Labs

Joey just finished a week of chemo. A week that was dreaded as his blood work was not looking good at all and getting worse by the day instead of better. But, his doctor decided he would do chemo even though his numbers were bad – that it would probably be worse not to do it. We were pretty worried. Today he had to go back to the lab as his doctor felt he needed to be checked immediately after chemo as this is when his numbers get even worse. It was a miracle. All of his blood work looked better and a lot better. That is basically unheard of for him on chemo week. Things always look a little worse right after chemo and sometimes a lot worse. But, this time things actually look good. Thank you to everyone that prayed for him. This is such a blessing for us. He is feeling pretty tired, which is to be expected on chemo week, but not that sick. He actually sounded pretty good when I talked to him today. He feels blessed. So do I.

The Past Week

I haven’t seemed to have anything to blog about. Not much new going on and I just haven’t been in the mood to write. I do need to ask for prayer for Joey. His numbers have never come back up from the last chemo treatment so his chemo has been postponed over and over. Now his doctor has decided that he needs to do it anyway – regardless of his numbers. So, he is starting chemo again this week and needs all the prayers he can get. He is already tired and has lost about 50 pounds and is just mentally and physically drained. This will be a hard week for him, Shannon and the rest of the family. I always worry a lot – my nature. So, please remember him in your prayers this week. 
I will just post some pictures from the past week and write more later. I have a lot of doctor appointments this week for the kids so that is going to keep me pretty busy. I am hoping to get to a store and buy the materials that Andrew and Bethany need to build a doll house. Actually, it will basically be Andrew building it for Bethany and then she will help paint and decorate – I think. They have talked about doing this for several weeks and I just haven’t managed to get out and get the materials. So, hopefully this week.

The groceries arrived and Piper always runs to meet the car. The driver never has to carry anything up to the house cause the kids run the second the car pulls in the driveway. Thank goodness for home delivery in an hour when you can’t get out to go to the store!
