We’re approaching the longer than usual Labor Day Weekend, and most of you probably have exciting things planned. Jacqui and I were planning on going on the Hump Hike with our hiking group, the Southern Highlanders, but we have decided that since I may have neutropenia (low neutrophil white blood cell count), it would be best to not risk going out in the woods and getting infection.
We are REALLY disappointed about not getting to go hiking this weekend, though. The Highlanders are a great group of guys that are really fun to go backpacking with. They will be hiking close to 40 miles on the AT this weekend, and we are very eager to get to a point in my treatment where I can get back out on the trail with them again.
As an alternative, we will take this weekend to relax and enjoy everything that we are fortunate enough to have right now. It is amazing how blessed we are by the supporting friends and family around us. Thank you very much for all the ways you help us, and we hope you have a great weekend!
Conserve Energy this weekend...by relaxing. Happy Labor Day!
