Round One

Nonnie received her first chemotherapy treatment last night and feels surprisingly well today. Prior to the chemotherapy, she received 2 units of fresh blood which raised her hemoglobin count. In turn, this gives her the much needed energy to help her battle. The anti-nausea medication seems to be working rather well, as she has not felt any signs of sickness from the aggressive treatment. At 8:00 tonight, she will get her second dose of Idamycin.

When I spoke with Papa late this afternoon, they were getting ready to take a walk around the floor. The reward for getting out of bed is the beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Ladies, you are going to love this one........ she was actually applying her lipstick prior to going for their walk! God forbid anyone seeing her without her lips on. You gotta love this woman.

    You look as beautiful as ever. I wish you a speedy recovery. You have such a wonderful family and support system; and, I am sure the best hospital and facility that can take care of you. I sent KK the blog so you might hear from her. Please give us all an address so we can send you some cheerful cards to make you smile and laugh. Love always,

  3. By the way, WAY TO GO JEFF ON THIS BLOG. What a wonderful job you have done and thank you for making it so we can all keep progress on Linda, and David too! I know she needs her rest, but we want her to know that we are thinking of her, and what a perfect way for her to read these at her leisure.
