So far So good..... !


Leah Here.

It is Monday evening and I am glad to report fevers and night sweats have been gone for about 5 days now. We are thrilled! Kent has about two days left on his Antibiotics so we will evaluate when he is done that they will be gone totally.

The other thing that we are happy to report is that Kent has been back to work almost full time. He leaves a few days early when the tiredness sets in but other than that we are grateful that he is back in the swing of things. He is getting around well these days as well. Walking around the island on the cold days and walking around the culdesac and block on the little bit warmer days.

We met with the oncologist on Thursday.  He said that Kent looked great. He asked Kent how he was     feeling and Kent said "I am doing as well as can be expected."  Kent has some pain in the colon area.  we are trying to find out how to manage that the best way we can.  The oncologist did say once the fevers and night sweats go away we will be back on track for starting Chemo again.  He is slated for Chemo on the week before Thanksgiving.  If his white count stays up all the way through 6 rounds we will miss all holidays being on Chemo.  Can we say Ya HOOOO! 

We also need to say a huge THANK YOU to a crew of about 30 to 50 people who helped us put up new shingles.  It was great to see so many help us.  We can't say enough how thankful for we are for all of you.  We had kids, moms, dads, Grandparents and even a photographer.  We don't even know how to begin to repay all of you !

I will sign off for now.  have a great night !
