Hi there...guess what? We're home!! Treatment this week has been cancelled. The white count is too low. It was fine just last week, but somewhere in and amongst "life" those little cells starting leaving. And enough of them left that the doctor decided we shouldn't do any treatment without them. He's hoping they come back - by next Tuesday. That's when we'll count them again. More than all that, I am "confined" to the house...the doctor's words were "movie & popcorn" for 3-4 days...all alone. No children, no sick people (they'd really like no people at all around)...but someone has to make the popcorn!!
Oh, life has twists & turns, doesn't it...we are content to be home because it means another week to regain strength.
I'm going to be a good girl for the next few days so my gate-keeper will let me out on Sunday...see some of you then!
Much love,
Don & Deb
Praying for those white blood cells to increase by next week...have you seen Wild hearts can't be broken lately? Or A Walk In The Clouds?....We love you! David and Laura
ReplyDeleteAnd you were wondering why you were so emotional the other day? There you go...all that chemistry going on inside of you creates all kinds of "things" that we do not understand...mine still does and I am a year and a half past transplant. Laying low can be a good thing...enjoy the quiet...enjoy Don...enjoy the comfort and security that is "HOME". The Lord is watching over that cell count...have NO DOUBT!

Oh, Deb....I am so sorry that those little white cells didn't show up yesterday. But hey think of all the times that 3-4 days in the house to do what ever you want sounded SOOOOOO good. Well now is your time. Can delivers be made? or should things from the outside not be brought in? Let us know. I can bring movies, books, food, etc. Whatever you want.
ReplyDeletePraying for you sweetie and that those little cells show up next week.
Love you much,
Donna
Am anxious to see how you handle the 3-4 days at home!??? Ya know when we are busy, busy, busy (which is most of the time) we would love 3-4 days at home!!! Hope you & Don enjoy the time together. I have 2 spots on my carpet from Shannon,if you need some time to yourself!!!! Just kidding!!!!! Oh my gosh, Jim is talking of retirement - that's more than 3 or 4 days, isn't it?????? We love you - get those white cells up, girl!!! We'll be talking to you. You are in our prayers!
