Good days--Bad days

BAD DAY:
Yesterday was a bad day. I had trouble breathing and had a fever and that was concerning to me. But I called the Cancer Center and talked to one of my favorite nurses and she said I needed to give myself permission to have a bad day once in awhile. She said I need to be concerned when I have a week of bad days. That was reassuring. But they also prescribed some powerful antibiotics I can take if Tylenol doesn't control my fever. But today has been better. Still don't feel great, but no fever. Okay the health report is over!

GOOD DAY:
Today is Adam's 8th birthday. Greg and I got him a guitar and he loves it! Actually Jake shopped for it yesterday and I think Jake is as excited as Adam. He taught him three chords already this afternoon. Adam is a very musical person and I think he'll really enjoy playing the guitar.

Jake went to a 10th CDA HS Reunion gathering this evening with his friend, Julie. They were bummed because both of them really made an effort to come to the reunion but none of their best friends from high school are going. At least they have each other to hang out with.

We don't have any big plans for the 4th. Emily's family is going camping at the Russell Reunion at Spirit Lake this weekend. We may go to a BBQ tomorrow afternoon.

Happy 4th of July! I appreciate your prayers. Love, Julie
