Another round of Chemo.....

Rick had his third treatment yesterday and it went pretty well. Seven and a half hours, some nausea, but otherwise he is holding up well. His exam was very good except his platelets dropped from 88,000 to 66,000, which is an issue since he needs 75,000 to continue to receive the same doses and if he drops below 50,000, they will suspend treatment. Next treatment is two weeks, and MRI in a month.

He and I hiked for around five miles Monday. He’s on his way to NYC for the next four days with his mother made possible by the Make-a-wish foundation.

Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts

We enjoyed spending the day in New York City with Ricky this past weekend. We had a great day - did a lot of walking and sightseeing. As always, Ricky was cute and kept us entertained!
