More Adventure and Some Wonderful News

I started thinking about composing an update a couple of days before Mother's Day pointing out how smoothly things were going. The day before Mother's Day I was more tired than usual and even worse the following day. So much for celebrating my wonderful wife
and the loving mother of our children.

My temp crept up throughout the day to the point that I had go to the ER late that evening, I ended up being admitted for five days while being treated for a blood infection. My existing  line in my right shoulder was removed and a new one placed on the left.

In the meantime, the oral medication was not helping with my cancer, so I was switched to another. Unfortunately, that one is not working either, so I'll be starting a six round cycle of IV chemo in a week and a half.

All of this has left me weak and easily fatigued, and a bit discouraged at times. Nancy takes good care of me and reminds me how far I've come. I couldn't do this without her.

There has been some very good news recently. Luke and Audrey are engaged and planning to wed in October. We're so delighted for them. He's asked me to be his best man, so I need to get my strength and stamina up for the trip to Dallas and all the festivities.
