Update


The last several days have been great for Rob. His energy is slowly returning and so far...no problems with his appetite. Rob is eating everything and has a HUGE appetite these days. I think we better take stock in Stouffers Red Box because he seems to crave those and our freezer is packed with many Red Box options.


We have had beautiful weather and even took a trip to Brown County State Park over the weekend for a short walk around the lake and a picnic lunch. Rob still tires easily, but it is so wonderful to see him enjoy the days and feel well enough to want to be outside a little.


Today, Rob will head to the hospital for some blood work in prep for the Port placement on Monday. On Monday, we will arrive at the hospital at 6:30am for the surgical procedure to place the port and then head to the second round of chemo. Monday will be a long day for Rob and the beginning of another challenging time for him. BUT - we will also know that he has 2 Chemo sessions down and hopefully only 4 more to go after Monday!


So, we plan to make the most of the next few days before Chemo and enjoy the fall weather.


Life is good. We are living each moment to its fullest and taking advantage of the good days. We are thanking God for the days that Rob feels good and we are thanking God for the healing process that he has already started in Rob's body.


"We live by what we believe, not by what we can see." 2 Corinthians 5:7 We believe in God and his power. Our faith and the love and support of our family and friends will carry us through this time in our lives.


Love, Susie
