My new hair



Greetings everyone! Well, it's day 3 after chemo 2, and I'm doing pretty well. Did a complete circle walking in my neighborhood today (maybe 1 mile). Just a few minutes ago we had to go to Northside to get a shot of Neulasta because my white blood counts were very low on chemo day. This makes me susceptible to infection, and without the shot I may become ill and/or not get my next chemo on time. All in all, I'm doing very well. God is so good. I'll be down and out of it for the next 24-48 hours because the injection I received will cause alot of bone pain, which means I'll be on pain meds. At any rate, I promised you guys pictures of my new hair, so here it is. It's fun to have it - sort of like dress up!

Love you all and thank you for your continued prayers. Speaking of prayers, the woman I met at check-in at hospital this morning shared a prayer request with me and Rick. She had a preemie baby in January who is still in the hospital. His name is Ryan. Her name is Indra. Would you please pray for them. He's undergone a couple of surgeries already. Indra said God and prayer has carried them through all of it. Thanks so much! R

We like it! Thanks for continuing to share your journey with us. Yes, God is good and He does love us. I would love to come over tomorrow, Mon (or any other day) to sit with you and be your "bell-answerer" if you could use the help. I'm available:)
Love,
Carolyn
