SUNDAY NOV 23. 2008

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO YOU,

WE HAVE STARTED OUT RUNNING TODAY, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A QUIET DAY BUT HAS ALREADY PROVEN ME WRONG. HAD TO HAVE MORE PLATELETS AT 5 THIS AM AND HAD A REAL CHATTY NURSE THAT OBVIOUSLY WANTED ME TO HELP KEEP HER AWAKE UNTIL 7 SO SHE HUNG OUT WHILE THE PLATELETS RAN. FOLLOWED BY THE GUY DOING VITALS AT 7:30, KEEPING IN MIND I HAD JUST TAKEN 2 TYLENOL AND 1 BENADRYL BEFORE MY PLATELETS SO I WAS LOOKING FOREWARD TO SLEEPING THEM OFF. FINALLY GAVE IT UP AT 7;30, 7;45 GOT A CALL FROM JEFF HE WAS OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL READY TO COME AND SEE ME SO WE GRABBED SOME CEREAL, MILK AND JUICE, CAME BACK TO THE ROOM AND HAD BREAKFAST. HE HAD TO LEAVE BY 10 SO HE COULD GET HOME TO TEND THE BOYS WHILE TINA WENT TO THE BRONCO GAME. I AM NOW EXPECTING COYS FAMILY, THEY WERE STOPPING BY AFTER CHURCH. SO IT LOOKS LIKE OUR AFTERNOON MIGHT BE QUIET FOR WATCHING THE GAME. THEN TOMORROW I HOPE TO BUST OUT OF PSL JAIL ONCE AGAIN.

YESTERDAY- 5AM HAD PLATELETS, SOME LIQUID BREAKFAST, THEY DROPPED MY STEROID TO 20 MG,DR WANTS ANOTHER SPINAL TAP BEFORE I LEAVE, SEEMS TO THINK CANCER HAD GOTTEN INTO THERE BUT WASNT SURE HE HAD READ THE RIGHT CHART. HAD ANOTHER X-RAY OF THE STOMACH, THE SURGEON WAS IN LATER SAID ALL LOOKED GOOD. THE DOCTOR ALSO THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOING WELL AND THAT I COULD START A BLAND DIET. THEY ARE STILL DOING ALOT OF BLOOD CULTURES TO MAKE SURE IF I HAVE A BUG THAT THEY ARE TREATING THE RIGHT ONE.I CANT BELEIVE THE ANTIBIOTICS THAT CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE THE INFECTION.ITS ALL BEYOND ME.OTHER THAN THAT I THINK I AM GOOD.

I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO STAY IN GOOD TOUCH FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND. LOVE YOU!!!!BRENDA AND FAMILY

Hi, sounds like you have had a tough weekend but I hope things look better for you tomorrow and you get out of there. Is Brian still there so you will have someone with you when you do get out? Starting to get cold here but I think it is suppose to warm up some later in the week. We will leave for Delta on Tues. Will spend Thanksgiving with whoever is there and take care of some house things. Praying for you as always. Love, Amy

Hi Brenda
I thought you could use a smile today so I am sending you one. You sounded out of it this morning (Monday) I hope you are doing better now. You are in my heart and as always in my prayers. Hang in there. Love you barb
