He originally said 4 cycles so we are praying that the cancer has remained stable and he can take a break for awhile. What a wonderful Christmas that would make! Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. |
I'll be praying for this too!

I don't understand why they couldn't just give him the platelets today. Ken turned 60 today and since he was feeling ok I had the kids come over and my sister and her husband and we had a little party. Ken is a very shy person and not much for parties but he was touched. He said I haven't had a party since I was a kid. I know all your prayers are helping us both go through this. |
Happy, Happy Birthday, Ken! 
WooHoo! 
Praying that all your Birthday Wishes come true!
