Went to the Pumpkin Patch-10/21

Hi All, As you see we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. The kids enjoyed the time. The girls ran all the way up the hill behind us. Larry went to rescue Josh half way up and I took some pictures from down below. It was about time to update the picture.

Last week my platelets were low, so I was not able to do chemo. They counted that as my week off. So yesterday things had recovered. However my reds were a little low but not too low to treat. So I was able to do a chemo. Dr. Rigberg said that even though I have not been able to do three treatments each week only two. That either way, if I do two or three this time, they will still study me at the end of this cycle of treatments. So around middle November they well do some more scans and see where I am at now. I am praying for dramatic improvements.

My home care nurse (she comes weekly to change out stuff from my picc line.) noticed that my heart rate was elevated and said to keep an eye on it. Normal is 60-100 beats per minute while resting. My had been consistently up close to or over 100. I brought it too the Dr's attention and he said a number of things could contribute to that. All my surgeries on my lungs, the low red count and other things I can't remember. So maybe that is just how I am now. So we are going to just keep an eye on it. I will keep praying that it gets back to a healthy normal.

Thanks again ever so much for checking in on me. It really means so much that people care. I know we all have busy lives and it's hard to think of one more things. I appreciate every single prayer sent to Jesus. He is my healer!!

Love to all, Peggy

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! When God created you He knew the plans of all these years. He knows what will happen and He Loves you!!! I will continue to pray for your relationship with Him to grow stronger, mightier, closer than you ever could have imagined. I pray He fills your heart with so much of Him that there will be no room left for pain or sadness or focus of illness! I am so thrilled you went to a pumpkin patch with your family in the midst of your daily struggles, you just keep doing what your heart desires and God Will provide what you need to do it. We will pray for dramatic improvement in November! Peggy you are an amazing, strong (even when you don't feel strong) Godly woman and He is storing so many treasures for you and your family, you have much to look forward to one day when we will all be together with Him!!!!
For now hug, kiss, hold and treasure that incredible family He has given you!!!!!

Sounds like it has been a challenging week for you my friend. It is so hard to wait...to wait for tests, to wait for results, to wait to feel better, to wait for strength to return, waiting to feel better. Man, waiting patiently is just not something that comes easy to any of us.

Also hard is the not knowing...is it growing again, is it shrinking, am I getting better, am I getting worse?

But, some things still come easy. The brilliant smile on the face of your child when she does something to make YOU feel better. A quick hug for no reason. Last week's AMAZING moon. A giggle at bedtime. Saying a prayer for a blessing that you didn't even realize was a blessing. (PICC lines are a BLESSING!)

You keep praying my dear, and so will I. Love you!

We (Tricia and I) keep reading Peg!!!! What I really appreciate is that in spite of the fact that life isn't going the way you want it, you are still serving the Lord. That offers me a great picture for myself to follow when life doesn't work out the way I want it too.....
All my best,
Casey
