Ramona's leg (the one that just got radiated) was starting to look pretty normal. In fact, we were just noticing that the radiated leg was actually thinner than the other one.
Anyway, these last two days, the radiation spot started turning kinda purple-ish again. Spotted and purple-ish is rarely good news in any situation, so we went to cancer care to get things checked out. Ramona has also been having slight nosebleeds through out these last couple of days.
Anyway, the blood work came back and Ramona's platelets are 11 and her hemoglobin is 73.
I'm not exactly sure physically how to explain the energy, but Ramona made supper after the appointments. Then we went to cheaps to catch a movie......and we're back home eating popcorn....
So, tomorrow Ramona needs to be at Cancer Care to get the platelets topped up and friday go back to St. B for packed red cells.
Oh ya, the doctors are also adding antibiotics, because the leg appears infected again.
Have a good night,
Earl

Hey guys,
Glad to hear about your supernatural energy Ramona. Still praying for you.
Have you guys heard of an event held april 8 and 9th? check out: http://www.shootforthecure.ca/
it's people who love hockey who have been affected by cancer. (hmm, i wonder why i am sharing this with you? - i still can't get that awesome picture of you two playing hockey as a team this winter! neat stuff!) they have a fun fundraising day for cancer care MB. it is interesting to read the woman's story as well as others. (there is a place for people to share their story). Makes a person feel like they are not alone is this battle.
another note; how is it going with what we talked about - ? Let me know how i can pray or help in this area! Exciting stuff!
lots of love,
laura and chuck
