David's hemoglobin was up a little today from his last count. That is encouraging. The nurse said that he may have hit his low for this round of chemo. It has been explained to us that the side effects are like a see-saw. Up and down. Usually, they try to time it so that the next round of chemo comes when his body is the healthiest that it can be. We are hoping that he will start to feel somewhat better and start to sleep again at night. I am quite tired as I haven't been sleeping well since this whole ordeal started about a month ago.
We are all fighting off colds...including David. It seems to be going around. Even though we are handwashing fiends and we aren't going anywhere to be around people, we have still picked it up. Hopefully it will stay mild and be shortlived.
I am doing my best to keep up with all the housework. So far, I haven't done too bad. It is helpful that Hannah is in school now since that is one less person in the house to make messes during the day. She is really enjoying it, too!
I will leave you today with a quote from a book that I have been reading.
"In the person of his Son, [God] is always in our midst, as the one who holds each and every aspect of creation, including all of its evil aspects, in his hands so that he may carry it to where it accomplishes exactly what he wants."
-from Suffering and the Sovereignty of God by John Piper and Justin Taylor
Thanks for reading.
