Day + 53 Happy Holidays Everyone

Good morning all! Things continue to go well. It is relatively quiet at the clinic right now, but they are expecting a full house, about 20 patients. They are trying their hardest to give all who can Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. Only those who are actively receiving chemo will still have to come in.

We have the next 2 days off. We got permission to go to church Monday night so we will be there at 8 in Nagle Hall. It will be nice to be able to attend church. Tuesday we will have Christmas dinner with Linda, Jim and Heather.

Last Thursday we started home infusion of magnesium mixed with saline. It is a really neat process. The mag comes in a bottle a little wider than a baby bottle. There is a balloon inside filled with mag and saline. After priming the bottle it is attached to one of Peter's ports and he keeps it with him for the next 4-5 hours until the balloon is completely deflated. He will do this on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so hopefully our clinic visits will be shorter.

No movie Friday - it wasn't playing at our theater and we did not go to Southpoint because of the crowds. Guess we will have to wait now until after the holidays.

Today we finish shopping and wrapping presents. Tomorrow we will go to Harris Teeter - boy do we live a boring life - Harris Teeter is sometimes the high point of our day!

In case I don't blog again until after Christmas, I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Thanks again for all your love and support.

Wendy
