I am so happy and praising JESUS for the dramatic drop in Jack's ferratin level. About a month ago it was nearly 3200 and now it is 988. The goal is the normal range of 18-350. Then we can start spacing the phlebotomy treatments a bit farther apart.
Mary, I still have a few daylilies, some snapdragons, so called annual dianthus which return and multiply annually, sweet peas, Angel's Trumpet & Jimson Weed, a few mums already, some New England asters, Suprise lilies, annual Balsam(?), hardy hibiscus, hostas, morning glories, and some others I don't remember blooming. Due to the rain shortage this summer the daylilies have done very poorly this year.
Tonight is BSA again. We'll be getting the report on the parking lot and get plans for the campout this weekend. Shad's mother is going with them on this campout and will take him home with her until Monday evening. I'm going to meet them up there at one of the WalMarts and use my Smiles card to get the last photograph package of this year's card. It expires 9-6. We don't have any family pictures of Kris and the children so I thought this would be a good chance to get one. I hope her husband will join them but she said she's sure he won't. Why are so many men like that? It's as though they deny they are part of the family.
By the way, Mary, how is the horse's leg(Breezy?)? Did the cold packs help? I've been praying for both of you.
GOD bless and keep all of you.
