Today was another good day. Derrick's mouth felt a little bit better, but he still has no voice. His blood cell counts were up again today which is a really good sign, so tomorrow they will be stopping three of his antibiotics! For lunch he tried to eat some Italian ice and applesauce, and for dinner he had a couple bites of mashed potatoes and a half a can of soup! His taste buds are still off, which is really frustrating for Derrick because we all know he likes to eat! I think tomorrow he is going to try and eat a little more starting with breakfast. He just has to work his way back little by little. I knew Derrick was feeling better today, because for the first time he turned the TV on himself. You might think this is silly, but for the last three weeks, Derrick didn't want the TV on and he wanted the blinds closed to his room. Today he actually even looked out his window to the view below. He napped a lot again today, because they gave him a new anti -itch medicine for his rash that works really well, except it also makes him sleepy. The doctors continue to be impressed with how well he is doing.
This same God that takes care of me will supply all of your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Now glory be to God our Father forever and ever.
Philippians 4:19-20

It's great to see Derrick's counts are up. I hope his mouth feels better soon. Thinking about you and Mindy in Ephrata.
