Richard is still feeling fairly well. He went out for a few hours today and said hello to some of his friends at work, including his boss. He also went and ordered some plumbing fixtures we need at our house. This evening, he and his dad are working on hooking up our washer and dryer at our house. We better watch out - he's getting his hands in a little bit of plumbing work!
On Monday, Richard got a "push" of chemo. into his chest port. It's just a part of his treatment schedule. He also got some CSF pulled from his Omaya for another culture. The doctors at Penn. just want to be sure the infection is gone. This coming Monday, he will go down to HUP for a follow-up exam with Dr. Andreadis. The doctor is expecting to readmit him for Round 4 next Wednesday, May 2nd. Richard feels like he just got home! He's not really looking forward to going back, but what can we do? We have to keep shrinking that tumor.
Thanks to all of you who continue to leave comments on the blog. We look forward to reading your thoughts, prayers, well-wishes, words of wisdom, humor, etc. It keeps us all "in the loop."
Have a wonderful evening!
Love, Daphne

It doesn’t take a plumber
To hook-up a washing machine
Hey Rich,
Don’t even think the washer hook-up is a plumbing job, that’s something a janitor could do…
Now let me see, you have an extra hole in your chest, an extra hole in your head, and you are practicing plumbing with the hole in your head. Maybe you should start with the one in your chest, but what do I know.
I think I have an idea what “OMAYA” means it’s I-trawel-ian for I gots an extra hole in mya head. Maybe not??? Don’t report me to your Gumba Dominic.
Hey keep that tumor shrinking and your great sense of humor. We love you and are continuing to pray for you and your love ones.
Who loves ya baby,
Carl & Darlene
So glad you are feeling well!
I love that you have this site for updates! Stay strong!

I cant believe I had to go with Richard and show him how to hook up a washer and dryer...I think his brain is Chemoed out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW ABOUT DOING SOME DUSTING AROUND THE HOUSE...i HEAR IT HELPS CURE CHEMO BRAIN.........ALSO DISHWASHING CLEANS THE SKIN OF UNWANTED CHEMO ON YOUR SKIN
The washer hook-up was a success. I just used my new washer and dryer tonight while we were over at the house painting. It works great! Thanks, guys!
O MAYA.....you hooked up a washer and dryer all by your self :) Remember you are suppose to put the pipe dope on the pipe not in a pipe :)
Glad to see you are up and about. Rich watch out it sounds like Daphne is getting ready to play "June Cleaver"....watch out "Ward darling".
Sunday is suppose to be a beautiful day I hope you will feel well enough to get outside.
The festerheads were hoping to touch base with the neiners this weekend but I am recovering from bronchitis so I do not think you need my germs. Little buddy wants to know if your candy stash is holding up for you? I think he is trying to hint to me that his needs filling.
Take care....love to all
The Festerheads xoxo
