Sat.Aug.30

Hi Remember this computer stuff is very very new to me,well I wrote and sent a blog around 3:00p.m. Sent it and this thing told me I had successfully sent it,but it shows up no where, and even though Brenda is feeling soooooooooooooo much better this p.m. she just doesn't feel like messing with my doings. So if sometime somewhere this shows up we will have 2 for this day, therefore I will make a short summary of my ramblings early. She did not have a good night or a.m. but came back this afternoon to almost feeling human......... They have successfully kept her temp. down, the rash is so much better, they have kept control of the blood pressure but that medicine makes her heart race, and has shortness of breath . They have her on oxygen all the time now. With all that ,she truly is better than she was Tues.-Fri... Tomorrow she will take her last chemo. this they have given her Day +1-+3-+6 & +11 which is tomorrow. Due to her never being totally rid of cancer the first 3 rounds of chemo this is to make sure there are no sneaky little Brut's hanging out wondering where his buddies are, and interfering with her new cells. This is also the round that can and most generally does cause terrible mouth & throat sores, I so pray she can avoid this as she has taken extra precaution's with a rinse they provide. Cleo dropped by, finished Brenda's walk with her and reported Allan is on the mend, very tired, sore and uncomfortable,but pulling thro. Thank God for blessing the Roberts family. For any of you who might be interested , I am so excited to report both Kirk & Leigh had winning ball games for their opening season. Things are starting off right. And last but not least , we want to wish MARSHA a happy birthday and many many more... Won't tell how old she is BUT I was 16 this day back then.... Until tomorrow have a fun filled and extra safe weekend. Love to all chick

  6. Thanks for keeping us updated, Chicken. We continue to pray for Brenda, and you as the caregiver (the hardest job in times of illness). Love the birthday news! I had forgotten that Marsha was always celebrating a birthday just as we started school every fall. Thanks for the reminder. Joyce

  7. Hi Brenda and Chicken,
    Thanks for the update! To be honest I usually get updates by stopping by the pharmacy and asking what they have heard. Today I will be brave and try blogging--so far , so good.
    You are often in my thoughts and daily in my prayers. In His love, Lynelle
