Good evening, everyone! Richard is still feeling more like himself. The results from Mondays CSF culture did not show any bacteria, so it looks like his infection is completely gone. His counts are looking good right now.
We are still working on the house to get a lot done before Richard feels bad again. It's coming along, but not without roadblocks. Things just can't go smoothly for us - we're starting to get used to it. We have started saying, "Well, this is another example of 'our luck'." However, we still end up the "winners" in the end. Not much can stop us from accomplishing what we want to accomplish.
Dr. Andreadis plans to admit him to HUP this Wednesday, May 2nd for his 4th round of chemotherapy. This will be a cycle B. I was able to take off on Thursday and Friday this time to be with him. We are hoping with a Wednesday admittance, he'll be able to come home on Sunday. This cycle is a shorter cycle, but then he has to wait for the drug called "Methotrexate" to flush out of his system. When it gets to a safer level, he's allowed to go home. This cycle really knocks out his platelets, so we will be keeping a close eye on them when he comes home after this round. Richard is not looking forward to be back at HUP already and then feeling tired again, but he knows he has to do it.
We still need prayers!
Love, Daphne

Dear Rich & Daphne,
So happy to hear you are feeling good again, and are able to take advantage of your good days. Also happy to hear the infection is gone. Now Rich, you already know what I’d tell you about that “LUCK” statement.
Well off to Hup Wednesday round 4 that is both good and bad at the same time. I do want this to be over for all of you and this is the only way it seems to be over… Be assured, we are continuing to pray for you and your Family.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Hi Richard & Daphne,
Always glad to hear from you. Just came home from our anual Church Spaghetti Dinner. Needless to say, I am stuffed! It is our biggest fund raiser of the year. Sure looked like they served a lot of people.
Well Richard, is this the treatment that begins your countdown. For your sake I hope so. We are so very proud of your stamina through all of this. You are a real trooper! I would love to see you before your next round.
I'll give you a call first, if I think I'll be able to do so before Wednesday.
God bless you.
Love & Prayers,
Aunt Helen
