Good morning @loribmt and @katgob
As usual, your encouragement lifts me up. Thank you for that!
Hope you enjoyed a great weekend.
Yes, today is another day to be grateful for!
My husband continues to do well, moving around, eating as much as he can - he requested some rotisserie chicken over the weekend and I naturally delivered - and he is trying to drink enough water too. He reported last night he is starting to develop some sores in his mouth. Blood counts are dropping steadily as expected but haven’t bottomed out yet. Today is +5. So I expect this week will be more difficult for him than last week. I know his care team has tools to help him through this. And before we know it, it will be next week and his counts will start climbing again. 🙏 His spirits are good, and he tells me he feels calm every night as he goes to sleep. Good drugs help, but I think this experience has given him new hope for his future that is more real now than ever.
I so appreciate knowing I can come here for support, humor and encouragement. Thank you. I want to offer others the same.
I’ll check in later this week.
Have a good day!
Mary
