Peter's white blood count read 500 this morning and he felt better than he had the past two days. Dr. Boyd who came to see him around 11 wished him a boring day, meaning an uneventful one medically speaking. We both feel grateful that Peter is in her competent and dedicated care.
Heidi spoiled us with a delicious lunch of fresh Chinese broad noodles, fried and wonderfully seasoned as well as her special garlicky Chinese broccoli. Since it was Saturday she had time to sit and chat a while which was a big treat for both of us.
These are not bombs! They are 2 of the many beautiful ornaments by Pandora LaCasse which adorn trees in Deering Oaks Park and buildings downtown at holiday time. Her nephew was taking them down before the squirrels destroy them. We know all about that problem since the critters chewed through several light strings Peter had laboriously strung along the branches of several trees.
This an example of LaCasse's work in Tommy's Park downtown for those of you who have never been here during the holidays.

Go white blood cells!!! We are singing them a marching song by day and crooning romantic lullabies by night. Dear Peter, we hope your day is totally boring medically and full of love and peace personally. Dear Jutta, we are so grateful to you for your notes and photos - and we can see the love soaked into your meals and actions. Much love to you both. Joan and David
That's great news about the cell count going back up!!! Nothing will bring Daddy down! Onwards to full recovery, cell army!
The food looks delish - I wish I'd get spoiled like that!
Interesting looking art in that pic there, Mammy - I do remember the tree thingies when I was there...
I'll talk to you later today.
Much love and big hugs!
Slow and steady. As long as those white blood cells are rallying and repopulating, even if not at a lightning pace, that is fantastic news! I love reading the meal updates! Inspires me to lift my game in my own food preparation!
As always, much love from Monica and Gregg
Dear Peter and Jutta,
We are so happy to learn that the chemo is working for you, Peter, and your whc count continues to climb. We hope the numbers soon well enough to let you go home. We’ve follow your lovely, positive posts, Jutta, and marveled at your daily culinary delights—but still, a hospital is a hospital. This is a tough time for you both, we realize, and we want you to know that we are deeply moved by the grace with which you are facing this challenge. We have faith you'll soon know the best of all outcomes, and we look forward to hearing more good news. Please know that our thoughts are with you every day. Much love to you both. Jackie and Marty
Bonjour Monsieur Graf
parce que tu ne peux pas être en France, j'ai dit "halo" a la France pour toi - pendant la traversée
(Konnte mich nicht melden. War mit dem 2200 Km von ZRH nach Tarifa (Spanien) gefahren. Morgen geht es weiter mit habla bla bla :-)
au revoir
