9th day of Chemo- 1 to go
Well- Sheryl started losing her hair 2 days ago. Also, her face looks like she just had her wisdom teeth pulled - but talking to her you would never know she even has a problem. She has written so much in her journal that I have to keep replacing her pens. She has truly created a sacred environment in her 7 X 8 room. Her room with the 1 glass wall is extremely quiet other than when the sweet nurses come and check in on the 2 IV's or wanting to learn some English.
Sheryl spends all day long and even into the night in her scriptures- journal- and praying. I so desperately want to hold her and go for walks with her- but I have to be patience because she will be in the box for another 30 days and then in the hospital for observation for another 30 days.
Her red blood count yesterday was 3.0 goal is 3.0 to 1.5
White blood is 1.5 goal is 0.5
So Wednesday back home, November 22, (Thanksgiving day here) she will be reborn physically. I challenge any and all to make that a day of rebirth spiritually and celebrate God's mercy and love to all of us.
We feel so blessed at the wonderful season- a season of Thanksgiving!!! For we are all truly blessed in the trials that we are faced with.
Well I need to go find some Chinese food for Sheryl for lunch. The only food she seems to eat or want is Chinese!!!! Ha Ha (No other options)
We love you all,
The Chengdu connection: Lon & Sheryl
