Hello, All.
I haven't seen Kathryn "like" any of her Facebook messages (and of course she has hundreds of well-wishers) in several days. She actually had a short post on Facebook about three days ago, that just said she was thanking "God and the universe for another blessed day".
We're doing OK here in VT. Steve is hanging in there after his 3rd round of the new chemo cocktail. His labs hit the toilet about 9 days later each time...he got 12 units of platelets a couple of days ago, and his platelets are back up to 40K now (from 20K), WBCs very slowly recover. Incredibly cold here. Caregiving is so hard, as so many of my friends here know. I am having more and more trouble with neuropathy (serious trouble operating fingers) and am starting to wonder if I've developed MS. Will be getting an appointment with a neurologist when I get a minute.
Love to all,
Bev
