 'stable'. We will have to keep up the weekly trips to Jackson for Procrit shots each week. The emphysema has gotten worse. Prayers that he will continue to improve.
