Chris had his second bone marrow biopsy today. Preliminary results should be in Friday. The results will help our team decide how to proceed. WBC is at 14.1 today, pretty good jump from yesterday’s 9.5! Chris said it best when he said he is the healthiest sick guy ever! They ask him if he has diabetes, high cholesterol, smokes, etc. He doesn’t have any other health problems! For me, that is what still makes this so unbelievable. I guess his “good health” will help him in the days and months to come.
Our daughter Jan, brought my Mom-in-law down today to see Chris. I think his Mom needed to see him and see that he was doing okay! I’m not sure she understood why we were moving his care down here. I’m glad she was able to see him!
Today was pretty chilly. The sun was shining though, so Chris and I were able to sit in the sun for a while. A simple pleasure that I didn’t appreciate before. Do you appreciate the simple pleasures in your life? I hope you do! I hug my honey but he is thin and weak. I kiss him through my mask. We walk and hold hands, he use to hold me up and now I have to always be ready to help him. He simply wants to sleep in his bed. It’s been almost 4 weeks since he has seen our home let alone our bed. I love and appreciate my husband of 40+ years! Best husband I could have ever asked for!

Chris, When I was leaving the hospital from major surgery and going into rehab your son-in-law and my son met in the elevators face to face there they exchanged stories…. They didn’t want to tell me about Chris until my healing began…. When they finally told me I began to pray for Jesus Christ who carries your name everyone’s Christos especially his MAMA, his Patti, Jan and her fanily, Spiro and his family, and many brothers and sisters and their fanilies, and many friends.. Please God hear my prayer and give Chris to the many family and friends who need him, please give him the strength to pull through all the medicine and treatments so he may go back to all that LOVE HIM… I Believe in Miracles Jesus Christ Almighty God, please perform one for everyone’s Christos in your beloved name Jesus Christ Almighty God. +Amen, Amen, Amen 💖💖💖
