Who are we - con't

I'm having mechanical difficulties and it posted my last blog before I was finished!

We are in a different room this time, a completely different wing. It's nice to see everything at a different angle and have a new perspective. I'm hoping and praying we will coast thru this round of chemo. We did find out that's Jeff's white count dropped dramatically overnight after just the first dose of chemo. He is neutropenic which means he can't be around anyone who is sick, or might be getting sick. Lots of hand washing and masks. Yuck!

I have a uplifting moment to share. I got to go to Gracies first jr high basketball game last night and sat with some wonderful ladies. We talked about Jeff and how tough chemo is but how brave he is. I made the comment that we wanted to meet the person that has taken all six rounds of this kind of chemo and shake his hand. My friend Connie said, "You're about to. Jeff is going to be that guy and everyone is going to want to shake his hand." I love a different perspective!! I just told Jeff that story and it made him smile. He is proud to be that guy and he would love to tell someone facing this kind of chemo his story. And for the first time I saw in his face that he is going to do this. As long as his body can take it, his mind is strong enough to bear it.

I hope this blog seemed more hopeful today. We're trying!

Lots of love,
Jeff and Leta
