I know it's been a while since we have updated. "No news is good news" is why we haven't updated. Everything is going along as it should and my weekly check ups are more of the same. My blood counts do bounce around a bit, so I don't get too excited if they get really low one week as the next week, they may go up. All of them are still low-below the normal range, but lately have gone up and that is encouraging that the bone marrow is working. I know that it will be a while before anything is 'normal', so I don't get too excited. I had a bone marrow biopsy and CT scan last week and both show that the doner cells are working.
I am enjoying going on some outings. I also try to get out and walk everyday. I feel that I have a little more energy and stamina. And my hair is slowly coming back in. I love seeing my children and grandchildren.(There are only 3 grandchildren that live here.) I had a great weekend with Anthony a few weeks ago. He was a great help and fun to have around. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving. We have several coming-all staying at different places-but it will be wonderful to have family around.
We are still being very careful about 'germs' with the flu season coming. I know I'm OCD about it, but I have no defenses right now, so I have to be careful.
We have a lot to look forward to and I'm so grateful for life. It's a joy to wake up every morning.
I'll get Katie to post the next blog-she is much more interesting and has a flair for writing.
Thanks for all your support!
Kathy
Kathy, Your dear husband sent me the link to your blog. My Mother (Brooks) whom you met in Israel always asks about you and how your doing. She thought you were such a nice lady and is grateful she was able to meet you in Israel. I sent her your blog link as well so she can stay updated on how you are doing. You are in our prayers and please know of the concern and care we have for you.
