The Fam and Round #8

I'm sorry for the lack of blogging but T and I had family in town again. The visit was awesome. T's mom, his little sister and brother and my momma were here from Saturday till early Friday morning. I had such a great time. Man I miss my momma. She's such a wonderful lady and so willing to take care of me. It's nice to be babied by your momma every once in a while. :) We got to spend a lot of alone time together talking and hanging out which we have not gotten to do in I don't know how long. We rented a cottage on Hunting Island for 4 days right beside the light house and just a walk to the beach- such a great idea!

Today I started round #8 of chemo and got to see the doc. My red blood cell count is down to 7.4 therefore tomorrow morning I will undergo another blood transfusion. Dr. Chahin was a little worried because I just had one when I was in the hospital which was only 3 weeks ago. Usually I don't need one yet. We also scheduled a CT scan for Friday afternoon to check the progress of chemo up to this point. I'm extremely anxious to know what's going on. We will meet with Dr. Chahin Monday to discuss the results.

Today when we got home from chemo I was making sweet tea in the kitchen and Thomas was sitting at the dinning room table. He looked at me kind of funny and then asked if the table looked different. We had been home for awhile and I hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. But there sure was something new- a beautiful vase of white and red roses!! And three yellow ones on the TV. How freakin sweet! They came at just the right time too. He is such an amazing husband. He knows how to make me feel loved and help me get through the rough times. And, as I sit here typing this, he is in the kitchen making dinner- sloppy joes and french fries. It doesn't get any better than this!
