We went to Denver yesterday for Doug's three month bone marrow biopsy and blood tests. We will get the results next Tuesday when we go for the doctor visit. We are anticipating good news but there are no guarantees. We should find out if Doug is in a complete remission or not.
Doug had "conscious sedation" for the biopsy so remembers nothing of the procedure, although he is a bit sore at the puncture site in his hip today. The tech drew six tubes of blood for various tests.
Doug drove halfway to Denver; I drove all the way back. We heard that some areas had severe weather but we had good driving.
Doug continues to have some dizzy spells but otherwise is doing great.
We enjoyed a visit with "old" friends Gary and Jan Stephan when they came to Buena Vista a couple of weeks ago. Since Doug's dining restrictions are lifted now, we made up for lost time and ate out.
My sister and brother in law are coming from Tennessee to BV July 1; they will stay a week at a nearby campground. We are really looking forward to seeing them.
I have been doing quite a bit of yard work and planting flowers. I didn't really want a yard to maintain but I confess that I am enjoying the flowers. We have lots of things blooming now -- yellow climbing roses, iris, poppies, lupines, columbines, and gobs of cute volunteer pansies. Today I planted some pink yarrow. Doug sits and watches - I know he'd rather be helping but he's still restricted from yard work.
We continue to be very thankful for all our blessings.
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
Phillipians 4:6-7
Love to all.
