A few months ago, Michael and I designed a wristband to show our support in his journey. We have already given a few out to our closest family and friends. We are going to be selling them for $5.00 each. If anyone is interested, please send me an email. We are still in the process of getting a website set up to sell them on. I will update everyone once we have it up and running.
Michael’s day’s in-between his treatments have been up and down. He has been experiencing shortness of breath and at times he says it feels like his heart is going to beat out of his chest. At times he would feel like this just walking up and down the stairs at home. So today the doctor ran the echocardiogram to compare with the one he had last October. The doctor also ordered a chest x-ray to check out his cough. It seems to be getting worse.
On his good days, he would go out to the shop and tinker around with the cars or try to help dad around the house. A few times, our 2 nieces (ages 4 and 2) and nephew (age 2) would talk him into going swimming after dinner. It was nice to see him in the pool. It did do him some good, but he would be tired for a few days.
We have a new nephew (Anthony William) who came into this world two weeks ago. Little guy has pulmonary valve stenosis. He will be having his procedure on Monday to correct it. Please say an extra little prayer for Anthony. I know mommy, daddy, and his big sisters would appreciate them!!
We are coming up on his one year pretty quick. So the plan is to have this in-patient chemo over the weekend and then we will only have 2 more cycles. YEAH… We are happy. We can see the end of treatments. This would have Michael finishing treatments mid to late September He will have all his scans ran again, get those great words that things still look wonderful, no tumor, and be done with treatments. Then we will celebrate!! No big plans yet, I have a few ideas I am tossing around but still need to get with those I am going to be calling on to help.
Day 1 of Chemo~
Again, pretty uneventful. He went down for his x-ray and they came in and ran his echocardiogram. They got his chemo started around 2:00 today. No real nausea today. Just giving the nurses a hard time. He should be finished around 2:30 in the morning.
I will give an update tomorrow. Please continue to keep all those fighting cancer in your prayers.

I love the bracelets. What a clever idea. It will remind everyone to pray without ceasing, for you Michael and the rest of us fighting the dreadful disease of cancer.
Love to you and your family.
God Bless!
