Holding our own

Tuesday marked the 10th week of the new therapy. It also marked the day that Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. My prayers go out to the family, since we know first hand what he’s facing.

Good news for Ricky yesterday, his platelets went up to 60,000, which means we are able to continue the treatments. His exam was stable, and Dr Herrington remains impressed with his condition. He’s been feeling pretty good, a slight cold last week, and some mild nausea, but very active, eating well and up to his old tricks. He remains extremely positive and refuses to let this stuff get in his way anymore than it needs to. There are life lessons here for us all to learn from him.

Important MRI next Wednesday…………….
