It's been a quiet few weeks since we got back from the last Arkansas trip. Everything revolves around Tuesday chemo each week.  Goes like this: Every Tuesday afternoon we go to the local clinic and Deb gets blood tests and a mini-physical with the doc. If her numbers are acceptable, she gets chemo. Then she spends the rest of the week resting and sleeping a lot getting ready for the next week. Very little time outside the home and going virtually no where.

So, how does the very sociable gal stay in contact with her world? Her iPad and iPhone! Here she is getting her daily bedtime call from grand daughter Ellie. They use FaceTime which is a video talk between the two.

For contact with her European grand daughter, she sometimes uses Skype, but mostly the phone.

Here's a photo of our Belgium grand daughter Evelyn strolling thru Brussels with her friend.


So, what's ahead?  This time next week we will be heading back to Little Rock for a week of tests. Then we have a conference with our doc to determine what's next.  Our hope and prayer is that the home chemo would have shrunk the lesions so we can continue with local Georgia chemo. Otherwise, we will be in what is called 'salvage therapy.' That means normal treatment plans are not working and they have to seek something unusual to keep Deb clicking.

Join us in that prayer? Thanks!
