Things have not changed much over this past week. Carmen is doing very well. Her blood counts are dropping a little, but that is expected. Carmen loves reading, baking, sewing, coloring, and doing puzzles. She keeps herself very busy every day doing these activities. We are hoping to have a home health nurse access Carmen's port, so we do not have to go into Oakland every week to get her blood checked. I love having Carmen home with me. We are both enjoying the blessings that we have so much. Carmen is not sad, and does not feel unhealthy or unlucky. The hardest part for her right now is understanding why other people might feel those things for her. We are so grateful to all of you for all of your support. Keep praying!
