Angie had a relatively good day today with some additional indication that her kidneys are trying to ramp back up. They are worried about her breathing and her risk of pneumonia setting in so they are encouraging her to try to walk when she has the strength and energy to do so. She is extremely tired and has needed to sleep much of the day, but I think this is good for her and gives her opportunity to recover. 

She is on medication that is compromising her immune system substantially so they have recommended to not have any children visit her at this time and also adults with illness that may be spread to her during the visit. I know the no-children restriction will break her heart as anyone that knows her, knows her absolute joy and delight when she is surrounded by the "little ones". In light of this, I would like to suggest any of the children in Angie's life that would like to get in touch with her to use this blog and I promise to read every one to her each day. 

Angie was very touched by the card she received from the sisters of the Ward and expresses her deep love and appreciation for your kindness and words of support. 

Tomorrow she receives her second Chemo treatment, I'm hoping she tolerates it as well as she did the first one.
Stay tuned, more to follow......

  1. Dave, Angie and family! Oh how my prayers are with you! I can see that she still has a little of her spunk! I could see my dad, Dee, or Uncle Dee challenging the nurse/Dr. to a race! It must run in the Coombs family! :) My love and prayers go out to you at this very challenging time, Dave!
