Well, John Took Eli to the clinic on Monday and his platelets were at an all time low of 7,000!!! He got a bag of platelets and his chemo and John said all went well. The good news was that it seemed as though his blood was beginning to recover, as his ANC was 410. The drs didn't want to get excited aboutit though. Well, John took him back today and he is at 1080!!! Everyone at the clinic was so happy....yea!!!!
I took Jake and Sam to the local roller rink yesterday......Jake had wanted to go for a while...anyway, I put on the skates and proceeded to fall and break my arm. I have never broken a bone in my body, yet here I am....my arm is in a splint and I see the orthopedist on Wed.
Jessica Bachand and family were in town and she took the kids to the beach and watched them while J and I went out for dinner. They are moving to Charlotte next month, it will be nice having them closer....
Please pray that Eli continues doing so well, I am a little nervous about the MRI next Thurs. Also pray for my arm to repair quikly and the pain to lessen. Thanks!!

Oh my word -- as if you didn't have enough on your plate! So sorry about the arm -- I broke my wrist several years ago the day after Thanksgiving (right hand and I am right handed). The doctors told me that everyone breaks their dominant hand/arm in a fall because that is the one you stick out to break the fall....but I ended up with a gorgeous hot pink cast (not bad for a lady in her 50's) and discovered that my family could put on Christmas dinner and wrap presents and do the tree without me! It was a very humbling experience, but so liberating as well. (And my daughter in law told me that she was so pleased to finally be able to "do something" for me). So maybe it was God's way to help me "let go." The pain does lessen, of course, but I suspect you will learn valuable lessons if you allow yourself to -- and better sooner than waiting as long as I did. You are all in my prayers. -- Candy
