OK, this is officially no fun. Bobby's hanging in there really well, but is exhausted, achy, queasy, itchy and pretty much miserable. We could both really use a 4 hour nap. The good news is he's successfully completed 10 doses and is about to start Dose 11, if the labs are ok. There are a bunch of things they check for, but right now we're watching the creatinine, an indication of kidney function. If it goes any higher, we'll have to skip Dose 12.
My friend Bev came by yesterday and we took a walk to the Vanderbilt bookstore to buy Bobby a t-shirt (not just a souvenir, we managed to underpack, which never happens!), then had lunch at McDonalds, which is here in the hospital. I thought it ironic that McDonalds would be the one commercial eatery in the hospital, but it works for us since my dad happened to give us some gift cards before we left Tulsa. Bev graciously took our laundry and is bringing it back today. It's amazing how God takes care of the smallest details - He provides just what we need, so often blessing us in unexpected ways.
Love, Juli

Juli and Bobby,
Praying hard for those labs results! And for God to bring rest to the weary! Hang in there,
Lynn
I'm amazed at your strength...but know that a four-hour nap would be such a gift to you both. That's my prayer, right now..along with test results that will allow more treatment. Love you both,

Bummer. But you guys truly are incredible. Hang in there and feel the prayers being said for you both.
Hopefully, I'm sending this about 30 minutes before the next treatment (1:30 CST). That would mean the the kidneys were going to allow for the next treatment. That's the specific prayer for today. Your friend, Kyle
