Well it is Sunday evening and I am back in Little Rock. Barb is really doing well. She will finish the 7 day Chemo Tues. evening. She has had one unit of platelets and probably won't need more till Tues. She looks great and is in good spirits. When I got here we did her exercises, (me too, and I can feel the stretch as much as she does! ) Even though they are simple ones, like leg lifts sitting and standing, toe curls and tip toe calf stretch. I had brought my EHC "Strong Women" exercises for us to do, then the physical therapy guy brought a pamphlet by that was very similar. She also walks 3 and 4 times per day making large circles around the floor. She is prone to blood clots so it is very important to keep moving. I know our cousin Angie will be proud us!!!!
I ask that you pray for continue strength, energy, and encouragement! As her blood counts fall into the negative side pray she will not get too sick, that God will sustain her through this as only He can!
Psalm 119:116 NLT LORD, Sustain me as you promised, that I may live! Do not let my hope be crushed.
