So much has happened durinig the last month and a half, that I hardly know where to begin. The first round of chemo, outpatuent, was completed in August and Jim got a break because of Labor Day. Because Dr. Ansari did not want the chemo to extend over a full weekend, the chemo started a week later that we anticipated. Jim felt really good that week and we even spent about 4 hours at our newly acquited lake cottage. Chemo started the second week in September and Jim tolerated it just fine. Ten days out, however, he developed a strep infection and was hopitalized for 6 days. He was not a happy camper. Nobody likes to be in the hospital less than Jim. Nothing suited him and I was glad when he came home because he was not so crabby. He had a bone marrow test last Thursday and we will get the results tomorrow.
Things are good at home -- many thanks to the Saint Joseph High School teachers for their meals. Thanks to our sister-in-law for her meals and for walking in the leukemia for Jim. The blood drive held in Jim's honor was a rousing success. The students, staff and faculty donated 54 pints of blood. Chris Bishop did an outstanding job s the coordinator.
Please keep praying -- we have many bumps to get over before we are back to our normal routines.
