Onward

Jeff is finally asleep after a restless night and day. He describes the feeling as having the flu. Headache, body aches and fever. His one wish is for a hot bath. But that will have to wait until we get home. Only showers here. He had some great visitors today. I noticed that he was in the conversations at first but then loses strength and gets quiet. He says he loves to sit and listen to the happy chatter around him but not have to participate. Distractions are always welcome. His brother Ron visits everyday. They are two social peas in a pod. Quiet but always listening. Loyal to the end. Brotherly love is a strong bond. Certainly stronger than cancer.

Jeff's hemoglobin dropped overnight and he will probably have to get blood this week. I'd like to offer up a humble thanks to all the people out there that donate blood. It is truly a wonderful life giving gift. Many thanks!

The blizzard missed us, thankfully. Just a little snow and cold. We are tucked into our little room wrapped up in our special quilts. Our room is decorated with little trees, a country snowman and lots of Christmas lights. Our kids are out of school and I hope they get to visit their Daddy tomorrow. All we need now is sweet dreams.

Merry Christmas,
Jeff and Leta
