Home Again, Home Again....

Jim and Trudie are home!!! And, the good news is, they should be able to be in Waxahachie for almost two weeks!

It was touch-and-go whether they would get to make the trip or not. Mom's platelet count has dropped significantly over the past week and we weren't sure if she could receive her chemo treatment on Thursday. Blood work revealed that the platelet level was too low. So, instead of chemo, Mom, Dad and Sheila hit the road for Waxahachie this morning. The doctors have decided she should take an extra week off to let her body rebuild and recuperate....so no chemo until May 20th. Mom has done remarkably well throughout her four months of heavy-duty chemo. Shows just how tough she is that she hasn't had to take a break from it before now. The doctors are still very pleased with how she is doing, and blame the chemo for the low platelet count.

Please continue to pray for Mom's health and healing. If you are in the Waxahachie area, please just give Mom and Dad a call before stopping by to visit. And, don't be asking Trudie to juggle swords or carving knives......with a low platelet count, it could get ugly!!!!
