Richard is Home

Rich came home on Friday evening. He is on prescription meds for the fungus, which he will continue to take until he is completely finished with chemotherapy. He is feeling quite well right now...a little cough here and there, but that's about it. The antifungal med. started working immediately.

We are setting up our house right now - this is my favorite part. This week, we are both taking things over from our parents' houses that we won't need in the next 3 weeks.

Richard will return to HUP on Thursday evening for Round 5 of chemotherapy. I will be there with him from then until he comes home (probably Monday). Then, it's recuperation and "rest up for the big day" time. I'm glad to be soon finished with school for the year. I can't believe it's almost over - even though it was a rough spring, time flew by quickly.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Daphne

Richard will be done with all this chemo and the two of you will get settled and start living your life together! How wonderful! Praise God!
Have fun getting the house ready; I remember how excited Albert and I were when we were doing the same!
Prayers are continuing!

So good to hear you are home for a while, however the fungus is now among us…

Great to hear you are setting up your house, well for you I know your parents are both happy & sad at the same time, but they knew this day would come… After all this is the way of things. 3 weeks can it be! There has been so much in your life these past months I’m thinking you thought, this time would never come and BATA BING here it is. Well hold off on the BATA BING 3 more weeks.
