Day +23

Hello Everyone. We celebrated Steve's birthday this week! I bought one of his favorite cakes, a white chocolate raspberry buntlet from the "Nothing Bunt Cakes" store. Unfortunately he didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. Although his appetite has somewhat increased the cake didn't taste very good to him and he didn't feel like eating a whole lot of it. Although he has been eating a little more each day and the taste of food is improving, how ever so slightly.
This week his red blood cells and platelet counts were good but his white blood counts and ANC (0.8) took a dive. So he's back on the neupogen shots again. I was not excited about giving the shots but I told him that I was grateful for what the neupogen does for him. He's still on the anti-nausea pills, but they are contributing to his fatigue. The days are long as we wait for him to gain strength and energy. And it's hard to sleep at night, for both of us.
But we are resting in the Lord and thank him each day for the life we have and most importantly for the hope we have in Jesus. Be sure to give your loved ones a hug and tell them how much you love them. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Merry Christmas
Isaiah 53
