Update
PET scan was done on Nov. 27 and needle biopsy on Dec. 2. We won't get results til next Thursday (Dec. 10) when we have a clinic appt. at NIH. But a blood test has shown that Jim is no longer neutropenic--first time in several weeks. Our Thanksgiving was so nice at Kathleen and Dan's--a small group of 18. Jim was able to sleep between dinner courses and he was very comfortable. He's been having a hard time with nervousness and anxiety lately, but had a very good day on Tuesday when we went to the National Art Gallery. They have wheelchairs and I was able to wheel him around to various exhibits, do a little Christmas shopping in the shop, and have lunch there in the cafe--all in all, a lovely day. Looking for more of those. Barbara

It sound like you are finding time to get out and about and to be together. I'm glad to hear that. I love you.
ReplyDeleteDear Barbara and Jim,
ReplyDeleteWe love you! So happy to hear that you two have been able to get out together a little bit. Hope that your weather stays decent for now. Has it been very cold? Don't know if you noticed on the news that we had a little surprise weather change last wee. On Friday we actually had an all day snow fall! I was at work the whole day but watched from the window. Alyssa's school district remained open but some school districts around us released the kids at 11 am due to the weather. And there was nothing else on the news for 2 days. The whole place goes crazy. AT Alyssa's school they did let the kids go out and play in the snow. And I walked out of work that night to a frozen car. Not a very common thing here in Houston! Many prayers still coming your way! It was great talking to both of you recently. I'll call again soon. God less you. Lots of love, hugs and kisses,
Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
We'll be thinking of you tomorrow at NIH.
