From Holly: Teresa is feeling really tired today. She's just received her last dose of daunorubicin which is good as it leaves only the cytarabine. This will be given until Friday. Despite the edema and fatigue, she did a total of 1 mile walking on the treadmill. After the Lasix, she's shed about 6 lb. and is much less puffy. Her nausea fluctuates, so no, she hasn't eaten much. The main thing is fatigue. She wanted me to apologize to folks who came or called about visiting. She just wasn't up to company, but really appreciates the thoughts and hopes to feel better tomorrow. While she was semi-awake, we finished watching the movie about Bob Dylan (loosely), I'm Not There. Can anyone explain it to me? I don't think she missed much by semi-asleep during it. But then, I was never a big Dylan fan or Sixties scholar. Now, Cate Blanchette--that's someone worth watching.
We both want to wish our dads a Happy Father's Day. We had planned to visit my family in Lawrence, KS for Father's Day, but will postpone it until all those tornados stop whirling about in the midwest (and in Teresa's stomach!). I miss you, Dad, and love you very much. Yes, I will call later. Happy Father's Day, Henry. We're thinking of you.

Teresa, I'm glad to hear you felt up to walking today. Riding in the car to the hospital and walking through the tunnel was a challenge for me today. Usually, I have to moderate my pace so I'm not running away from Deb. In the tunnel, I had to ask Deb to slow down once I realized I was hyperventilating trying to get enough oxygen to keep up. I am happy to feel well enough to be out and about though struggling to keep up with Deb underscored that the healing has a ways to go.
Here's a link to a photo book I made last week. There's a copy coming to your house.
