Not much new to report. The weekend was spent on the couch watching the entire season one of Heroes. The three units of red blood cells that Alex received on Friday gave him a bit more energy but the nausea has been more intense the last few days. We are done with IV chemo for a while and his oral medication for this phase come will be completed on Wednesday. He will have at least one week of no chemo meds which will be nice. Hopefully his body can recover a bit. Once his blood counts are up, he will begin the next phase of chemo.

Alex has been so strong through all of this but I can tell it's been hard on him emotionally. Right now anything to take his mind off of his condition is a welcome relief but he doesn't have the energy to do anything which leaves a lot of time to think and ponder which is sometimes not a good thing so we look for distractions. How grateful we both are for technology. Being able to keep in touch with friends has been a lifesaver for both of us. We love Facebook and Skype.

Gary and the girls arrive in two days and we are excited to all be together again. As always, thanks for the love and prayers!
