Of home plates and platelets
Today Amy went down to have her Chemo treatment. This was her 6th treatment…the end of her second of six months. Unfortunately her blood platelets were too low, so she wasn’t able to have it. Platelets are irregularly-shaped, colorless bodies that are present in blood. Their sticky surface lets them, along with other substances, form clots to stop bleeding. So, she’ll have to wait until next week.
This fall when the kids go back to school Amy will be home alone. She hasn’t been alone since before her surgery and I’m not sure she’ll be either physically or mentally ready to be alone. If any of you ladies are willing to spend part of a weekday with Amy, it really would be appreciated.
The Twins game was a lot of fun and we enjoyed going with Randy and Ben. I have been to several Cubs games in the past, but going to the Twins was different in that they didn’t have a play by play (or color) announcer and without that, I felt the game was not as exciting, but we still had fun!

Hi, Amy, (and Vince and Vincent and Brittany and Trevor and Hope!)
When the kids are in school, wanna scrap? Weds & Fri are good for me- how about you?
Your blog makes me laugh and makes me cry- it was such a relief to hear the 2 pieces of good medical news. It's a great way to let all of us "on the fringe" know what's going on. Thanks!
Love,
Karen A. (Robyn is my boss, if you're not sure which Karen this is)
356-7139- call for a good (scrapbooking) time!!

Hi Vince and Amy,
Count me in for one day a week! You pick the day and I'll be there shortly after the children leave for school and spend the day. I can talk, [ I can hear you laughing at that remark!!], read, study, be silent, OR do some long overdue household chore. I can even mend clothes!! It will be my pleasure to serve the Lord by serving you! When do I start?!
