Saturday Summary

Back at Wilford Hall, feeling the worst I've ever felt during this whole ordeal. :o(

When I first got back, they said I might get to go out on another pass, but when my lab counts came back I was already neutropenic, so I'm stuck here for probably a couple of weeks, maybe longer, until my counts start to come back up.

I've spent most of the day just lying in bed watching TV. I ate breakfast at home (waffles with raspberries), but couldn't eat much of it. Lunch was a few potato chips, a vanilla pudding cup and about 4 oz. of Coke Zero. I can barely stand the smell of food. Even non-food smells make me gag and heave.

I'm using the Zofran, but it's not helping much right now. Too much ick in my body, I guess. The taste in my mouth is nearly unbearable.

The picture is of Reece last night when I was home. It was all rainy and windy outside. He looked so sweet and cozy curled up on the couch watching Little Bear. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with him.

Lyssa, are you praying for me? I love you!

Prayers here still. Remember my Guardian Angel is available on loan ;) Actually, I have had a talk with my Guardian Angel and told him he has my permission to fly to your side to aid if needed, and then he can rush back to me :)

I know you probably just feel awful right now, but I'm so glad you got some time with Reese.

Hang in there, this will pass :)

Thank you, all my dear ones! Your prayers are amazing. I feel much better than I did yesterday. The doctor says I probably won't feel as badly again as I did yesterday. I'm praying he's right about that! I love you all, and thank God for each one of you.

I offered my Mass and my Holy Communion for you last night. I got a huge piece of the Host too - I always seem to get that when I am praying especially hard for something.
