Doctor Visit

Red blood cells were low yesterday, so we stayed for a red cell transfusion after the Vidaza infusion (leaving the hospital around 4:00pm).  Chemo is given on the 4th floor in the chemo room, but the blood product is given on the 3rd floor in the hospital room, so we spent several hours in a large room with nice windows allowing the sunshine to enter.  Terry got a bit of rest and I got a bit of reading done, but neither of us were very comfortable. 

It was a long day (arriving at the hospital at 9:00am, after Terry helped pour cement around the south of the house), but we are hoping that Terry can feel a bit more energetic now.  Sometimes he does and sometimes he can't tell much difference, so we'll see how this one goes.

2 Vidaza down, 3 to go! 
I'm sorry it's spring break this week and we aren't with the kids as much as we'd hoped to be.  We are praying that this Vidaza treatment is doing the job it's supposed to be doing so it will all be worth it.

FYI - We had to pour a little cement out at one of our fields and since we had to pay a minimum price we decided it was a good time to do this section by the house.  It turned out perfect as far as the amount we ordered.  We made a small patio area from our deck to the garage door and a sidewalk around the back to the parking area.  I am so looking forward to not having to weed that area again.  :)   Now we have some deep tire marks in the lawn we will have to fill in and make right again, but there was no other way to do this.  The cement truck came at 6:30am and Terry was out there helping until it was time to leave for the appointment, then the boys finished it. 

Happy Spring Day to all!
