Hi Everyone! I apologize for not updating sooner. Simple tasks seemed to be so hard to do - like mom said tying my shoes or anything requiring fine motor skills were and still are difficult. Even typing is somewhat of a challenge. I am still very weak and have to have help walking anywhere due to my lack of balance (my mother is very
diligent about making sure someone is with me everywhere I walk). I can't say that my mouth sores are better, but we're managing my foods fairly well. I'm at one of those points where you eat to live instead of "living to eat".
In good news, we did get the weekend off and had some great company. My White Blood Cell count was 5.7 (down from 8.3ish) so at least we're still going in the right direction even without the oral chemotherapy pills.
Keep the love and keep praying, that is all I can ask for at this point, Amy
I hope this is not a duplicate, lost the first comment. But, my dear Amy, you have so much love and so many prayers being made for you by so, so many people. We all love you and your strength. You're very special and I love you.

Amy!! You never need to apologize to any of us. It is just so good to "see" your comments. That way we know you are feeling some better. You are amazing, Pretty Lady. I am told you are now a REDhead when you choose to be. In my opinion that is a excellent choice :) Alli seems to have a bit it as well.
ReplyDeleteWe love you and continue to pray diligently. Your strength is a blessing to us.

Good to hear from you and know you're feeling a bit better. You are constantly in our thoughts, so our love is always going out to you and our prayers are always going up for you. "Never ceasing." It's hard to realize how much you're struggling, but inspirational that with all you've been through you're still keepin'on keepin' on. Your honesty about your illness and it's effects is the backdrop for what we see when you share your faith and positive outlook.
