The Journey Continues: Short update.

It seems like I just posted about a Dr.'s visit.  These weeks are blurring together on this journey.  For now Richard will be seeing the Dr. at least once a week on Wednesdays.  Blood work will always be on this day and sometimes other days.

This week Richard's blood count was down again.  I think it is the same as last week which was 800. Normal is between 4000 and 12000.  He will be receiving a shot today and tomorrow and more blood work Monday.  He is able to do this in Enid though.

The Dr. reminded Richard to stay out of the extreme heat, to wear a wide brimmed hat and to use sunscreen when outside.  They took him off of one medicine and lowered the dose on another.  He is still tired after work but seems to be gaining strength. 

Thanks again for all the prayers!!

1 Chronicles 16:34

New International Version (NIV)

 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
   his love endures forever.
