As night fell today we watched masses of crows swoop over the rooftops towards their night quarters. While watching we thought of our son Mark who loves crows as we do.
Tomorrow is an important day for Peter. Dr. Boyd will be doing a bone marrow biopsy to determine if the chemo took. Peter and I are understandably anxious. Please send your healing thoughts his way.
The last few days have been up and down. Peter developed a mysterious infection on his right shin about a week ago which has gotten more and more angry looking and has spread. The Infectious Disease team was called in. An ultrasound and MRI ruled out a blood clot or common infection. We are hoping by tomorrow the mega intravenous antibiotics Peter is getting will bring some relief. It is very painful to touch and when Peter gets up. Walking makes it better. Go figure! Could be an inflamed muscle.
Our friend Vicki who is an acupuncturist stopped by on Friday and showed us two acupressure points on Peter's foot to help energy flow [ he can't have acupuncture at this point]. I work on the points several times a day and we are amazed to see how the inflammation recedes temporarily each time, bringing Peter relief. Thank you Vicki!
It's late....11:30. Time to go to sleep. So long for today.

I send healing thoughts. How wonderful that Vicki stopped by. All the wonderful support is the testament of your and Peter's gift of friendship to all whom you meet.
Thanks for sharing the pictures of your birthday and Peter's smile and for the stories of the love that surrounds you. I love you both and have faith you'll be drinking that lovely chilled wine soon!
I'm hoping that this mysterious leg infection has abated with the treatment. I'm sure Vicki's therapeutic touch helped unblock energy meridians. This is just a temporary bump to get over on the road back to overall better health. The mind is the most incredible of all healing tools.
As always, Gregg's and my thoughts are with you both and we send you our love.
"Nosotros somos contigo!"
Daddy, du würdest sagen, ich sei eine Pfeife und hast sogar recht. Ich muss noch mehr spanisch lernen :-)
What a beautiful crane.
It must be soothing to look at it swirling gently in the air.
