Blood Counts Good

We are at our RV park near Hondo Texas. Doug had his monthly blood draw done a few days ago; we got results, and they are good. Some values are a bit high, some a bit low, but that's due to the chemo. His light chain numbers are right where we want to see them - whew. His BUN and Creatine are better than last month. He's been trying to eat low carb, but blew the diabetic diet at a Chinese buffet. It was during the one week a month when he is off Revlimid and has working taste buds, so he enjoyed it. He continues to tire easily, but that's what naps are for. We've been taking daily walks.

We've been enjoying meeting up with some friends here. This area is getting some much needed rain, but we've also had nice sunny days.

We are selling our big 5th wheel RV. We have a buyer already, so we are glad of that. We decided that since Doug needs to check in monthly with the doc, it doesn't make financial sense to come all the way down south and stay only a month or so. We'll sell the lot back to the Co-op.

We are 'cheating' with doctor's permission, and staying here to see our oldest grandson graduate from Air Force basic training March 9 at Lackland AFB. We're excited to be able to attend that.

I want to share this with you. It's from Max Lucado's 'UpWords':

"You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner, and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need."

Love to all.
