We had a busy appt schedule today and when we got to have the chemo pump refilled Robert was chilling and running a fever so no chemo refilled. We will meet with the Dr tomorrow to see what the plan of action is. We came back to the Lodge and I put the electric blanket on him to keep him warm. He did eat some supper but wasn't very hungry. He is in the room in bed. I'll let you know what we find out tomorrow.Bev White wrote a nice note to us and also let us know that Jerry's name is on the Memorial Tree that is in the Lodge. I took a picture of it. It was nice she let us know so we could look it up while we were here.Robert received a John Deere quilt from a wonderful friend from home. He loves it and is being kept warm with your love and warmth. Thanks Friend!Thanks also to the friend that keeps reminding me about my birthday plus 5 months..... We celebrate the 22nd of every month! What a gal! The treats are wonderful!!!!!!!!! She will be that OLD someday!Keeping all of our sick friends in our thoughts and prayers. Karla, Janie, Galen and anyone else that needs the extra prayers. They do work. Love, Roxie and Robert

Sorry to hear about the fever Robert. Hope it is better today. It is a pretty day here today. I am waiting for Spring and all the beautiful flowers and trees to bud out. We are still praying for you and can't wait for news that your heading for home. There is no place like home. Love You Both Hermaine

Robert's fever broke during the night and he ate a good breakfast but is up in the room resting as we have appts @ 12:00, 1:00, 3:00 and then 4:00 if they put the chemo pump back on him. We will know the results of his blood work when we meet with the Doc.
They have a Big Bell in the radiation department that people get to ring three times when it is their last treatment. It says:

Ring Out

Ring this bell
Three times well
The toll to clearly say

My treatments are done
It's course has run
And I'm on my way!

Robert's last treament is suppose to be March 11th so I ask everyone to have their bells ready and please ring them 3 times to help us celebrate that this phase is over! I'll try and remind everyone on March 10th.

Today is laundry day, we even have to do that chore up here. The machines are in the basement so I get plenty of walking in between that and the tunnels.........
Love to everyone! Roxie
