Positive things this afternoon. Anne completed walking 1/14 of a mile, one lap around the 5th floor of the Gibson Pavillion. And,,,, the diahrea is no more, a wonderful thing according to Anne.
She slept a bit this afternoon, and is doing alot better. Food is still limited. Anne had trouble digesting her lunch. She has a good attitude. Lucky for me we didn't play cribbage yet.
She is having some vanilla soy milk for supper.
Tomorrow is Sunday and she'll be flying around here. I'm sure she'll go home on Monday.
We thank Laurie and Dana for caring for Dixie and Beasley (our pets) a couple times a day all this week, for turning the lights on for me in the evening, Laurie for organizing and cleaning the house, you guys for all kinds of things that helped, and just for you're love and concern. We love you.
Thank you everybody, your prayers help !!

Day 17, 10:30am
Hello friends, happy Saturday,
Anne has been sitting up in a recliner for the past couple hours.
She ate an entire order of scramblers (and ketchup), a great accomplishment, and it isn't causing her to run anywhere. She says she finally got some sleep around 5am.
She feels much better today. She has a concentrated potassium drip going because that count needs to go up. It is painful at the site of the IV, so she has a warm pack on her arm which helps.
I brought the cribbage board in for the weekend, and she is eager to put me to shame, as usual. Anne is also ordering me around pretty good, so things are definately looking up today.
A Dr Weisenberg is 'on this weekend' and she already visited Anne early in the morning. She stopped the Immodium and super Immodium (imodil), because of positive changes that happened overnight. She encourages us to walk more today, and she says to think of the diet as if Anne is lactose intolerant, temporarily.
At this rate, Anne will be able to restart treatments on Monday. Not that that is something to look forward to, but it is what Anne wants. Ironic that cancer requires treatment that makes folks so sick. When one comes available, a way to prevent the cancer will surely be a worthwhile thing, so that so many won't have to go thru this.
Anne is snoozing in the recliner as I type, and that is a wonderful thing. More later......Your prayers help !!
