It's a rainy day in NE Aabama. Cool but not unplesant. Everyone here is doing better. Keith is getting stronger every day and everyone is releasing the tension we felt for several days.
I think I posted that Keith's path reports were good. God showed us mercy and allowed us to go forward with happy hearts.
I don't have anything much to write about so I thought that I'd attach this little ditty that I received in email this morning. You may have already seen it a hundred times but here it is anyway.

Mary - wasn't sure how else to write you. I'm lucky - I only had to have the folic acid for about the first year and then my body seemed to start working and taking care of the iron by itself. So I just have B-12. I started out getting the shots weekly but now once a month seems to keep the levels about right. I am always low on B-12 but the doctors have determined that is what is normal for me. People usually have no idea what pernicious anemia is when I tell them about it. I remember shortly after I was diagnosed in the early 1980's, there was a big news blast about Elizabeth Taylor suffering from pernicious anemia due to B-12 shortage when she was on Broadway in Little Foxes. I felt so blessed (lol) to know I had the same thing as Liz. How impressive was that. And yes, the shots will be with us until we give up this mortal body. But that's an easy price to pay.
