Okay so I still haven't figured out everything about blogging. I couldn't figure out how to add text to the graphic I had inserted on my desktop computer. I was hoping to be smart enough to save the draft and dictate the text. Oh well the graphic on the first blog for today kind of gives you an idea that I was hooked up to some sort of infusion again today.
I woke up this morning feeling really bad. Not sick bad but weak and light headed bad. Went in to work at 6:45 and by 7:30 I decided I needed to have a CBC drawn because I kept feeling weaker and weaker and my leg muscles kept feeling mushier and mushier. Good call on my part. my hemoglobin was at 7.4.
I have to tell you that I am surrounded by the most incredible care team imaginable. It starts with Dr. B. and her nurse Candice and the chemo group at PCI and then the phenomenal nurses at the infusion center at St Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids. I was able to go right over to the hospital for the blood transfusion and Patty was willing to stay a little late so that I could get both units in today rather than having to go back tomorrow morning for the second unit. That would have meant missing another 3 hours or so of work. and, as we all know, that is a huge issue for me! Everyone in the infusion center at St Lukes is incredible. Karen and Patty are so compassionate and Jeremy is just plain wonderful. The staff on the weekends is just as great as the group during the week. I'm really lucky in that regard.
Pray that now that the bad cells are dying new good cells will grow instead. I need to prepare an eCard for some wonderful young lady who is having a birthday tomorrow.
May I our loving Father continue to carry us in His loving arms. Good night,
