We have been enjoying the quietness and peacefulness of home these few days. Monday, Amanda took Deb to the Dr and the local hospital for the required blood tests that must be forwarded back to Little Rock. Tuesday, son Stephen came down from Atlanta for a few days visit. Deb's brother Tim drove Deb's mom Doris up from Warner Robins for a visit.
Last night was national sort-out-the-weekly-pills night for Vern.
Deb continues to strengthen and her mental clarity is returning. The chemo pills we started Mon night are making her sleepy. Her appetite has returned, aided no-doubt by the wonderful meals some are providing:otherwise, her plate would contain Vern's creations which she's had enough of for a while.
Vern's been back at work.
The loving and kind response of fellow associates and friends continues to be overwhelming to us.Thanks everyone!
Our yard was dressed up by some yard angels while we were absent and has never looked better to us. Thanks all you yard angels!
With that improvement, the yard has attracted several new residents who have enjoyed the solitude of no humans for a month. A family of opossums is seen in the wild area. Two medium sized hawks have also been our joy. They sit and watch us watching them: Kissinger would have described it as 'Peaceful co-existence'.
Thursday brings more medical tests.
Blessings all!
Vern
