Wednesday Eve: Patience

.
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. 

He now has a fire truck photo from his beloved Huntington Lake Volunteer Fire Department.  Thank you, Lisa.  I don't have that photo, but I do have another of the firehouse, so I'm posting that to get you in the spirit.  Our brother Peter has been traveling extensively on business lately, currently in Paris, and he wants us to know he is wearing the HLVFD  T-shirt in solidarity.

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.
