Good morning! Richard is coming home today! The doctors are going to continue his antibiotics this morning and send him home this afternoon. He's ready to come home -that's for sure!
He's been feeling very, very tired and worn out the past day or so from the chemo. Thankfully, medications are able to control any nausea. He's ready to get a couple days of sleep.
On Thursday, he has an appt. with Dr. Andreadis (at HUP) to get one more dose of antibiotics into his Omaya port and his Neulasta shot (white blood cell booster).
Thanks to everybody who made food and/or came and stayed with him during this last hospital stay. It's really nice of all of you to take your time and resources to help us all out. We still have a long road ahead, but we're working through it - one day at a time.
Richard is really looking forward to his good days before his next round. He and I want to start looking at furniture for our bedroom at our house! Our house is coming along - my sister has been instrumental in helping get primer on the walls and trim. It's tinted to our paint colors, so it's really starting to look like a home, rather than a construction zone! We're almost done with primer! Richard hasn't seen the house for awhile, so boy, will he be surprised when he sees the progress we've made!
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support. The road to Richard's remission is getting shorter one day at a time! Love, Daphne

Hey Guy -
"Home Again, home again....jiggity jig!!" YEAH! Time to hibernate a bit, get those 'ole white blood cells re-climbing and then have an "up time" looking for bedroom furniture! How fun! After almost 21 yrs. married, Merle and I got our very first BRAND NEW bedroom suit two weeks again. (know of a bargain place here in Lancaster if you're interested?).
Daily praying for your healing and your spirits.
With Love and Prayers,
Kim and Family
Dear Rich,
Hope the ride home is short and you get that much needed rest you need. Another treatment down. Now keep that pill cup off of the port and maybe you won’t have any more infections??? We continue to pray for you and your family. Whats this about a BEDROOM suit? You are going to be toooooooo tired to even think about that. Just kidding I’m not that old I can’t remember…
Roses are Red,
Violets are blue,
I don't think Rich is not looking for a bedroom suit,
Daphne he’s looking at you…
Love,
Carl & Darlene
