Today started out on the wrong step; the driver was late picking up Jeri for her dialysis session, which put her in a funk and of course the dialysis always takes energy out of her so she sits very quietly for three hours while this process is done, however, her blood pressure stayed where it aught to be and of course her heart rate was right at 70 bpm. After that session we had to hurry back to the SDCH (South Davis Community Hospital) so she could get ready for her doctor's appointment; yes it was necessary to change her clothes. With all of the hurrying we just made it on time for the appointment and shortly we were invited into an exam room where we were conversed with a PA for quit a long time and she told us to do some things that we didn't think we should do so we didn't, however, she did give us some info that Lee already had and Lee had to bring her up to date; it is really good that Lee goes with these two 'old folks' and takes notes so we know what we are supposed to do. When we were through with the PA we were 'handed off' to a nurse that gave Jeri her chemo, which took almost an hour, and that includes the prep and the clean up. While the nurse was doing the chemo thing she took a blood sample and had it analyzed and the results were that her blood cells are almost where they aught to be, which was music to our ears; that reinforces Dr. Littons comment that the regimen is working on the Myeloma. Oh, by the way Terry was with us during the dialysis session and his presents was part of the things that pepped up Jeri.
It appears to me that all of our prayers are working so lets keep it up and get my sweetheart back home.
Oh, by the way, there is a rule that no one can comment on my spelling!!!

I am sorry about her not having a good day, but I am thrilled to hear about the blood cells! Hope today is a better day for her. :)
