Home from Nebraska, resuming Revlimid

After a week off the Revlimid, Doug's ANC came up to 1.9. So he is back on 5 mg. Rev daily, and will have another CBC this week.

We are glad to be home, but we did have a good trip to Neb. Doug's mother is doing as well as can be expected for age 99. Her biggest physical problem is loss of vision. She has some peripheral vision, so she gets around her apartment pretty well. She is not a fall risk; she walks without a cane.  When she goes out in the halls or outside she does hold on to whoever is with her. She has two wonderful ladies from Home Instead who come daily to make sure she eats lunch and take her meds, and do any errands. If she is having a bad day they come again in the evening. She really values her independence - she has consistently refused to come to Colorado. Quite a lady.

Doug did well on the trip. He did get a little tired but still wanted to do the bulk of the driving. I am so thankful for no infections with the low white count. We are enjoying life and each other. Praise God.
