Getting By With A Little Help...

Sinatra meet Blubear. Blubear meet Sinatra.

Today was another great day for Sinatra. Sinatra woke up cheerful and full of energy. We were very active today and able to do many of the exercises that the physical therapist wanted us to do.  Sinatra's blood counts came back good, in fact her ANC jumped from mid 600's to 1044 which is very good.  We also got a special visit from our friend Blubear, the therapy dog, while on our daily 100 laps around the 5th floor.   

Since we didn't have chemo today and things were good and uneventful it would be nice to share with everyone how much all of the support from you (our family, friends, coworkers, nurses, doctors and complete strangers) has been.  It is almost impossible to describe in words how much of a positive effect your support has had on us.  We are overwhelmed (in a good way) by all of the offers for help, words of encouragement, stories of similar experiences and helping hands of the people close to home.  We have never imagined that there would be an outpouring of support like this.  Please understand that you have touched our family and we appreciate it immensely and will be forever grateful!
