Today was a long day of waiting. The doctors came in this afternoon to give their report: Considering his condition upon entry at Stanford, Bob has made good progress these past two weeks--actually, as good as they could have expected. His last dose of the heavy chemo bombardment cycle will be tomorrow, and then we must wait a long couple of weeks and see what's what.
We all let out a big sigh of relief today. Even so, there is a difficult road ahead. Bob is weak, has had trouble swallowing, and has lost a great deal of weight, so that is being addressed. He actually was able to eat a little real food today---a big step.
So: strength and nourishment and love: that's the plan.

Hi you Guys, Without Bob to assist me with the computer stuff, it has taken me this long to figure out how to post a comment!!
We are with you in thought & spirit and will be there in the flesh whenever the call goes out - as in, Bob needs some scotch for his IV.
Love you all so very much,
Pam (& Steve)
You see - without Bob's help, I have become 'anonymous'. Pam
Dear Mr. Leach,
I arrived home from Croatia a week ago. While I was there I water-skied every day in the Adriatic. The water was NOTHING like the glass on a Wednesday morning at Huntington Lake in fact it was down right bumpy. I skied through the strong swells and fear of great whites scooping me up with their jaws as i was pulled behind a zodiac not exactly the 'Great American Skier' ski boat that I was used too. But I did it... and that is because of you...and all of your hours spent in the freezing waters in the early hours teaching all 4 of us Taylor kids... and my dad... how to ski!
Stay strong Mr. Leach... even when the water is cold and the swells are big. My thoughts and my prayers are with you.
Love,
Morgan
hugs, kisses and well wishes.
anne, will, sophie, billy and ollie
