Family

Saturday again, the weeks really do march along quickly the older we get.

I know that people must have prayed for Bob this week,as the side affects were not as bad as last week.  Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer. Bob is sleeping now, I can tell by the snoring coming from the next room.  That is ok since he really does miss out on sleep on a lot of the nights.  It is ok, too, because Mike and Cori and the kids are in town for the weekend and are coming to our house for supper.  Bob needs to sleep before we have company. Tim and Barbie and the kids will come for dessert.  It makes me so pleased to have both of my kids and their families around.  That also makes Bob happy, actually brings him to tears.  Families are such a challenging blessing.

The appointment with the oncologist is on Mon. but the week off of chemo starts on Tues.  I can see the effect of the dexamethazone already.  Bob is loosing muscle fast.  Hate that look.  We are both looking forward to the week off and trusting that there won't be any added appointments.  This week Bob had both a PET scan and an MRI plus he was to the lab 2x so there should be some results in on Mon. 

Bob has kept up a decent work schedule, as well.   We can't say often enough how grateful we are for the company he works for.  Some of the side affects may cause Bob to think about going on disability but he is determined to stay as long as he is able.  The folks he works along side are being great as well.

I have to say that Bob also drove himself where he needed to be this week.  As my sister would say: "of course he did".

Continuing to continue on, one day at a time.
