Tuesday night

After we completed our clinic time today, we heard someone playing a beautiful melody on the Steinway on the first floor. The sound wafts throughout the twelve story atrium. Deb went over to the atrium on the fourth floor and enjoyed the music. Eventually we elevated down to the first floor and stopped by to thank the lady playing. She continued playing some favorite tunes and we soon joined in singing along with her. Finally we found out that she is here as caregiver to her husband who was here for a checkup. They live in Savannah,Ga and he has been in remission for 5 years.  That was encouraging!

Deb requested continuing prayer from each of you. She peaked out yesterday and this morning. This afternoon she began the downward spiral that will make her very sick and vulnerable over the next week or so. You see, the chemo is not too bad while taking it. It's the days after that it does it's important near-death-causing impact on the body. In the next few days Deb will have to begin wearing a mask in public plus life thru some bad side affects.

We met a Indian couple this morning here for a five year check. Their life is now near-normal they said. We met a lady from Deb's childhood Tennessee home. Our classmates are encouraging one another.
