So yet again there was no chemo for Karen this week.  She is scheduled for a blood test on Friday which will tell us what the doctor will try next.  Whether it is an attempt to raise the platelet levels faster or chemo on Tuesday.

It seems like Karen has more energy and is more alert but she says she is still tired all of the time.  Must have something to do with raising two kids.

James is a funny little kid.  I caught him the other day balancing on his head and feet with his hands on his hips.  I wasn't fast enough with my camera to get the actual moment.  There will be lots of funny things that I will swear he did when he's older but I won't be able to prove it.

Rebecca was off of oxygen for several hours this week.  Her levels are much better than they were but still drop a little when she sleeps.  Her cheeks and the rest of her are really filling out.  She hasn't been weighed recently but I'm sure she is closing in on ten pounds if not over it already.

Karen and I are constantly reminded of how much love and support is behind her and our little family.  There have been so many people that have helped and are helping us.  The willingness of people to give a hand, a heart or their prayers has been very humbling to me personally and I can't thank everyone enough for their help and support.

Thank you,
Braden
