Back for Round Two

We're back at Akron City for ROUND 2! Arrived at 10:00 a.m. with a warm welcome from the nursing staff. They slapped on his wrist band and showed us to his room, which is at the end of the hall in 714. It's not as big as the "Penthouse" he had before, but very spacious. We are very pleased. They took his height, weight and vitals immediately. He's down 11 pounds from when he first arrived on March 10th. If you haven't seen him, he looks really good.

The nurse just came in and took some blood. We're off to have some lunch then he'll start his chemo early this afternoon. The plan is that he's here through Friday, receiving 3 - 12 hour drips. As of today, feel free to call or stop in. It's the following 2 weeks, when he gets home, that his immune system will be compromised.

Thank you again to our loving friends and family that have made this chapter in our lives so bearable. I am often tempted to list the many wonderful ways people have shown how beautiful they are, but I fear to leave someone or something out. It's amazing how the little things make a big difference. I do want to thank Tim Whims for helping us with the blog. I take a picture, forward it to him, and "POOF" it's posted. Majority of these pictures are from my camera phone.

I will do my best to keep you informed.

Much love,
Mic & Wendy
