Welcome

 Hi,

James has this practice of saying "welcome" to whatever comes up- good or bad. So, we have been saying "your welcome"  a lot! I was admitted to the hospital Monday night after a reaction to a platelets infusion. I settled down and everything was ok. The docs went nuts with tests because this is not a good time to have an infection or whatnot. So, I have been in since Monday night. Today I was suppose to start the trial but I heard this morning that the drug makers were concerned and thought because of the holidays we should start next Monday. So that would be two weeks of spinning my wheels. But then they green lighted it and I have the medication right in front of me. It's two days of a known drug (that I have had before) and the trial drug starts on Fri, when the hospital is fully staffed, etc. So......WELCOME!

I have been working on my book for this semester's sabbatical and I have given it to my friend and colleague, Fenella Belle, to proofread and to James. I've been working on it a while and I feel good about it.

We are still organizing Let There Be Light (long-distance) and staying very busy. 

I hope you are all having a SAFE Thanksgiving. James and I will be eating together via Zoom. 

My friend and Energy Worker, Ana Blum told me this week that "Healing is Imminent". That's how I am feeling too.  

I've been in touch with my sons, daughter-in- laws and grandkids. That helps to bond me to the feature and feel very thankful for the present.

Take care and stay safe,

Beryl

We are here

Hi,

We have settled in. I may or may not be admitted into the hospital tomorrow, depending on my counts. Either way, I'm ready and trusting things will unfold as they should. The flights here were crazy. There was no social distancing and the planes were packed! This trial requires that I come back here every 2 weeks (10 days really). We are considering just staying. They'll know if it's working within a few months. We'll see. James and I can both work from here and we really can't see the kids without waiting 14 days so..... We'll see.

It is so like Miami here that it feels like home (where James and I grew up). We planted about 200  bulbs before we left for Texas. That's going to be VERY pretty!

More soon,

Beryl

 

Back to Texas

 Hi,

So my blasts are very high and some of my other counts are wack.  I will be headed back to Texas to start trial #4. James will be joining me, of course. I have no details at all. I speak with the doc tomorrow (hopefully). When I know more, I will share. In the meantime here are some halloween pics. Thomas was Totero (from My Neighbor Totero) and Hannah was one of the little creatures from the same film. James and I were Mario and Luigi. Rowan was a red fox. She was a little weirded out by us!

Take care,

Beryl
