Trip to Omaha...

Before the holiday weekend, figured I'd send a quick update. Our trip to Omaha proved to be another successful day. My labs were better than I had expected – hemoglobin and platelets were almost in the normal range! Dr. Vose seemed pleased with my progress and decided that I didn't need the CT. (I'm not disappointed to have avoided that radiation). Another 3 months before I'll need to go back – maybe the flood waters will be down by then! I've felt ok as of late. Still a little bit of burning from the shingles and the stomach continues to have it's ups and downs, but nothing that's kept me from going to work and doing what I need to do. I pray that my endurance continues to improve. (slow and steady wins the race). Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend! As for me, I'll be spending it with family.
