Hey Family
I am at work but will take a minute to leave you a note. Took J W to Lubbock yesterday morn for his 3rd Procrit shot and they also drew blood for a CBC. On the schedule, it looks like they will do that every other time we go. He was not strong enough to walk to the van so I had to take him out in the wheelchair and then same thing after got to Lubbock. That chair is sort of heavy for me to load but I did manage. The cold wind was hard to deal with. Had Home Health to talk to Dr. Alley about starting him back on Predisone (he was taking a low dose before all this started) Dr Alley agreed that it might help him so started him back on it plus after the 3rd shot of Procrit it is suppose to boost his red blood cells enough to help him feel better. Last night he had me help him get up, put some clothes on and sat in his chair in living room and ate supper. This was a HUGE step. I was encouraged!!!! We are getting a little more sleep at night but this has reminded me how it was to have a new baby. (look out Betsy and Jared)
Kittie brought us over Thanksgiving dinner and checks on us daily. Thank God for her. Her and Gary have had to come over twice and get J W up out of the floor. Betsy, this past weekend I did manage to get started on Kate's quilt. Got the blanket stitch finished on all 15 squares. Now next step is to set the quilt all together with the pink stripping and then it will be ready to "sandwich" together and do the actual quilting. I did the blanket stitch while sitting on the bed with J W. I can't go off to the sewing room, too far away and I can't hear him call me.It was like a dream that I got to see all the Ft Worth bunch. I was so very very tired from the week at the hospital with not over an hour sleep at a time plus I got my famous ear infection from wearing my hearing aid all night. Have been able to get that cleared up now tho since we are home. Anyway all your sweet faces smiling at me sure did cheer my heart up. Caden is acting so grown up and Toby is so sweet. Wish I could have had time to love on them more and play with them. Home Health coming sure took away from our time. Anyway you all looked so good and it was wonderful to see you!!!!Got to get to work......Later....Love, Maw
