The two most powerful warriors are patience and time -Tolstoy
We are in a period of wait and see. Bob was up early today: he ate breakfast, watched the news, & was able to enjoy a few minutes in the hospital garden. Hours later, he's tired and confused, not feeling well, not fully present, difficulty talking. Sleeping now. He still has pnemonia and a low platelet count, both serious concerns, and the doctors are monitoring his status in several areas as we approach the end of this chemo cycle. Maggie says the amount of medication he takes each day is daunting.
We are pleased and relieved with the doctors report from yesterday, cognizant that Bob's progress is relative, and that we can't even say that he is on the road to recovery yet. Thank you all for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers. He is fighting hard, gathering his strength for the long wait.

Hey, Bob-
You can't believe how proud of you I am. You're really setting a great example with your fighting spirit!
When you are up to browsing the book I left you, I expect to get flak from you about the very NERDY nature of it.
I know I deserve it.
Keep your good outlook, buddy; we are all rooting for you!

Hi Bob,
Sandy and I are going to a remote (no phone or internet!) mountain cabin for a week and will miss the daily updates on your progress. We will be gone, but you will not be forgotten. You are at the top of our prayer list! "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth."
