PLEASE VISIT OUR BEAUTIFUL HOSTESS, BEVERLY AThttp://howsweetthesound.blogspot.com or CLICK ON TO THE PINK SATURDAY
BUTTON I HAVE IN THE RIGHT HAND COLUMN. NOT ONLY WILL IT
TAKE YOU TO BEVERLY'S BLOG BUT YOU WILL FIND A LIST OF TALENTED,
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO LOVE AND ADORE THE COLOR PINK.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL BLOOM OF MY CHRISTMAS CACTUS THAT HAS BLOOMED IN
FEBRUARY, MARCH, AND NOW APRIL. I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WHITE ONE ALSO.
THEY ARE BOTH OVER FIVE YEARS OLD, AND ALTHOUGH THEY PRODUCE
BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS...USUALLY IN DECEMBER...THEY HAVE NEVER BLOOMED
THREE MONTHS IN A ROW. I THINK GOD KNEW I NEEDED SOME BEAUTY
IN MY LIFE. I PRAY AFTER LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE, IT IS MY PICTURE
AND NOT ONE A FRIEND SENT. MY LIFE HAS BEEN SO CRAZY I WOULDN'T
SWEAR TO ANYTHING TODAY.
THIS HAS BEEN A ROUGH DAY....A ROUGH COUPLE OF DAYS. WE HAD STORMSAND HAIL...LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING BUT WE SHUT THE COMPUTER
DOWN DURING STORMS AND THEN THE COMPUTER WAS ACTING UP AND I
HAVE TO SHARE IT WITH MY HUSBAND WHO PLAYS CIVILIZATION ON IT...HE
DOES NOT ALWAYS PLAY NICE.....LOL......FIRST ONE TO THE COMPUTER GETS
IT.
PLEASE PRAY FOR AMY. I STARTED GIVING HER THE SHOT NEUPOGEN 480
ON WEDNESDAY. IT IS TO BUILD YOUR WBC'S UP. NORMALLY WHEN YOU
TAKE NEUPOGEN INJECTIONS YOUR WHITE COUNT CAN SHOOT UP 18.....WHICH
IS A FALSE HIGH.
AMY'S WHITE COUNT WAS LOW TO START WITH WHEN CHEMO BEGAN BUT
THEY HAD TO START BECAUSE OF HOW AGGRESSIVE THE CANCER IS.
ON FRIDAY MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK HER IN TO THE CLINIC FOR LAB WORK.
ON FRIDAY HER WHITE COUNT...AFTER RECEIVING 3 NEUPOGEN 480 INJ.........
WAS 1.86...........NORMAL IS 4.30-11.0
HER NEU WHICH IS BABY WBC WAS 1.52 81.9%N
NORMAL IS 2.30-7.70 59.0-73.0%N
HER PLATELETS WHICH CLOT THE BLOOD WAS 91.5
NORMAL IS 150.-375.
SO WHAT DR. DEXEUS ORDERED WAS AN ADDITIONAL INJECTION OF
NEUPOGEN 300..............THEY GAVE HER THE ADDITIONAL 300 IN THE
OFFICE AS I HAD GIVEN HER THE 480 BEFORE WE WENT..........AND THEN
TODAY I HAD TO GIVE HER TWO SHOTS OF NEUPOGEN TOTALING 780......THE
SAME TOMORROW AND BACK TO THE DR. ON MONDAY FOR LAB WORK.
DR. DEXEUS ALSO ORDERED CIPRO TWICE A DAY FOR 4 DAYS FOR EXTRA
PROTECTION.
WHEN AMY RECEIVES NEUPOGEN INJECTIONS SHE ACHES ALL OVER LIKE
SHE HAS THE FLU. WHEN HER PLATELETS ARE LOW HER BACK HURTS
HER VERY MUCH. SHE THOUGHT SHE MIGHT LIKE MUSHROOM CHICKEN
WITH LO MIEN NOODLES......SHE ATE ABOUT 3 NOODLES. THE CHEMO CAUSES
SORES IN THE MOUTH. SHE GETS UP AND TRIES SO HARD TO SET AND VISIT
BUT SHE REALLY JUST TAKES HOT SHOWERS AND PAIN PILLS AND TRIES TO
SLEEP......AND IS NEVER AWAY FROM HER BLACKBERRY.
THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL SOULS WHO LEFT HAPPY PINK SATURDAY
POSTS ON MY YELLOW POST.....YOU ARE THE GREATEST. I HAVE FOUND
SOME AMAZING BLOGGING FRIENDS.
BLESSINGS TO EACH ONE OF YOU
MAY YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK

TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR
A HUG FROM MY DAUGHTER AMY
A HUG FROM HER GREAT DANE GRACIE
WATCHING MY HUSBAND PRE-TIE TIES FOR MY SON WHO IS LEAVING
MONDAY ON A 5 DAY BUSINESS TRIP TO IOWA....PLEASE PRAY FOR
HIS SAFETY GOING AND COMING
THE RAIN AND EVEN THE HAIL WAS PRETTY SINCE IT DID NO DAMAGE
TO SPEAK OF
I got a good LOL out of "watching hubby pre-tie ties for son's business trip." Wouldn't it save A LOT of time to just teach son to tie his own??? I have mental images of hubby teaching our oldest son to do so. Don't know if the youngest one can do it or not, but he doesn't use them much in this college stage of his life.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of when I read, "I am late", was the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland☺
ReplyDeleteI remember when my mom was so sick, I'd go to visit with her (I lived 250 miles away) and would cook and cook and cook. Whatever she mentioned she was hungry for, I would cook just hoping that she would eat more than just a little bit. The last thing I cooked for her was my Onion Soup. She really loved my onion soup. Gee, tears are filling my eyes...doesn't take much...mom died in 1983...the pain is still at the surface...sorry.
I know what it's like to see a mother so, so sick. I can't even begin to imagine a child feeling so ill. My heart breaks for you.
Amy will be in my prayers, including everyone who loves her.
As an aside, did you know you can do your Pink Saturday post any day and just set it to post on the day and time you choose? If you need a little help to do this, just let me know.
Amy, I am so sorry for your pain. I promise prayers for your daughter and for you also. Sometimes we start to feel sorry for ourselves, until we see what crosses in life other people are enduring. You are a beautiful inspiration of a faith filled woman/mother. I am sending you a huge cyber hug! ((((( HUG)))))

What a terribly rough time. It reminds me of my aunt on my mother's side. Mary had breast cancer that metastisized into her hip bone. The treatments were like torture, chemo and radiation, she got so tiny we felt she could not go on, but she never thought that, kept fighting and taking the terrible chemicals, when she had to go on TPN we felt the end was near, the cancer was insanely aggressive, but no, she began so slowly to get stronger, stronger, stronger, she beat it. During the treatment, though, it was like walking for years in a dark tunnel and tripping over things, it was like being on another planet, and yet others were just going about their business with no idea of her life and ours, but finally we all could walk out of that tunnel and into the free air.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas cactus sure is pretty. I have never heard of one bloom so much, surely it is a sign.
I am so glad you had those beautiful blooms on your CHRISTMAS CACTUS ...it hope brightens up your days....you have had so much going on you need beautiful flowers to cheer you up....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mo ;-)
Praying for your sweet daughter Amy...
ReplyDeleteAmy I am so sorry for all the pain that your daughter is in. I know that it is harder on you than it is her. We hate for our children to be sick.
ReplyDeleteBut I can pray for you and her that God will heal her. We know that healing has to come from him. I do know that you are hurting and I feel so bad for you.Remember I am here if you just need a friend to talk to.
I will continue to check in on you while your husband is away.Just fall to your knees and ask God to take some of this pain from you.
First time to visit in awhile but I know God send me to your blog.
Love and prayers
Vikki
Debbie, I'm late getting around to read posts. I guess Amy has been to the Dr. today. I hope all of her readings were much better. I'm so sorry she is having so much pain, and I can only imagine how difficult that is on you to see it. Still praying for you and yours. Love the Christmas cactus, and I think it is blooming to give you some much needed beauty. laurie
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family have been reserved in my home. I love the Christmas Cactus and all the pink! Stay Well! There are angels watching over you.
ReplyDeletesending prayers! HUGS!!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThankyou so very much for the comforting words you left for me about my Grandma...it means a lot to me. :)
I also was comforted to read your post for this pink saturday.
Hugs & Blessings,
Katherine
I am praying for your daughter and the people on your post, may the Lord lay his hands upon them and bless them.
ReplyDeleteHi dearest,
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a rocking chair big enough to hold our loved ones and rock their pains and heartaches away. The Lord's hand is mighty enough to bless all and give comfort when needed.
