Had 2:00 p.m. appointment today. This was the first late one since we’ve been here. Have mixed feelings about the later time. We like it because we were able to sleep in but I think getting up and getting going is better. We have another appointment tomorrow at 2 but I think we will request for an earlier appointment time for next week.
It was such a quick visit – they took blood work, temp, weight – asked the normal questions. Our Nurse today was Christina – a new one we had not had before. We had to wait for the blood work results and then we were on our way. The counts they are monitoring are definitely dropping as they said they would. When the packed cell volume counts go down to 25 they will need to give Don some red blood cells – an infusion. Don feels pretty sure this might happen tomorrow as that count today is 28.3 – but who knows tomorrow it might not be down to 25 so it could be on Monday.
We got back by 3:30 and Don ate some – watched the Nebraska game – and then Karen, Steve and Dan came to visit – so nice to see them all. They stayed about an hour and were on their way.
We will eat dinner soon and will watch the race. We got a flyer that due to Maintenance work we won’t have heat or hot water from 8:00 pm this evening to 7:00 a.m. tomorrow – nice huh? Not sure why they just didn’t plan on doing this during the day – but oh well, what do you do? I’m sure Don will be fine – I’ll just put x-tra blankets on the bed if I need to.
Keep the prayers coming – we appreciate them all!
Until tomorrow…………
Love you all!
Don & Muffin
