Good morning all.....we are doing well here in the big city. Michael has had a good 4 days of chemo....no big side effects other than being a little fatigued at times. This is the first round without hiccups so he is happy about that. They certainly do aggravate him when he has them. Tomorrow we will start watching our blood counts again. Hopefully they won't go as low as they have in the past. We are still getting the Lovenox shot each evening for the blood clot and guess we will until platelets fall below 50. We will be getting fluids only after tonight. This is the last day for the other chemo. Yeah! Round 7 is almost history. We are looking forward to coming home for good. Michael is such a trooper. He has developed a big fan club here in Houston. The nurses and all the staff just love him. They all want him as their patient and they all come by to see him when he is in a room. They have become part of our extended family. It is so neat to be walking down the hall and someone will say "hi Michael and Mrs. Wipperman". Guess with a name like "Wipperman" no one can forget it. Ha! Hope everyone gets a nap this afternoon and ready for a new week.....Love to all, Terri and Michael
