Changing of the guard

We packed sister Lynnea off to the airport Saturday for her return to Denver. On Sunday afternoon, Suzanne's mom, Carol, arrived. She'll be here for a few days, perhaps through Thursday. So we're getting lots of helpful help.
Suzanne had a very low white blood cell count Friday, but it's back up today. She actually had some energy on Sunday. Today's results showed her red blood cell count has dropped, and her energy level dropped with it. It's a bit of a roller coaster. Speaking of which, she also continues to have some nausea when she cuts back on the anti-nausea medicine, especially when driving on the permafrost-sculpted surface of Sheep Creek Road.
Thanks to everyone who has been supplementing our evening meals. We've got a bit of a surplus at the moment, so don't worry if you need to skip a week for which you've signed up. We won't starve. Far from it.
Louise got a job at the Division of Forestry warehouse packing firefighting equipment. Yesterday, she came home after an 11-hour shift covered in soot from cleaning and rolling used fire hoses. Working fires is always a gamble, but the weather is going to be hot for another week at least, so it's lucrative business for the time being.
