We're grateful that we were able to attend the pre-Thanksgiving family get together in Fairfield Glade, TN.
We returned the 400 +- miles on Thanksgiving Day.
Several places were open for breakfast along the Interstate but only Cracker Barrel open around noon.
As expected, the blood labs Friday morning at the hospital oncology out patient unit and at the Doctor's office on Tuesday of this week indicated I needed a Platelet infusion.
With my blood counts still super low from the high powered Chemo that was done 4 weeks ago and usually lasts at least 6 weeks, the Oncology Doctor decided yesterday NOT to proceed with round 2 but wait until the numbers come up some.
He'll probably do another Bone Marrow Biopsy to see just how effective round 1 was before deciding what might the next step.
In the meantime, we're thrilled that I've not had the nighttime temperature spikes on the trip nor since returning home.
It is good to be able to be home even with the various trips for blood labs, infusions, etc.
So we're still taking life one day at a time as we experience the roller coaster adventure of Acute Leukemia.
Have a Joyous Christmas Season.
