Well, let's just say that things really pick up around here on a Monday! The food is even a little better - more choice, less soggy! Richard's still sleeping, and I'm eyeing up that cinnamon coffee cake on his tray! ...Just kidding. I already started on his coffee though...he ordered that for me.
There's not much going on today. Richard's getting his last bag of chemo this morning. Then, all we have to do is wait for his Methotrexate level to drop below 0.05. They will being drawing blood this morning and test results are expected this afternoon. If the level's below 0.05, he can go home tonight. If not, he has to wait and get another lab drawn this afternoon if it's close, or if it's not close, in the morning again.
That's about it for now. In the meantime, I need to get back and make sure Richie is drinking lots and lots of liquid. The more he drinks, the faster that methotrexate works out of his system, and the faster he can get out of here!
Hugs, Daphne

Leave it to a Greek to come up with a great one-liner as "Who loves ya baby!"....
Next time a roommate gets too loud- break out that white girlie pitch-pipe and start singing "Moppin' up soda pop rickies..." (What is a sopa pop rickie, anyway?) OR you can tell them if they don't stop the racket, you will bring in your friend the "Unitaper"!
Keep up your sense of humor, my friend, and look to the Lord for strength. My Dad sends his love, too and wants to know when you'll be up for a visit. Wow, two Drew's for the price of one!
All our love,
Drew & Family
So glad to hear this second round is just about finished. Hope all
blood levels are OK and Richard can get home to some good food! Glad you are able to be there with him, Daphne! Give him a hug for me!
Love, Aunt Paula
You know you have been in the hospital too long when the food starts to taste better… You need your Mom to let you taste real food again.
Love to all
Who loves ya baby, ( I didn’t know that was “geek”)

Hey Rich,
How is "Measure of a Man" going? I just gave it to a family friend as a birthday/retirement present. Several little birdies told me it was worth reading.
I hope he likes it. If he doesn't, I'm blaming you. ;)
Love ya! Now go home!! My best to your glam fam--
Julia
