These past few days have been really great for Andrea. She came home from the hospital on Thursday and she has been feeling pretty good since she came home. She has had only one close call for nausea since then. She did, however, keep it under control and did not throw up. She had some stomach issues in the hospital and those seem to be clearing up. She also had a great deal of pain in the hospital due to her neupogen injections and that pain seems to have gone away. Also, her count is still rising. She is still a bit weak physically, but she is taking as many walks as possible and trying to get her physical health back.
Today, Mr. Taylor came to visit Andrea. Andrea and her family went to a nearby farmer's market. Then, we all went for a nice brunch in Chicago. Later, she relaxed in her garden, in her hammock, and watched a movie with me. Tonight we will be eating dinner and watching another movie. Altogether, a good relaxing day for her. She will be starting her next round on chemotherapy on Monday. So, these past few days and this weekend is exactly what she needed. Hopefully, her next round will go smoothly and she will be back home in no time.

Well Sweet Lady--It's been a very long haul for you. Bill and I have been thinking of you and all your family every day this summer. We are so glad we have access to your blog now. I'm trying to read the past accounts of your treatments and it sounds though you are rounding the bend. Going to the market, brunch and hanging out in your garden seem like a great day and much needed! I'll be thinking of you Monday and through the week. Keep the faith and know you are very much loved by many.

Hey Andrea! I'm glad you've had some time to relax; nothing beats a day in a hammock. I'm sitting in my first day of classes and already kind of bored (two hours of con-law starting @ 6pm!. I just transferred to IU-indy. It's nice to be out of Ohio; it wasn't really much fun at all. I hope Julie and I will be up in Chicago sometime soon after labor day! I Love you and am so happy that things are going relatively well. Talk to you soon!
