Hope everyone had a good weekend and was ready to end a month and start a new one this week. It is hard to believe it is already September. Where did the summer go? The saying, "the older you get the faster time goes" is really a reality with me. We had a very quiet weekend. Michael enjoyed playing Yu-Gi-Oh at Bo's Hamburgers on Saturday and then Sunday we rested most of the day. He is feeling pretty good other than his feet hurting which is caused from the chemo. It is a form of neuropathy. He also has it in his fingers. We have already been to the hospital for blood work. Hopefully counts will be up enough that we won't have to go back for blood and/or platelets. We don't have anything scheduled tomorrow but Wednesday we have a full day. Beginning at 7:00am we have a PET Scan to see what the chemo is doing with the cancer. We hope to have something to shout about! That afternoon at 1:00 we have a CARDIAC scan to check his heart. On Thursday morning, we have a CT Scan of his whole body. Friday is our doctors review of where we are. Hopefully our counts will be high enough we will be able to head home for Labor Day. He will have another NPlate shot for platelets before the next round starts and will have to wait for 5 days after the shot to start the chemo. We are hoping and praying that they will give the shot either Friday or Saturday morning and then we can have 5 days at home. God is good and we know he is working His miracle in Michael's life in His own time. Will write more later.
