Almost done with the third round!

Hello Everyone!

I'm very happy to report that things right now seem to be getting better for dad daily, thank God.  He still hasn't caught that steady "break" that we talk about from time to time....so we are thinking maybe this might be it!? At any rate, he doesn't have to go back down south until next Monday the 27th, which will potentially be his last check in before his three week rest period.  He didn't need blood products either on Monday, and his numbers are climbing back up.  All good news! Very tired, but able to go to lunch around town and run a few errands with my mom here and there.  No longer on neutropenic status but still has to be careful around germs and potentially sick people.  He was feeling well enough and was such a good sport last night that he let my mom fill their house with all kinds of family to celebrate a joint birthday party for Nicole and Aubree (Remember? I told you it was birthday season!)

Here is a picture from the night Aubree was born two years ago.


Dad has never been a fan of hospitals - not that anyone is, but what I mean is that he typically doesn't choose to go there to wait - he would rather wait at home and come when needed.  By the fourth grand baby between Nicole and I, he was more comfortable in this setting than ever and was so proud to come, to support me, and to love on this precious baby.

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers - keep em comin!  I pray daily and thank God for everyone who is praying for my dad.  We really appreciate your thoughtfulness!!
