The best thing about this week is that it went by quickly and it's over! It was scattered and all over the place. I hate those weeks. Jeff is having trouble keeping down food and liquid. His dr is in India for two weeks and we feel a little naked out in a breeze. There is a doctor on call but there have been a couple of miscommunications. That tends to happen when you are VERY ill and your dr is in India! It just meant we got to drive to Amarillo a lot this week for blood tests and dr visits. Jeff was dehydrated and got IV fluids on Tuesday. Thursday blood test indicated that his platelets are very low but not low enough for a transfusion. And since it is now the weekend we have to go to the ER if he starts to bleed because he won't be able to stop. Yuck! Who wants to go to the ER? There are sick people there. Praying that he can wait till Monday!
Other complaints: Jake and I need our nightmares to stop. Do you think it's Halloween stuff or the fact that some things in our life are real and scary?
Luke's football team lost last night and he's pretty down about it. This season has been a challenge for a lot of different reasons. It's a very young team with no seniors. Luke wants to do well and beats himself up when he messes up and feels he's let his team down. I'm sure he's not the only teenage boy that feels that way. But I know Luke feels especially low. That is such a tough part of parenting. Jeff and I agonize over how his cancer effects the kids. We try to keep everything as normal as possible which is ironic considering nothing is normal right now.
That is the end of my complaining for today. We got a beautiful, unexpected, wet, slushy snow Wednesday night and most of the day Thursday. It won't end out drought but it will make a difference in our wheat crop. Like maybe we might have one now. It made Jeff happy. Things are super muddy out here on the farm. My car will never be the same! But I'm not complaining!
Still in the game,
Jeff and Leta
