Elena will really be here tomorrow!

I can hardly post a picture to compete with last night’s video! The best I can do is post a picture of Elena until she gets here so I can make a new picture. The one I posted is from some time back. Gretta called last night to ask if it was okay with us if they come and spend the day tomorrow instead of come tonight after the funeral and leave tomorrow after lunch. I’m so agreeable to ANY time they can come! I hated to wait longer, but I’m just happy to have them come when it’s best for them. This way she will have less to pack up and move since they won’t be staying the night. I understand that, because taking ME anywhere these days is like traveling with a baby!

We can hardly wait for morning to come, since they are coming for breakfast! We’ll take lots of pictures and get some new shots on here tomorrow night.

Today my blood test showed that my blood is still low. That’s not a surprise; this is about the same time in the cycle that we’ve taken it before and been rejected for chemo because it was so low. I’m not scheduled for chemo until the 26th, so this is not a surprise. I just hoped it would be better. I still have 9 days to build it up before the chemo, so I’m good. Even if I don’t get it up by then, we’ll just delay it and I’ll still be okay with it. I get in such a hurry to get DONE with all this, but God’s timing is good for me.

I’m feeling really good. I wish how I felt was an indicator of how my blood is doing. The great thing is that I feel good, though! I give so many thanks for that blessing. I take it as a clue from God that He is answering our prayers and taking care of me. The doctor has been very impressed, saying, “You are tolerating the chemo very well.” I agree and thank God for holding me in His hands.

I thank Him for safe travels for Gretta and Garrett and Elena, too. We give thanks for two healthy, beautiful NEW granddaughters after already having 6 beautiful, healthy and happy granddaughters and 7 handsome, healthy and happy grandsons! What a blessed family. PTL!
