4th of July Weekend & Our Son’s 18th Birthday ~

First, we want to wish our son a Happy 18th Birthday! Today our youngest turned 18. It’s amazing to see your children grow up to young adults. Happy Birthday Michael!! We are so proud of your accomplishments! We love you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you nothing but continued success in your life.

Next, we hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. We had a nice one. A little lay back than most years. We only had a few family members come up from the Houston area instead of our big 4th of July Celebration. We had some great food and a small fireworks show. This year Michael got to “watch” the fireworks. Normally he is the one producing the show for our family and friends, but since he’s in-between treatments, he was not up to it. Our daughter and I got to have fun with the fireworks. I think she had a great time. I must say, it was fun but it is not the same as watching.

Michael is doing ok. He has his moments. He was running a slight fever earlier this week. He is still having the headaches and still has difficulty sleeping. He is still having pains in his back and legs. This time, his teeth and gums are bothering him pretty bad. You can see where his gums have changed some in a few places. Today he is starting to feel the effects of the Nuelasta shot, but so far it’s not too bad. He is in pretty good spirits for the most part.

Tomorrow we go in for his lab work and see the doctor. I will try to update everyone later. We pray everyone has a safe, fun, wonderful weekend. And oh yea and one more time ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!! WE LOVE YOU!!
