Today is Saturday but it is a clinic day for me. So waiting to go back for my magnesium infusion. Dave will hook me up for my antibiotics at the same time. Both infusions take two hours so doing them simultaneously saves time!I am doing better.

My appetite improves each day. I can walk farther than I could last week. I am filling my time with some crafts for some grandkid’s Christmas gifts, reading, music and Scrabble most nights.

Right now we are cheering our Houston Astros on as they play the Philadelphia Phillies for the World Series Championship. I have always enjoyed playing (softball) and watching baseball. It has been fun to follow the Astros. They are a great team!

This week some big changes are ahead. Only two days to clinic, the IV antibiotics are done on Thursday and our daughter Amy is coming to give my wonderful caregiver David a few days break. He is going to get what he calls windshield time and explore the Hill Country of central TX. He hopes to get in some bike riding and hiking and just time away from the intense past few months of caring for me. We are very excited to have Amy come for a few days!

Today, Sunday, I walked around the bigger lake. We named this bigger lake- Lake Annie and the smaller one- Lake Helena after our two youngest granddaughters. The distance is 1/3 of a mile. Not a huge distance but quite a milestone for me!!! On his bike ride today, David saw six turtles at each lake sunning themselves. There are also white herons on the lake. We know God’s got us. This road is long but the Light is shining and leading us each day (sometimes each hour). Thank you for your love and prayers.

We feel both! Kay
