February the first has sure come around in a hurry. I guess it is time for my Christmas dishes to be put away. I am still enjoying their cheerful look with every glass of water or cup of tea.
Groundhog day---it is interesting when we try and tell the preschool kids this folk tale. I am sure some of them think adults are strange!!!perhaps we are. However the kids also know that God is in charge of gophers and weather and us. How grateful we are that our Heavenly Father knows us and cares for us in all aspects of our lives.
Bob had an appointment with Dr. Bahlis yesterday at 5:30pm. We consider it bad news when he meets with Dr. Bahlis as we only see him when he finds "something". Bob usually sees a resident doctor. Therefore the initial reaction was UH OH good afternoon Dr. Bahlis. Then Bob thought oh!! no one else around hmmm everyone else has gone home. Dr. Bahlis didn't want to get to close to Bob---must have a fear of cold germs!!!! The numbers from lab results continue in the right direction-----down.
For my sister: Monoclonal #1---2.2 (always was low, even at the height of disease).
HGB---140
Creatine---78
Kappa/Lambda Free Ratio----.82
---------the numbers are low so we are so thankful that Bob was diagnosed when he was or Bob would still be taking Robaxacet.
Bob gets an extra week off of Chemo to try and clear up the cold, then back to the drug routine, plus Feb. 27--CT scan and Feb.28--PETscan.
These scans will tell if the cancer in the lymph nodes has disappeared. The scans will also tell whether there are any new lesions on any bones.
In spite of everything, we praise the Lord for the awesome care that Bob has and is receiving at the Tom Baker Cancer Center.
