Thursday update..

Ricky has been feeling better the last few days, maybe it's because he's finally getting over his cold (which I now have), maybe it's because he doesn't have six chemo drugs going into his body. Whatever the reason, he has been more alert, speaking a little more and eating without as much assistance as he needed before. Every once in awhile his sense of humor shows up, same old Ricky!

He remains content and really seems to draw strength and blossom when he has visitors. And he has had lots of visitors! We're delighted at all the friends and family that have stopped by and we feel really lucky to be part of this community. The meals that have been brought over to us have been a big help (and so tasty). Ricky got a big kick eating the tacos Tuesday night sent over by Rosie, one of his many favorites on the Wampatuck school staff.

Thanks one more time for the kinds thoughts and prayers!

Big time prayers coming from the Bawabe house! Dan sent you an e-mail asking when we can bring dinner over. Let me know what is Ricky's favorites (or yours and Deirdre's!!) and I'll get on it immediately.

I'm so glad you have this sight so you don't have to keep telling the same stories over and over... I know that can be a pain in the neck.

I'm praying... and prayer works!

Love,
Wendy Bawabe

Great to read some good news. I swear drugs are worse than the damn disease.

Thumbs UP for Ricky!!
