The new round of chemo started Wednesday with spinal and IV doses. Wednesdays chemo was followed by erwinia (via harpoon) on Friday. Luke slept most of Wednesday and seemed to be doing fine Thursday.
Having a week between the end of the last round of chemo the beginning of this round Luke's blood counts came back but they are still lower than normal. Luke will be at MDA for chemo Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next few weeks. Will just wait and see how quickly and how much chemo drops his counts. We think Dr. Wells has given up on getting Luke's hair. Luke's hair thinned out but he is no where near being a cue ball!
Luke is taking a steroid during this round and that has already improved his appetite....who knows he may break the 140 lb. weight barrier. Thought the crawfish was over for the year but we dropped by the Ragin Cajun Saturday and they still had some.
Luke played at Rudy's again on Saturday. Chemo had little impact as he played straight through from 6:30 to after 9:30. Buffy and Eric had a front row seat. Don't know if Luke is going to play again at Rudy's next Saturday.
Model building continues. The air brush painting and detailing are getting pretty involved. The current project is a WW II tank PJ sent.

Hey, honey, I am so very proud of you and your strength through this process! I was hoping and praying that you'd get through this next round in good shape and, so far, so good! I can't say "you amaze me," because you already have on so many levels and on various degrees. I have worn my Luck Feukemia bracelet every day and every night since receiving it in May. Keep strong and feel all of the love coming your way from Missouri. Surely, there is a beam of light in the sky down south coming all the way from here!
