Tomorrow is blood work day. I will also see my oncologist, Dr. Clark. The neuropathy has been fairly intense. We'll have a "sit down" and see if there is something that will ease this somewhat. It is part of the "cold chemical". I am rather weary of wearing pink and/or black ear muffs. I ordered some "ear bags" - they aren't quite as obtrusive.
Blood work is the big game stuff. The team is working hard all season - then it's time for the championship games. Neutrophils. Platelets. WBC. RBC. Many others. Everything rests on the blood work, that little team that keeps on playing and playing, week in/week out. This team is of critical importance to me. Since I'm shooting from 'outside the paint' (for those of us who lived and breathe March Madness), I am keeping my eye on that board. Every two weeks, I know the goal and I shoot! (actually, they draw.)
Giving God all of the glory. For he never misses the goal.
Love to you all.
Kathryn
I've had Molly's dog, Scout, come for the past two afternoons. She keeps Coco on the run. It's a lot of catch and a great deal of running out in the backyard. Great fun. They keep me laughing. Meanwhile, Molly can finish up her projects for her classes. It helps both of us.

You are shooting way over my head with the doctor lingo and tests. I am keeping it simple. God make her well. Mike
I think I am going to just starting calling you “KTC” for short “Kathryn The Great!” The exclamation point has to stay. It has been a wild week in Searcy and I am so far behind where I need to be … at least in my mind. So, I put everyone to bed and snuck back to work at 11:30 pm for an all nighter. As I fired up the ole computer, I saw a little sticky note at the bottom of my screen … Check Kathryn’s Blog. Now I am all FIRED-UP - not a weary bone in my body and I feel compelled to press a little hard, dig a little deeper and pray without creasing for my friend Kathryn Stephens! KTC you lift me up! Thank-you for sharing your thoughts … both the dark and bright sides of your struggle. - Matthew
Great analogy in your post. After I read it I couldn't help thinking, "There's wonderful power in the blood ..."
Love you,
Lisa V.
