Round 3

Well, a 30% reduction in chemo dose seems to be a lot easier on the cute blonde. She is still feeling pretty tired and groggy, but overall she's feeling much better than after the previous two sessions.

The nurses at Oncology Associates told her that her priviledges had been revoked after she drove to Chris and Leisa's house. Trela, now the "bad girl" at the clinic is not allowed to be in possession of car keys while undergoing chemo. Like the bar drunk at closing time her protests that "I'm fine to drive... really." will not be accepted. Luckily there is no shortage of designated drivers for her.

About a week from now will be the low point for her blood counts, so we'll hope that she can avoid IV antibiotics and/or a hospital stay this time. We'll keep you posted.

Meg Riney stopped by for the afternoon yesterday and kept Trela company. From what Meg told me today, Loopy isn't just a classic childrens story book.

Other than that things here are going well, Kile and Cavanaugh are having a good time at Grammie's and things at work for me are getting accomplished.

Until next time...

Hi Trela and Eric, I'm posting here too because this is the page I wanted to post my comment. Not sure why it went to the other one.... anyway...you two sure have things figured out. I mean me watching Kile and Cavanaugh. First Kile comes and stays with me while he potty trains and now Cavanaugh is here while cutting her first tooth! WOW, you two have timing. The kids took their big events in stride, but does this mean I should be prepared to teach them both to drive?
Love and laughs, Grammie

Trela, I'm glad to hear that the adjustments to your chemo have helped you to feel better. You are in my prayers every morning and will continue to be.
