This has been an exceptionally good and God given day. Most of our counts are holding their own except for our white blood count which is down 1.0 today for some unknown reason. The cat is out of the bag we hear that a couple of 'homesick Olney folks' might possibly be heading northwest this Friday. If our counts get up before then,no one better get in our way when we leave MD Anderson after our Oncologist appointment or a little khaki colored JEEP might run over them. Just kidding. We are ready and if able will leave Houston as soon as the Dr.'s appointment is finished about noon. Depending on our counts, and we are praying they are ok, we will leave Olney after church on Sunday to head back to begin ROUND FOUR (and also the half way point) of our homestead in Houston. We are looking for a good show of the Red Devil doing its thing after round 4. I am praying that it will not have to be postponed for any low counts or fatigue. We will see what Dr. Ravi has to say on Friday. Although, I would love to be home for more than 2 days, I sure want to get this journey behind us and God willing we will stay on schedule. Pray for us as we travel and that Michael will be able to start round 4 on Monday without any problems. The last trip really played a number on him, so hopefully since we are getting to leave at noon, we will be able to stop and get out for him to stretch and walk some on the trip home and back. God Bless you all and thank you for all thoughts and prayer support while we battle this terrible disease. We are already the winners in this with God's help. Love to all, Terri and Michael
