Gaining Strength

Hello All,

Today is a good day! Earl is gaining some strength back and has probably gained about 10lbs, since his stay in the hospital. Thank goodness, he was really skinny. He looks and feels pretty healthy. He is eating very well, and often. Monday he received an infusion for medicine to help with the bone cancer. He did well with the infusion and was only a little achy Tuesday. This morning he was feeling much better. This is suppose to help rid the small spots of cancer in his bones. He will probably start his next chemo on Monday. He is very optimistic, since the doctor showed us the scan and said the "spots" in the chest are very small and stable (which means not growing). So that is good news. I celebrate life with him each day and am thankful for the little things, mostly just "time". Life is what you make of it and we both decide every day to make it joyful. We laugh often and joke a lot. Love you all, Donna
