Sorry it has been a while since we have updated the blog, but friends and relatives have occupied our time. We left Houston about 12:00 noon and arrived home close to 7:00pm. There wasn't much that slowed us down after we saw the doctor, except or a couple of girls in the Wendy's where we stopped and ate a quick burger at the Woodland in bikini swim suits. Thought I would never get the Wolfman unstuck from his chair. I don't know what this chemo has done to my son, then a plane crash near Midlothian, TX which has tried to land on the highway and slipped off onto the shoulder into the grassy area in our lane. Our chemo has been delayed three days for this round---Michael will be getting a $30,000 shot on Monday to keep the thrush down and the throat from swelling. When we left, our doctor was trying to get it approved through out insurance company and finally did that afternoon as it was on our appointment schedule when we arrived home. It is nice not to have to deal with the insurance company as Dr. Ravi and his staff have done all of it. Chemo will start on Thursday, so we will have to decide when the next time we will get to come home depending on lab results. Michael's platelet count was still below 100 and hopefully has rebounded above 100 since we left Houston. He spend the better part of the morning with his best buddy, our pastor, Bro. Andy making his leases in the oilfield. Michael says he is learning to be a oilfield hand.
We will leave Olney in the morning about 6:00 am and head back to Houston for ROUND 4 of Chemo and the halfway point. Will have scans done after this round to compare to the last one done after ROUND 2. We have had one tired boy, but the love and hugs we receive when we go home are well worth it. We went to don antonio's for breakfast on Saturday morning and had a ovation when we walked in from the customers and prayer warriors who meet on Saturday morning. Michael thought that was neat! Continue to pray for us and pray that our scans show another big improvement and that Round 4 will be a little easier on Michael We love all of you and hope to see you in three weeks.
Love,
Terri and Michael
