Just a quick update on Bryon. He started another treatment cycle this past Monday and received the nasty once a month chemo, Carboplatin. In addition to that he was also well enough to get his flu shot. Now he is suffering from both treatments. In the long run he will be better off, but it is hard to watch him go through such misery just to get back to being healthy.

On the bright side of things, Bryon was able to do some minor retail therapy. We have been without a dinning table for several years and we finally broke down and bought one. It was the Kmart special, but it was so fun to sit together last night and have a french toast dinner at the table. Bryon also got some much needed pants and a warmer shirt to wear under his t-shirts. He gets chilled very easily and this should save him when he goes out for some fresh air. The purchases were needed so much more than we can put in to words. I want to thank my cousin and his family for helping us put these needs to rest.

Overall, Bryon is surviving. He has been able to go places with his family and see people he hasn't seen in a long time. His is very happy with his decision to stay home. Things always seem to have a way of working out and we are very blessed to have things so good in a bad situation. Thanks to everyone for your help and loving support.

Here we have Audrey eating her lunch on the new table! Yum!
