Hello everybody! Richard's Methotrexate level is down to 0.05 today, so he will be able to go home. He has to get 2 units of red blood cells today before he goes home. They infuse over 2 1/2 hours each so he will be here until later on today. Tomorrow, he will go to LGH to get his Neulasta shot, and Thursday, he will go and get a dose of Ara-C in his Omaya port.
He is feeling very tired - the doctors said the Ara-C (Cytarabine) is what is making him so tired, along with the low red blood cell count. He feels a bit nauseous, but nothing the meds haven't been able to handle. He's looking forward to going home and sleeping it off. He's already talking about what he wants to do during his "up" days again! Right now, though, all he wants to do is rest.
Thanks for your prayers!
Love, Daphne

Dear Richard & Daphne,
Good to hear you will be going home today. The hospital is not a place of rest and it sounds like both of you could use a good nights rest. We are hoping and praying you keep the schedule and are released today.
We had a good message this morning reminding us God is always in control and HE is the one that made the first step and showed his love in his Son’s action on the cross. It is good to be reminded GOD loved us first…
John 3:16-18
Darby Translation (DARBY)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.
17 For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.
18 He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
It is good to be reminded…
Who loves ya baby,
Carl & Darlene
Yeah! So happy you are home and resting. Half-way done - good work, Richard & Co.!
Prayers are unceasing; I know God is taking care of you and will see you through the 2nd half!
Rest up; I am sure Daphne has a "honey-do" list when you are feeling rested!
Lots of love coming your way,
Aunt Paula
