A better day!

Part of the routine that I am getting into has me opening this blog, looking for comments and then scrolling down to the blog links in ht e lower right corner. This morning, Mickey's Blog (Days In the Life) had the headline "Great News" That made my morning because, I told me that Cody is doing well. I linked over there and read. Apparently, they have gotten the fungal infection under control, he is finishing up this course of chemotherapy, and they have enough antibodies in stock to continue his treatment.

On the home front, Dad got his fifth of twelve doses of Chemo yesterday. He normally gets his dose on Wednesday but, his medicine has a component that is pumped into his port over two days, and the Doctor's Office is closed for the Fourth of July. So, they started him a day early. Dad is tolerating his treatment extremely well, and I cant say enough to convey how happy I am with his progress.

If I don't post again before Friday, y'all enjoy your holiday, and remember those that sacrificed so that we could be (and remain) independent.

I'm glad your dad is handling the treatments well. I'll keep him in my prayers. You look great, Kirk. You've lost a lot of weight, haven't you.

Thanks GB. I've lost about 5-10 pounds in the last year. Maybe 15 since I started running. Did something the other day that I have not done since before High School. I wore a medium sized tee shirt (had to wear it, but MIL brought the wrong size) It had that tight teenager fit. DW told me I looked better than in high school. It was good to hear.
