Two more days, and then Lynn heads out for the sixth and final chemo session. By this time Wednesday, the whole series will be done. She got the go-ahead from Dr. Blair Friday. Her blood counts are down, but not so much that she cannot go ahead with the procedure. They also are not as bad as they were two sessions ago, which is certainly good news. She is still pretty fatigued, so that is something to be concerned about. Part of the trouble is that she is not able to sleep well at night...hope fully, once this last routine is out of the way, and when there will be no more upcoming ones on the horizon, that will be a big help in that respect.

Mac and I are off for MLK Day on Monday, so we will take Carlee to daycare, then take Lynn to the hospital. Since Dr. Blair was able to streamline the procedure somewhat, it is likely that Lynn will be out on Wednesday, instead of having to hold off until Thursday. Susan Mathew will be by on Tuesday; she is going to stay around for a few days and help out with the kids and to visit Lynn. My sick time just reset for the year, which is a good thing, since I can now spend some of that kind of time taking care of Lynn and the kids if necessary.

I'll try to be a little more timely next time there is news. Right now, the big thing is to get through this next phase and knock out the lymphoma for good.
