It’s been a busy week but we’ll write more soon. Val’s feeling better every day, although it’s tiresome to get better every cycle and then be knocked back down the exact same ways every time, only more so. She had bloodwork today that indicates her neutrophils are as low as they’ve been, somewhere in the 600’s, so she’s being extra cautious about exposure to anyone potentially infectious. We compared pulses tonight and hers is racing along at almost twice the speed of mine, as her heart works hard to push her oxygen-weak red blood cells madly around her body. But she feels much less crappy, her energy’s gone up considerably since the beginning of the week, and she worked much of Thursday and Friday.
Thanks for the many kind things folks have done for us lately, from making dinners to building us a backyard gate to sending us to the opera. We’ll report more on those soon.
