Wed. November 1

Good Morning - I attempted to blog you all last night, but had some "dial-up" issues trying to use the laptop in the room, so here I am in MGH's wonderful resource room having much more success. Yesterday started out good for Glenna - she was feeling pretty good, but as the day progressed, she felt worse. The nurses loved all our room decorations (thanks for all the great stuff, Court) and some of the nurses joined in with the spirit of the day. But we were disappointed that we didn't get any kids visiting. So we had tons of candy to pass out to the grateful nurses. Auntie Jeanne and I wore festive clothes - which cheered Glenna up a bit (she actually smiled while rolling her eyes at us!) She has had continued treatments, until this morning. They decided to skip the 7 a.m. treatment, as her blood pressure is an issue again. They are working on getting it up so she can get her 3pm treatment later today. She is having a much appreciated shower right now, so that will make her feel good.

Beacon Hill was in full force Halloween mode last night. As Jeanne and I walked back to the apartment, we strolled the neighborhood - what a sight! Being the Halloween nut that you all know I am, I was thrilled at the sights. All the beautiful "old" houses really did it up with the decorations and music and festivities. The carved pumpkins were spectacular. I wish Glenna could have seen it.

Well, onward and upward. I'll get back to Glenna now. Sending my love to all of you. Thank you all for wanting to be here and sending your love. And thanks to Andrea for the delicious bread. You were very sweet to bring it by. Until later, M.K.
