LOU'S ROSY CHEEKS AND CA125

Lou got up this morning with rosy cheeks from the chemo. In the past she had a red nose but it is her cheeks this time. They normalized as the day went on. She is eating much better and had a whole piece of toast with her Cheerios this morning. She ate some left-over soup that Cherry brought for lunch with a toasted cheese on bread plus some ice cream for dessert. A new therapist came while we were eating and really helped Lou exercise her legs and talked her into getting her legs up to drain the fluid that is building up. Since she got her comfortable recliner she has been napping sitting up rather than lying on the couch with her feet on a couple of pillows. The therapist said she should lie with her feet up twice a day, so this afternoon nap was on the couch.

Dr. Hancock's office called with a better CA125 report. It was down to 344 from the 425 which is good news. Still a long way to go but going in the right direction. This chemo is seems to be improving her appetite and she is eating better.

Your prayers seem to be helping!
Thanks.
