Rosy Cheeks and Jelly BEanS!

After Ralph's first IV chemo round, his cheeks are rosy, he is gorging jelly beans, and he is quite talkative with energy that he needs to focus!! He receives chemo for 2 weeks, twice/week then is 1 week off. He also takes steroids for 2 days and an oral chemo for 13 days. Because his white blood count and platelets were low, his port was unable to be, surgically, placed. The plan is to give him time to rebound back from treatment #1 and to give him platelets and antibiotics to place the port during the first week of December. He was able to golf, yesterday, and will enjoy Thanksgiving, with our whole family, today!

As always, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers and support. Those are blessings that we count twice!
