Monday May Have Been A Sign

So far so good.  I'm almost afraid to mention it but since Joe's chemo treatment on Monday, he has done very well.  No fevers thus far that have surpassed the 99 mark and he has pretty much done all his normal activities: piano lessons, choir practice, staff meeting, a little shopping and even a trip to Costco.  Now you know if he can make it to Costco he is a happy camper!  

We are both very excited that Joe's brother and his wife, Bill and Sandy, are coming to town today.  They are scheduled to arrive at 4pm and Joe is picking them up at RDU Int'l Airport.  It's so nice having the airport 10 minutes away.  Even if on time, it will probably be between 4:30-5pm before they get to the house.  I should be home from work by 5:15 and can't wait to see them.  However their last visit was marred by Joe's first hospitalization.  That's not happening this time!  I will do whatever is necessary to stay away from the Duke Emergency Department.  That shouldn't be too difficult to do since Joe managed to lose the thermometer.  He managed to do so without even getting off the couch too.  It boggles my mind how you can lose something without moving....but he can, and did.  But alas, my office is next to a pharmacy so I bought a new one.  Apparently they don't roll out new models of thermometers every year like cars.  We had the old one, before Joe lost it, for at least 7 years and the new one is just like the old one.  Who knew?

Last spring, Joe and I purchased a memorial brick to go in front of PGUMC.  Lo and behold, last night at choir practice, the bricks were in. Of course I had to take a photo.  There we are, memorialized!!

Our wedding anniversary on a brick! Isn't that romantic? Hehehehe

Anyway, the most important thing is that Joe has made it to Thursday without ill effects from this round of chemo.  Fingers are crossed that it continues through the weekned.  We are back at the Duke Cancer Center bright and early Monday morning for 6:40am labs again. WooHoo!  (fake excitement)

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend.  Thank you for the caring and the prayers.  Our friends are the best!
