Today was kind of an uneventful day which feels so good at this time the way things have been the last few weeks. Map platelet count yesterday was twenty-three and today's check was 21. I hope that means they're kind of holding their own and maybe they will soon start to go up. I don't have to go back to MIRT tomorrow. I get to take that day off but then we will have to go back Saturday and Sunday. Let me explain again what MIRT stands for in case you missed an explanation I made several blogs ago. It stands for Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy which is part of UAMS. UAMS is University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
I had to get an IV of magnesium today which increased my stay there for another 2 hours.
Thank you all for the really nice and wonderful comments you made. They are very uplifting. Reta appreciates them too.
Hi Jerry & Reta,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you had more of a relaxing day today. I spoke with Val this afternoon. The first thing she said was, "Have you heard from Jerry & Reta?" You both are near and dear to our hearts and we continue to keep you in our prayers.
Love you,
Joanie & Gary
Jerry and Reta, A day off will be a mini vacation for the both of you. Good to hear that your platelets are about the same. Think of you two so often every day and praying each day for you. Hugs, Darlene
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got a day off from all you've been going through. My oh my you deserve a little break!! Glad your platelets are holding & we'll continue to pray they go up!
ReplyDeleteOur boys ended up staying a week longer with their other grandparents so we have been back & forth with them enjoying each moment we can. Of course we have been feeling our age right along with the boys too!!! I think I could take a nap each day I get so worn out from staying busy with them!!😂😴
Love & prayers to you both!!
