LITERARY AND CHEMO WEEK
This has been a great week. It rained which is always a blessing. Tuesday Judith Keeling brought the new director of the Texas Tech Press, Robert Mandell to visit with Lou. They came about 2 p.m. with a hot peach cobbler from Abilene. We shared that with coffee and had a good visit on the status of publishing in Texas. They had a meeting that night at the Abilene Country Club with Bill Wright who had invited Don Frazier and Bob Page to discuss a book using Wright's photos. Wish I could have heard that conversation. We got 1.4" of rain Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday was infusion chemo in Fort Worth again. We met Mark, Mary Kathryn and her mother, Mary, at Joe's Pasta and Pizza on Hulen Avenue for really good pasta dishes. Lou had baked Zita and I had spinach lasagne. MK then went with us for the chemo session. It went well with the steroids helping out. Lou was feeling good enough the next morning to walk to the front gate and back. She has a red nose but was able to walk again this morning. It has been a beautiful day but we both wore heavy coats. I think my thermometer down in the creek bottom is off. It read 32 this morning. We had 53 up at the house. No wind so it was comfortable.
Lou is reading C. S. Lewis MERE CHRISTIANITY along with her morning Bible reading and we discussed that as we walked. We need to get our atheist friends to read it. He was an atheist and discusses their viewpoint in the book. She is also reading PALACE COUNCIL. She got to discuss it some with Judith who gave us the book. I am almost through with TWELVE AMAZING ORPHANS by Jim Dent and Waring was right it is a great read particularly as we face a possible depression once more.
The bad news came this morning. The CA125 is up to 355 and Dr. Hancock will change the protocol next visit. We continue to need your prayers.
