More good news! My blood test results yesterday were stable enough to allow me to receive my fifth our of six scheduled chemo treatments. I really do feel "normal" with enough energy to go about my daily routine of doing laundry, running errands, cleaning house, and visiting with friends. I am going to school for a few hours today to get things in order for when we return after the holidays. Since I was in the hospital the whole week just prior to our Christmas break, everything in my office and in the library was left "as is", which I'm sure is not a pretty picture! It will give me peace of mind to put a dent in cleaning up the chaos. I am still amazed at the progress I have made in a little over a week and am so thankful that I am here writing this update, feeling positive and excited about the coming new year. Sarah, Bob, and I have so much to be thankful for in 2009 and are amazed daily at the outpouring of love, prayers, and support we receive from our extended family and friends all across the country. It has been a life-changing, amazing journey! Love to you all!
