Another Day Down

It's been a great day - Dave has gained another 3 lbs., and his bone marrow biopsy results showed no sign of cancer in his bone marrow. We won't know how successful the radiation is for a couple of months when he has a CT scan. Keep praying for remission! His attitude is great and his legs are like rubber! He will gain that strength back as soon as radiation is completed. We have had a wonderful visit with my sister and b-i-l. Dawn and I went to a great yarn shop in the University District where she found some yarn for a sweater. It was a beautiful shop. Dave enjoyed his visit with Gary too. Two more days of radiation, then Thurs. we sign discharge papers and are officially released. How exciting!

  1. Jennifer,
    It is so good to hear that you will soon be back in Whitefish, sorry that I missed your brief visit earlier this month. Talking about yarn, I was watching Wheel of Fortune last night and Vanna announce her new line of yarn. You can go to lionbrand.com 1/2 of the proceeds go to St Jude. God Speed and hope to see soon!

  2. The end is in sight. You both have done a great job getting through all the treatment, transplant and radiation. Now all you have to concentrate on healing. It takes awhile so be patient. Keep in touch when you get back to Whitefish. You can ask me questions and Long Term Care is great place for questions either by phone or email.
