my intention, of course, is to keep everyone apprised of ellen's condition, her day to day life and so on. i am aware, though, that my posts seem to be getting shorter and shorter. the reason for that is simple: every day is about the same.
this is good news.
every day she does a little more in preparation for her release. i took another liter off her abdomen and after that she walked TWO laps around the unit. her heart rate was a little high (she walks a too fast, her condition be damned) but her oxygen was a very strong 94%. she was awake and talked with us quite a bit more, too. we didn't hear her creatnine level today which can be easily interpreted to mean that it didn't change. her blood counts are still low, expectedly, but, all things considered, she is further along at this point after the treatment than during the last course.

Most of us live lives with little change so no apology needed!!

Ryan, just a few words from you about Ellen moving in the right direction are days counted as blessings and bring comfort to all of us praying for Ellen and you! May Ellen's mind remain focused on being healed, strengthening herself, but not overdoing! Ryan & family, remember to take care of yourselves, Ellen needs you all so much!

Ellen- marathons are later in your treatment! Good for you! Continue to be strong. Ryan- thanks for keeping all of us posted. I can't tell you how much it means to everyone to be included in Ellen's treatment. Susie- hang in there girlfriend! Life in Canton is boring- nothing unusual.
Love to all of you,
Debbe
Alright on the laps! Way to go girl! We just got back from a run at the Lake YMCA. Tristan came in first with a 6.20. Joe and I ran with the little ones, Marcus finshed in 10 minutes and something and Maddie came in about 30 seconds later.
Ryan-thanks for posting! Even though we do all check often, just to hear that all is the same is enough.
We are thinking of you always! Sending love and energy-Jen
Hi Ryan, Ellen and Suzy,
I smiled when I read that Ellen walked a little too fast...way to go Ellen!!! I hope you can all feel the loving energy being sent your way and it puts a little spring in everyone's steps.
Love, Sharon
So glad to hear of the of slow steady progress. If I didn't find a post from you Ryan, I would be concerned. Your posts are very reassuring for all of us who read this. I know we all celebrate little strides. Thanks so much for thinking of us, Ryan. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.Love Aunt Nancy
I like the sound of that...may this progress continue.

Glad to hear you are progressing! It is always good to hear good news and I hope you both have been able to rest and enjoy your weekend.
Another win today for Ohio State and another loss for Michigan! Yeah!!!!
