Yesterday, Monday the 16th day of August, was chemo day. Bobby always gets his lab work on Sunday afternoon and we hear the results on chemo day. We were especially interested to see what his white blood count was this week because of the three booster shots he received last week. As expected his count was way up and he'd gained one pound. That meant the infusion would go foward as planned except the dose was bumped back up to the full amount. He has one more scheduled infusion and then ?????? His regular medical oncologist has been out of town. He is the person making those decisions regarding treatment. So we're waiting to see what's next.

Bobby is always diligent about "pounding" the chemo into the bone, especially on chemo day so late afternoon we hit the trail. We hiked on Gold HIll which is a hike that climbs up a fire road behind Dominican College (near Bobby's apt.) and has some great views. One day last week he did this hike alone and found a really steep trail...so that's the one we took. It was a warm hike. We hiked for a couple hours and ended up back at his apt. just before sundown and just before it started getting cool. Our glutes and calves were well worked and Bobby was tired. Goals met!!

Bobby still has his hair. There's been some thining but not much. I have a friend at work that said if Bobby lost his hair then he would go bald with him. I kind want to see my friend bald.......... but I don't think Bobby's going to lose his hair. He looks good and feels much better than he did before chemo began. We are very thankful that he's doing so well. There are so many people praying for him. Whatever the next step brings, we know we're covered in prayer.
