Yesterday my ANCs were 3.8, up from 0.9 on Friday, but not as high as the last recovery, which was 0.7 to 4.4. I had treatment, but the next few days will be tough as my white cells will take quite a beating. Thank goodness I've been able to give myself an extra two days to recover and will try for my final treatment of this round on Friday, August 15. Ed is watching me like a hawk for an sign of low counts, like a fever, but so far so good.
We had a fun visit with our friends, Anne and Andy, and received a special bonus of finally having an opportunity to meet their lovely daughter, Amanda. They (Anne) forgot their bathing suits, which was a bit of a bummer since it was possibly one of the nicest pool days of the season, but we hit the pool in their honor after they headed back to Pennsylvania. Thanks for coming to see us!
Forgot to wish our friends John and Joann much luck in their new home in Tennessee. They have moved across the state and are now closer to their children and grandchildren. Hope you are all settled in and enjoying your new home!
My mom turned 78 today. Happy birthday, Mom!!! She's doing well, still living on her own and keeping somewhat busy. She'll be coming to stay for a few days next week. I hope we have some warm, sunny weather so we can enjoy the pool.
In closing, I just thought I would mention again what a terrific husband I have. Besides taking excellent care of me (even though sometimes the attention can be a little annoying) and putting up with all of my aggravation, my steriod-induced moodiness, and my crazy treatment, doctor and scan schedules, he still manages to surprise me, even after almost 20 years of marriage. Here's the surprise he walked in the door with the other day (and no, he didn't buy or do anything he wasn't supposed to -- I asked LOL):
