Saturday afternoon

Right now Deb is in her clinic chair getting an iv. She already had her wonderful tummy shot.

Last night and this morning have been peaceful and quiet.Last evening Deb's appetite suddenly turned on. She gave me a specific meal she wanted.fortunately I had the makings for it. Guess what her palate craved?

Angel hair pasta,with olive oil,Italian seasoning, and chipped and peeled tomatoes with melted cheese mixed in. That's what Deb wanted so that's what chef Vern made. She ate a nice serving.

Now for breakfast,Deb wanted to have the watermelon I had picked up.After washing it carefully with antiseptic soap in our small kitchen sink,I cut it up and gave her a bowl of the melon heart: Yuk! She spit it out because was 'burning' her mouth. Ever tasted a fiery watermelon? It's chemo taste buds.

Since we cannot get labs at the hotel on weekends, we had a long quiet morning. Deb asked me to read scripture to her, so I read Ephesians chapter 5 & 6 which deal with the relationships of husbands and wives, parents and children. Good advice there in the human owners manual!

So, were are eagerly awaiting today's labs because based on the positive way Deb is feeling and acting,we think they will be good. I have the makings for spagetti and meat sauce srpet aside for Deb when her appetite really comes back. After losing more than fifty pounds she deserves a nice meal.

Still no baby. We keep listening for Amanda's phone ring.

Blessings all

Vern
