Moving Forward

Hi,
Things are feeling pretty good. I'm needing platelets regularly and blood every few weeks but that's expected. My counts are not fab- the white counts are still low and I'm still without an immune system BUT, my blasts are gone from regular blood tests and that was the big goal. I've been seeing a lot of the kids and the grandkids which has been a wonderful gift. We are in the throes of the birthday month so- they have to see me!
James continues to be fantastic. You never know who you've married until a shit storm happens. I will say, he's always been a keeper. My friends Silvia and Joe stayed over for a visit and it was great. I've always heard it's important to have social contact when you are ill but I get the real importance of it. When good friends are around, you rise to the occasion. Then, you're there. You've risen. That helps keep you up. So 
that's what I've learned. 
This morning I ordered bulbs for planting this Fall. James will do most of the work and I will reap the benefit! Our goal is to plant the bulbs now (Fall) and in the Spring, after the transplant and recovery, sit on the front porch with the grandkids and marvel at their beauty.  Good goal. While Silvia was here, I asked her to photograph the fam. She is S. Florida's most beloved photographer, as you know. Isn't Rowan a spiffy dresser??
