Things are going smoothly for now.

Don has slowly been regaining his strength since coming home. He has been weak and sleeping some during the daytime, which is not like him. He has had some digestive problems. He says it feels like the lining of his stomach is irritated. He eats small meals during the daytime, when he can. Its a funny thing but most chemo patients prefer one certain type of food. Last time seven years ago, Don prefered breakfast foods, and ice cream. This time he prefer's cold foods, and ice cream...LOL. But as they told us ...let him eat whatever he want's when he want's.
The Dr. told us that in seven days from his chemo his blood counts would go down, and they did exactly seven days later. His white blood cell count, red blood cell count and his platlets all were very low, thus his resistance is too.
Don hopes to have enough strength to go golfing some next week, and maybe a little fishing. It is sad, but the second week out from chemo he feels alot better, just in time to go and do it all again! His next chemo is scheduled for April 13th.
Today we got to spend some time with family. Our daughter and grandchildren came over for a Easter Egg Hunt. Then Don's Dad and Step Mom, and Step Brother all came over for a visit. It was so good to see them all. Today felt almost normal. And days of normality are good. Don and I always said, after going though things like this, boring is good!!
God is so good, and we thank Him for all our days, good and bad. We miss our friends, but love your phone calls. Soon maybe we can see you all.
Everyone have a Blessed and Happy Easter...He is RISEN!
Blessings,
Don and Kathi
