Hi Lu!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers and I will definitely give Steve a big

hug from you! He's great, sometimes I don't know how he puts up with me but

thank God he does! He always tells me for better for worse, for sickness &

health! I'm sure he wasn't counting on this when we took those vows!

Well, I finished up with the IV stuff today, the sugar counts stayed good,

the white blood cell count went up - which is to be expected with this, I

just have to call if I start running a fever, etc. They said this should

carry me for 2 weeks. I go back down to 10mg pred tomorrow. They are

calling me in a prescription for something to help me sleep - Oh I can't

wait! My bod is tired but my brain is zooming! I hope this kicks the RP in

the rear for a while - I need a little break. - Ah, don't we all!

I hope you are doing well, is it warm down there? We are expecting a big

snow/ice storm tonight - possibly 6-10 inches of the white stuff with some

ice on top - whoopee!

You take care of yourself girl!

Love Ya,

Patty B.
