Lowly

Steve started strong this weekend, attending Cooper's soccer game. (Go, Dolphins!) He was understandably tired when we returned home and rested while the kids and I went to a pumpkin patch birthday party. (Happy 3rd, Reese!) He started feeling queasy Saturday night and has been eating just a few bland foods and resting when he can ever since. He did help his brother celebrate his birthday this afternoon. (Happy 42nd, Uncle Jim!)

Steve will have his weekly blood draw Monday, and we'll get a good picture of his counts then. As always, we're praying for counts in range.

Sometimes when one of us is feeling low, we say something silly like, "I'm feeling like a worm with a hat and one shoe." We're alluding to Lowly Worm, a favorite Richard Scarry character. Here's hoping tomorrow is brighter and less lowly!

The cycle of ups and downs must be incredibly as the chemo does its work. You are completely and totally loved and prayed for, all 4 of you!
Blessings,
Debbie
