Monday ............May 4th

Over the weekend Charmaine has been so very weak she could hardly get up, with little appetite. Sunday morning we called the clinic and spoke with one of the doctors about this. She said the weakness should start going away today and it has. This morning she was able to eat a good breakfast and has been up for most of the day and even felt like visitors.

A very dear friend to us both, Cheryl Williams, came by and spent the morning with Charmaine and let me go run some errands. Thank you Cheryl for your visit. You always give her the lift she needs to make it through the day. Thanks for the notes you have sent her.

David and Jo Marie McLendon came by for a while as well. We miss them so much since they moved to Blue Ridge.

This afternoon at 4 some of her old friends from church are coming to see her. I have her resting up now so she will not get too tired at once.

It has been so nice to see her up and feeling like moving around. I think she will get better as the week passes on.

We go back to the clinic for lab work on Friday. We'll find out then when we check in for 3rd round to start.

I want to thank the Maulding family for their kindness during this time. These are very close friends of Charmaine's from Paulding county. Thanks for the food it was great and for other acts that have helped make our life better.

Thank You Russ and Jane Parker for your visit and for the food. It was good to see old friends again. Russ your kind words to her when you were leaving helped a lot.

Seems now the mental stress is taking a toll on her. Pray that God would give her the peace of mind she needs to fight this fight.

More later......................

Charmaine had a very good day on Monday. Had lots of visits and saw some of the kids and grand kids. Was able to stay up all day and had good appetite.

Tomorrow will be an even better day.

Thanks to all.
