Home, addendum
No fever for 48 hours, ANC is 590, hemoglobin a bit low at 8.8, but they think that will come up. He's very tired and I tucked him in at 9:00 pm and think he'll sleep just from the joy of being in his own bed! We figured out on the way home tonight that he has spent 20 out of the past 31 days in the hospital and that's not counting his 5 days of daily trips to NIH for the chemo! Thanks to Ann, Joe, Dan, Erin, and Mike for your loving care in the hospital and to Andrew for cutting the lawn--what a nice surprise. Love to all, Barbara

Aunt Barb & Uncle Jim,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are at home:-) I was over at 10 East with Mom last night, visiting for some tea and she told me about Uncle Jim's gettup he had on Saturday out in the sun! I think I should have had a towel over my head, I actually got sunburned out at Joe, Sharissa & Jacob's soccer games and Sable's softball game after that...the little kids all played in the park by the field. It's great that Michele lives so close and our kids can get together so much. Oh yeah, Aunt Barb, you can send me the picture to my cell number 661-5891 or to your email address instead of a phone number if you want. Stay well!!! Love,
Shar (& Jere)
Uncle Jim -
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're back home and comfortable. Now I can bring up something that NOBODY has commented on yet (what's with this family? Is nobody paying attention? :)
Last Wednesday, Aunt Barbara pointed out:
"share that much needed bourbon with me (although Erin only had hot chocalate!)"
Congratulations, Erin!
Love, laughter, and support,
Aaron
We thank God along with you! There's no place like home. We send prayers.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Peggy and Fred
OK, I can't stop laughing. When I first read Aaron's comment I thought, "Hmm, Aaron must think I always had a drinking problem, but now have kicked the habit"....on my second read I realized, "Hmmm, Aaron thinks I'm pregnant."
ReplyDeleteSo, to put all speculation to rest, I am neither preggers nor in AA; I had just come in from playing soccer on a rainy cold night & probably would have thrown up the stiffer stuff. Thanks for the laugh A :)
Erin
Dear Barb and Jim,
ReplyDeleteCan't even imagine how happy you both must be to be in your own home. Would love to talk to you but will refrain from ringing your phone for now! Just know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers and the whole family asks about you all the time. We pray that rest comes easier for you in your own bed. and Barb,THANKS again for keeping us so well informed. It is so appreciated!
Love to both of you,
Hugs and kisses too!

Or maybe you found yourself opening up about your problems simply because Jim asked you "How's it going?" and you sensed he really meant to hear you out...Well then...Jim Fay happened to you!
Or maybe you were influenced to vote by Jim's honest and informed fervor for his candidates...Well then...Jim Fay happened to you!
Or maybe You're the kid who had to write "What I did on summer vacation" and found yourself writing about Jim's antics at the beach, including making a head covering (hat?) out of yesterday's newspaper and wearing it proudly all day...Well then...Jim Fay happened to you!
