Sorry to be such a fuddy duddy, but you know how it is around the holidays. Bryon is doing well since his last round of treatment. He has a week off and it's a good thing. He needs time to get over another head cold. They seem to hit him harder than they used to, but he is such a trooper. He has done the dishes voluntarily the last tow days and was able to muster up the energy to enjoy an Aggie b-ball game. We have become home a little more home bound since starting a few projects on the house, but we don't mind. The projects keep us busy and it makes Bryon feel like his electrical knowledge has not gone to waste.
Bryon will be completing his speech and occupational therapy this week. After speaking with the therapists, Bryon is very pleased to announce he has achieved and even exceeded his goals set at the beginning of his therapy almost 8 weeks ago. He has improved in most areas by 80% or more and is so close to be considered 'independent' by hospital standards he can taste it with a tooth pick. Congratulations Bryon!
Bryon will start another round of chemo on Monday and have his last MRI of the year on December 29th. If all goes well, he should be able to continue on the clinical trial in 2010. Bryon wants to thank everyone for keeping in touch and sharing your thoughts with him. Believe it or not he does read the blog and is so glad to have this convenient connection with family and friends.
Glad to hear of the progress your family has been making. Here's to hoping this holiday season is a joyous (sp?) one and that the end of the year MRI is nothing but good news!!!!!!
