We had a great weekend, mostly relaxing at home with some family in town. Chris's mom Kathy and freshly-graduated brother Kevin came out for a visit and a rafting trip up north - led by Danny, brother-in-law-extraordinaire, plus got to see Meredith and Natalie. thanks for coming out! My blood cell counts have been increasing, so although I had to miss out on rafting, I did get to do some normal things like hitting the fruit market and even our neighbor's BBQ.
Another special treat for me last week... I got to see Leigh (+ hubby and their very very cute baby - cute-photo proof below) after her 100-mile ride, and Amy LaRue took the day off work to hang out with me. Those are the kind of priorities I like!
I'm still on antibiotic infusions for that bacterial infection I got, so that means daily trips to the hospital. Once I'm back to normal, I should only need 2-3 hospital visits per week... but apparently I'm not quite there yet. Now we're just waiting for my blood cell counts to get back up, so we can start Round 2 of consolidation chemo. It sounds like it will still be a few weeks, though.
In the meantime, I've taken up knitting a scarf (thanks, Mimi). I think the technical term right now would be "pot holder", but hey, knitting is not a race!
With Amy (holding Leigh's baby, Emily) and Leigh.
love,

Hi Hillary:
Sorry to hear you have had a few bumps in the road lately. 2-3 trips a week to the hospital is a good week? Jeez, 2-3 showers in a week is a good week to me. Your outlook and strength make the rest of us feel inadequate.
Keep pushing and stay positive - hopefully you are getting all our positive vibes through blog-land.
