Stephanie is in Las Vegas. Her friend from Kindergarten through junior high, Kristin, is celebrating her 21st birthday in Las Vegas with her parents, Cathy (my good friend) and Dave. Stephanie is going to stay at Michele’s house while she visits with the Egans, who were at our anniversary party – and are still our very good friends.
Now back to Fred. This week was non-chemo week (Monday is chemo #3). He got Neupogen shots all week to raise his white blood count. They were down to 3.2 and when he was tested after the 5 days of shots his WBC was 14.3. I think he does it on purpose, like lowering his blood pressure at will. He has really gone through his first two rounds of chemo without any discomfort. The Neupogen shots make his bones hurt like growig pains because the bones are busy making those white blood cells. He keeps twittering stuff like "I'm strong like ox." Steve called to check on Fred and was explaining to him how the liver gives out signs when it's not working well and all that. He's amazing and I will tell you all about their trip to USC next time, when I catch up on my old blogs (even though the Empress of the Blog told me I didn't have to catch up if I didn't wanna).
Tonight we are driving down to Coronado Island in San Diego to attend a dinner and auction to benefit MS. It's amazing how much I don't care about multiple sclerosis anymore. But it will be very fun. We're staying over at the hotel as well. Katie and Chelsea are doing I don't know what, but you know they're having fun doing it.
I'm just glad I'm over that stupid bronchitis. I was so sick I couldn't even take care of Fred. I also had Influenza A.
