Cute Story

David and Kathy decided to have Olivia, Dave's youngest daughter, sleep over the other night. In the morning when it was time for breakfast, they made oatmeal. When Dave went to take a spoonful out of his bowl, Olivia, seeing that the oatmeal was very hot, decided to blow on her Papa's spoonful of oatmeal to cool it off for him so that he wouldn't burn his mouth. It really is the little things in life, isn't it.

Well, as of today, Dave has been told that he needs to wear a mask when he goes out to the Cancer Center for his injection. The high dose of Chemotherapy that he was given last Friday is about to do its job and knock his immune system down a few pegs. The Nupogen seems to be doing its work. Dave is in quite a lot of body pain, which means that the injections are encouraging his stem cells to proliferate. There is alot of pressure on the bones because the bone marrow is filling up. There will hopefully be some relief when the stem cells are harvested next week, but in the meantime, Percocet is working just fine. Just a few more days and he should be past this step and on to the next.

Happy thoughts are always welcome!!
