Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ricky had a great Christmas and except for some TIAs, which frustrates him, he's been feeling good, but a little tired from the holidays. We are back at Dana Farber the 31st. Here's a few photos from his birthday and Christmas.

We never could have gotten here without you.

Thanks to you all!

Looking forward to Christmas!

Well, if you asked me a year ago, I couldn't tell you if we'd all be here for the holidays, but yes, we're going to make it! He looks great and we are enjoying every moment.

Ricky's blood counts were good yesterday, in spite of having a bad cold. WBC was 4.29, he had 100K platelets, and an ANC of 2.86. Chemo went good yesterday and he had a stable exam.

MRI is set for January 17th, but we've not seen anything that worries us. The TIAs remain manageable.

I thank you all for your prayers and blessings this year.

Merry Christmas!

Bill

Geez, it's already December 16th!

Just realized how much time has passed since I last posted. Rick has been stable, except for the same colds we all seem to have this winter. Some minor TIAs, but his counts look better each time we test and he is enjoying himself.

We *really* celebrated his birthday December 7th.

We're back at Dana Farber this week and I will update again after our visit.
