Saturday Morning

Wow - what a difference a few days make. I think we have truly hit upon the magic pain relief combination of drugs and timing. For those of you who know him well - Wednesday night he was standing in his closet - putting together complete outfits.. I have not been happier than I was that night in a while. Oh and I cut his hair - he is not losing it yet but it had been weeks, so he is sporting that cropped - almost military look.

Since the last post - he has been knocked back a little by the chemo but not a lot. No nausea medicine needed so far.

Yesterday we also went to get blood drawn - so they can keep track of what is going and again if you know him you know his aversion to needles, but the nurse "Christine" did a great job and got him on the first stick. Then off to radiation therapy we went.

After we went to Mandina's Restaurant on Canal so he could have his shrimp remoulade - this is the furtherest we've been since we started treatment and he wasn't winded or overly tired - YEAH!!!!

He is even talking about playing again - so we are definitely headed in the right direction.

Thanks for all the prayers, support and comments - we truly appreciate them.
