First, I apologize for the gap in the updates. I try to post something each day but occasionally get distracted.
On Friday, Monica had her blood tested again at a local lab. The results don't come as quickly through the private lab as they do when we go to Cancer Agency. We didn't get the results until today. Apparently, Monica's platelets have improved a reasonable amount and the neutrophils have improved a little. However, apparently her hemoglobin is low (this would explain why she is tired and low in energy). The nurse practitioner has scheduled another blood test for Friday. She says that they may have to consider a regular blood transfusion.
The weekend was fairly quiet and for the most part uneventful. Jesse and his girlfriend returned from their vacation late Saturday. Sounds like an exciting (but tiring) trip. We had Monica's brother, Ingo, over for dinner on Saturday. It was his birthday on Saturday, mine on Sunday and Oma's on Tuesday. On Sunday we all went to Oma's and had some black forest cake that had been given to Ingo (It was delicious even though in my heart I know it wasn't organic.) .
We've had some visitors. On Sunday, Scott and Cathy dropped in for visit. On Monday, our friends Liz and Tony dropped in for a visit and brought some hand-picked organic blueberries.
Monica is still quite tired today ( a couple of naps and sleep-in) but her spirits seem pretty good and she is fastidiously following the InsprieHealth supplement program.
