Day 6 of chemo was much like the past few; in a nutshell:
0930 - wake up and then fall back to sleep
1100 - wake up and eat breakfast
1200 - leave for oncologist appointment; realize it's lunchtime already
1330 - blood work and IV fluids - blood workwas good, neutrophils (one of 5 type of white blood cell that is used as a marker for overall white blood cell count) was 1200 per cubic millimeter (1500-2000 is normal). So, she's just below normal, but not quite to the >1000 mark, which is considered to be low.
1615 - leave Travis AFB hospital, drive back home to get ready for her Biochemistry class (tell me that's not ironic)
1815 - finally wade through traffic and make it home; class starts in 15 minutes and is 45 minutes away...
1900 - arrive in Redwood city for her class at the Berkeley satelite campus
Now it's 2045, and she gets out of class at 2130. So meanwhile I took Mom on a date to Starbucks nearby ... don't tell Christie.

Dear Ryan and Christie,
You have been in my thoughts, in my prayers, and on my heart since your mom called on Monday, Christie. Your blog is so encouraging (it just took me a little while to find it!) It so apparent that your greatest weapon in fighting this monster is your faith in our living God. He is the great physician and the healer of our bodies and souls. (keep doing the treatments - He uses those too!) Be assured of our prayers that God would restore you to complete health and that He would hold you in the palm of his hand throughout this whole journey.
Love, Ana for all the Perrys
It's Sunday - thinking and praying for you. Love you, Gahgee
