August update + A Big Milestone!


Chemo at the the local hospital this week.

Sweethearts

The posts are spaced out and not made so often because our life is in a routine without so much excitement. Chemo every Tuesday: rest and recovery until the next Tuesday! For 2.5 more years. Back to Arkansas every three months. The next visit is Sept 19th.

Deb is still in remission.

Now, the big news! Deb has finally gotten off the strong pain killers! A year ago she was taking (3) ninety milligram oxicotins a day. She has worked so hard and endured the awful side-affects of reducing that med and has amazed her medical staff by her desire and endurance in this painful process. So, kudos, congrats, and hats off to Deb for her accomplishment!
