Her day was very much like I described in the last two days except that her walking was limited to ten laps. She was a little dizzy and weak this morning which shortened her overall walk time. They are giving her two diuretics, one of which is Lasik (sp?) and the combination really pulls the fluids out of her but fortunately, she recovers around noon. The continued chemotherapy drug may be impacting the fatigue type issue as well. Overall, I think she is progressing without setbacks or snags.....................................at least for now.
We have talked about her short term, day by day, one step at a time goals with her intention to wean from the oxygen and then the walker. Ultimately, just walking with me by her side for moral support and also being there as a backup.
Tomorrow, will probably see the resumption of the bronc, more frequent doctor visits (as opposed to the weekend), going home education, pharmacist, insulin staff and I am sure I forgot something else.

Dear Wayne and Joy,
Progress is a wonderful word to hear and from what we read in the blogs Joy is doing just that. With all the prayers, support and her hard work hopefully 'home' will be in her very near future. One day at a time .... one step at a time .... words to live by for sure. Bless you both. Bless your team of workers, family, friends and supporters.
Love, Dave and Jan
Dear Joy and Wayne
We are so glad to hear that this week-end has been one of progress without set backs. Joy the struggle to recover is a tough one and if your family and many many friends could do it for you they would. Keep walking and resting and good things will happen.
Wayne, thank you again for keeping up the blog entries. Take care of yourself as well as you are taking care of Joy.
Love
Kitty and Bill
Hi Joy & Wayne,
Sounds like more steady progress. Glad to hear it! Please tell Joy we're thrilled with the way she's hanging in there. At this rate, you may have to get her some track shoes. Best to all,
Steve & Trina
Dear Wayne and Joy:
It is so good to hear that Joy is able to rest on room air and tolerate such strong meds. I know you and Joy must be nervous and exicited about the Home coming date being so near. If it was difficult to get used to wearing shoes again, I can't wait to hear about her getting used to clothes! Give Joy all my love and I'm sending a hug to you as well.
Love, Dee
