A few bumps along the way

Dwayne was home last week.  Early in the week, I was feeling overwhelmed at times with the largeness of what we are dealing with. Fighting a sinus infection did not help either. God sent encouragement to us as the week went on. The doctor's visit on Thursday was good. He was pleased that Dwayne's blood counts were high, and that other than the extreme fatigue, he is not experiencing any of the other side effects. On Thursday, I took him for a hair cut. Who needs a hair cut while they are on chemo? The gal who cuts my hair knew he could not get up the stairs at her shop, so she had us come to her house and did it there.

Two weeks ago, one of the men that Dwayne works with offered to mow our lawn. I told him that I would appreciate it, since neither Nathan or I do well with the pollen this time of the year.  Friday afternoon, not only Bob comes, but 10 other men, and one of their wives show up! They trimmed the trees, mowed and edged the lawn, mixed 15 bags of steer manure into the flower beds that have been sitting on the side yard for the past two months. The yard looks great. It was such a blessing!

Yesterday, Dwayne went back into the hospital. Round three will be today. Pray that it will do the job it is supposed to do and get rid of all the lesions. New MRI in three weeks.
