My leukemia's back.

Done deal eggs!

Okay, could use some prayers for peace...

Dr appt today. Liver tests look better. But, I saw a dip in my labs I didn't like. The Dr is Not Concerned, but that really doesn't help set my mind at ease. It was mostly my platelets, they've been steady in the 70s and were down in the 50s. My H and H dipped a touch, not huge but so did my neutrophil count. Again, it's not down much (I think it was 4.9 and now it's 3.8) and it's still well within normal. But, all taken together I just don't like it. So, had a good stress cry and a little talk with Jesus and am going to try not to freak out too much over the next week. Will recheck labs next Thursday, that seems forever away.

This is what sucks about remission, especially when you've relapsed before.

I am blaming you all for tonight's meal-chicken pot pie! Tried to use up the sour milk but didn't realize it curdled before putting it into the pan. Had to start over. But second try is really tasty and now baking in the oven. Now to figure out if I should freeze the rest of the pan without crust or with crust. Without means apple pie tomorrow. With means a meal done for the future.

Here is a rose for you all to enjoy:

It is just cool enough for it to come out. This one bush seems to enjoy the colder fall weather never blooming in the summer or spring.

Dear Jesus, Please give Rachel deep peace to trust you. Give her family ways to comfort her. Help her not to worry and remind her of how deep your love is and how strong a fortress your arms are for holding her.

HB, give that sour milk to the chickens. They'll eat it right up, and turn it into eggs.

Father, we gather to lift Rachel up to you. I ask that you comfort her as only you can do. Help her to rest in your care. Please give her family an extra dose of compassion and love to shower her with this week. And I pray that you will touch her, heal her, bring her blood counts back to a healthier number. We pray in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I haven't made egg-fu-yong in a long time. But, it's super easy to make, and makes for a nice easy meal.

 

[FridayYet]

Amen.

 

[Blooie]

And Amen!

Hi Rachel
Not much for giving prayers...so I'LL leave that to the experts (thank God we have some good ones).
I know you were a nurse...(that may be a disadvantage sometimes)...but I also know nobody always have perfect labs.
(And maybe the DRs told me that cuz I wasn't a nurse and they wanted me off their case)...either way I personally only got upset about white cell count and Basil cell count (not sure if that is correct spelling).
All others seemed to bounce around quite a bit...I used to get transfusions (platelets I believe)...and gamma goblin (I know I just murdered that word) often....the only up side was the Demerall (again spelling is atrocious) they gave me with it....anyway Rachel don't panic...hold on...take a deep breath...you are here today and the Dr's aren't worried that is all and all a good thing...you'll be in my thoughts and prayers...Phil

Hey, Rachel,

we are all here doing our thing.

 

[LittleLakePhil]

I think we should all say a prayer for Paris...

 

[3goodeggs]
