Chemo side effects have kicked in and Elizabeth needed it all...2 units of blood and platelets. We're both just so grateful to be home with family and friends and it makes these little "bumps in the road" of cancer life so much more tolerable. (Of course we were so grateful to be with family and friends in Seattle too, but it was time to be home.) Elizabeth's back has been painfullly miserable as it heals from radiation, but I think we finally found the right fit for bandaging (after trying pretty much everything) and it seems like it's starting to get better. Noteworthy today is that Elizabeth WALKED into the hospital. She's not totally steady, so I kept her crutches in hand as I walked next to her, but she made it without them. It wore her out, but it's very exciting progress! Dave and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend the wedding celebration of our niece last night. It was a wonderful occasion, both for my niece and her new husband, but also for Dave and I to be with extended family as well. Everyone is so supportive and loving and I am so grateful for the faith, prayers and concern of our amazing family! It means everything! We keep you all in our prayers as well. The nurse just hung Elizabeth's last unit of blood, so we should be home in time for dinner. Horray!
