Noon - Thursday April 7, 2011

Well, it seems the superman cape I've been borrowing from Ed lately is getting a tad threadbare in a spot or two - mostly from overuse I guess.  I slept in today and didn't go to the shop or get up and do anything!  I can't rememnber that last time I was horizontal at 7:30 in the morning, but today was the day.  It felt good and I'm hoping that we will both have more relaxing times ahead with a steady treatment course and fewer roller coaster rides for a while.  Ed was pretty tired at the end of the day since he didn't nap yesterday at all, so he slept from about 6:30 PM and then unfortunately woke up around 3:30 and had a hard time going back to sleep.  But he layed quietly for a long time and then insisted I not get up at 5:15 and go to the office like I usually do.  It felt good!!!   Ed's fever was very low grade this morning - only 99.3, so that's good progress - not even enough to take Tylenol.  Seems that things are on the upswing and that feels really good.

We have not much on our schedule the next 3 days - Ed is home waiting for Lisa to come and draw blood and change the PICC line dressing today and then he'll probably have Tyler bring him to the shop for a little bit.  I'm here at the office and will get my taxes done late this afternoon, just in the nick of time, and I'm looking forward to having that off my "to do" list.

Hopefully the weather will brighten up a tad for the weekend and we'll get some use out of the new patio furniture that Tyler and Ed picked up yesterday - it will feel wonderful to sit and visit with friends and family in our own backyard! 

Hope you all have a smooth and productive day!  Come see us if you're in the area, even if it's just for a few minutes - we'd love to see you.
