I'm at my brother's house showering and then quickly getting breakfast to bring back to the hospital because Ramona is getting hungry. And then I found Jay's computer.......so I'm writing....quite quickly, I might add. Admitting into the hospital Sunday night had no major issues. Monday morning around 8 a.m. they told us that Ramona's hemoglobin was low (84). This would make perfect sense why she had no energy all week. Due to this...from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. it was a process of getting blood. All the procedures from taking blood to do a group and match to actually receiving the two units of blood. This always feels like a long process. Ramona's family was here with her all day, while I went back to Arborg in the morning for a day of work. Ramona slept fairly well this night, although last evening some of the medication made her pretty anxious. We're also incredibly privileged. Last Saturday I called the hospital to see if Ramona could have a quieter room at the far end of the hall. So, they surprised her and gave her the newly renovated 'comfy room'. Private bathroom, free tv and phone, new flooring etc.
For now,
Earl

earl, i think you are such a good husband! i think ramona is SO blessed to have you by her side... i have seen first-hnad how you tenderly and lovingly care for her and i am sure there are a million 'little' things that you do that we never even see or hear about- things like you asking for a quieter room (even though you didn't know if you would get any results from your request) and now she's in the comfy room! she wouldn't be if you hadn't asked... i pray that God will continue to give you the strength and wisdom that you need as you battle cancer (and discouragement and everything else that comes along) with your wife...

ramona, i am also praying for you! i pray that the anxiety will lessen, that you will find hope and peace... and that you will have many reasons to smile today!

may you both be refreshed today by the Holy Spirit!

loving you (all the way from the land of the germans),
dayna
