2nd Chemo Set For This Week...
Not much to report for this week on the cancer front. I guess that is a good thing! I had labs drawn on Wednesday and saw my oncologist. She said everything looks good except my WBC count is low at 1.5. They want this number above 4. This wasn't too surprising as I was told it would bottom out sometime from last Thursday - Monday. They will recheck this before chemo on Wednesday.

On Thursday I met with my Radiologist Oncologist for my 4 week follow up. Everything is good as all my symptoms from radiation are gone or improving so he released me from care for now. I am set for chemo on Wednesday as long as my WBC count is up.

Friday I took Devin to his Endoscopy appointment. They didn't find anything. The doctor said everything looked good. He is making a referral to a Urologist. I'm hoping they can get him in soon as the abdominal pain comes and goes which makes it hard for him to work.

Prayers:
1. That my WBC count is in the normal range so I can have my 2nd round of chemo
2. That Devin can get in to see a Urologist this week

PS. I didn't have a pic for this blog so instead here is one of my favorite flowers

  1. Lori: So glad you are feeling better and are on the mend. I have no doubt that your white blood count will return to normal. Maybe Devin’s pain is because of something his body doesn’t like: gluten, lactose, broccoli, etc? Ask him to think about what he has eaten before he starts getting pain. It could be a simple fix in his diet.

    🙏 Father, I thank you for your amazing love. I thank you for all the things you do for us. I know that you want Lori and Devin to be healed so they can be at their best to work with you and praise your holy name. I thank you and claim these and all things in the name of our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Father I also ask for you comforting Kylie and loving her with your great love and grace. She is your child and I know you will encourage her and guide her in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen 🙏

    I chatted with Sandra today (Young Living and Mary’s right hand lady). She had not heard anything about your health battle. I gave her the gist and gave her the link to your blog.

Meet Lori Atkinson | Back 2 Nature 4 Health

 

I am a country girl, turned city girl, turned suburban girl! My family and I have settled in the pines of a quiet suburban neighborhood after living in the city for the last 12 years. We purchased our dream home and are slowly making it ours. Most days you will find me hanging out with my very gifted and talented daughter, helping to run multiple family businesses, hanging in the yard with our rambunctious dogs, or hanging poolside with my husband. My favorite hobbies are researching healthy living and nutrition, spending time outdoors, drinking hot beverages, lounging in the sun, reading, watching tv/movies and crocheting. 


Eight years ago, my life changed in an instant. I was involved in a serious car accident. I was left with pain that started in my chest, went down my arm and into my hand. In the days that turned into months after this accident the pain left me wiped out both mentally, physically and turned me into an emotional wreck. I felt hopeless, like I was spiraling out of control and I didn’t even recognize myself anymore.


One day, I was introduced to a product that a lot of people are talking about lately. I was skeptical that it would help. To be honest, I’d used a similar product in the past with no relief. Why would this time be any different?


So this time I did my research before purchasing. In fact I spent days researching all the options and companies out there that offered this product or something similar. In the end I landed on a company that was set apart from its competitors. They were different in so many great ways. I was desperate for a solution so I ordered.


Now, my life and my families lives are dramatically different. I used to have to put on my game face and press through the day all the while I felt like I was dying inside. Not anymore!


Now, I’m fearless. And I’m on a mission to help a whole lot of people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself and my family. Because I believe that, "Once You Know Better, You Will Do Better!”


How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and you wound up feeling as bad--if not worse--than when you started?


It's time to get off the wheel and finally start experiencing your best life.
