Everything is ALL GOOD, Friends!

First up, Dina...she did NOT have to have her third white cell booster shot!  When she went into the appointment on Monday, they drew blood and her count was 1280 (1500 is normal) and by all accounts her infections have cleared up!  Triple flips, backflips and sky high jumps!!!  (not me!  NO way!  But I would if I could!!)  Great NEWS!

A week ago Sunday, one of my favorite aunts, Elvera (my dad's older sister...will be 94 in  three months) had a heart attack and she also had pneumonia!  Not a good combination.  For two nights they told the family she would not last through the night.  Well, God is amazing in His works..He still needs her around, so she has rallied and is back in her assisted living home.  She is on oxygen and is eating "little" bits and still asking for some drinks.  My dad wanted to see her, so we made a one day trip so he could see her and chat with her.

My cousin Bonnie arranged to have his other sister, Carm come out to Kent and so we met up at a restaurant...Italian, of course! and also saw another cousin of my dad's and two nieces and one nephew.  We had a great visit and so lovely to see these relatives.  It was a long drive, but actually a very beautiful drive home...just a lot of sitting.  We would have preferred to stay over night at least one night, but my dad had an important doctor's appointment the following day and he could not cancel and reschedule it...
