Sept. 10 Day +56

Psalm 113:1-5 "Praise the Lord. Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forever. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens."

We were awakened this morning to the sound of demolition at 6:30 am. There are 2 buildings being torn down near our apartment and they really get started early. They are also stirring up a lot of dust so she has to wear her mask if she goes out of the building.

Becky received a call this morning from the hospital saying that next Wed. she would have lab at 9 am a 4 hour IV infusion after that and then see the Nurse Practitioner. We were a little unsure of what was going on since the NP had said all the blood work was good yesterday. She called the NP and finally got a call back from her. She explained they had done a test, that we didn't know about, that measured her immune system and it is suppose to be about 700 and hers was only 349, so she needs some immunoglobulin which will help boost her immune system. Since they wiped out her immune system she will be real susceptible to any infection and with cold and flu season coming on, this will help her hopefully avoid any illnesses. She will receive one a month for 6 months but can get them in Springfield once she goes home. Becky is willing to do anything necessary to stay as healthy as possible.

This afternoon we went to the grocery store for a few items that we needed and she pushed the cart. Of course we washed the bar good with a Clorox Wipe before she started pushing. We didn't need too much so she did OK but headed to the car while I checked out. She really did well and I enjoyed the company in the store.

We got back and settled in for some tennis on TV. We have enjoyed watching it this past 2 weeks. As you can tell, we spend most of our time watching sports of all kind on TV. There's a football game coming on now so a new season begins!!

Continue to pray for strength for Becky each day and also for patience as she's getting anxious to get home.

Love,
Becky and Barb
