Hello Everyone,
Well, I am sitting here at U of M drinking a nice warm Café Mocha and listening to my iPod. The day went well, met with the doctor and we are starting to show some positive trends in the blood but still have a long way to go. (Positive Trend in Blood Numbers is GOOD! :)
Tammy stayed with me most of the time but had to bug out to take the kids to the Dentist. I am waiting for her to return and pick me up.
Funny thing happened while I was receiving the IV. See, I had scheduled a conference call to review a project at work with my development team in South America and while I was conducting the conference call this nice massage therapist shows up and ask if I would like a massage. Well, what is a guy to do, of course I responded yes. So, I am sitting there getting chemo therapy and a neck massage, conducting a conference call with guys in South America, checking my email over the internet with my laptop, and if that weren’t enough the nurse shows up to take my vital signs (blood pressure, temp). I said to myself this is a great world we live in. I didn’t skip a beat! See it is all in the way you look at it! The Glass is Half Full!
I want to thank everyone for the continued prayers and support, it really makes a difference.
Until we meet again,
Gary

P.S. Whenever I write it that way it makes us sound like a '50's rock band, doesn't it?
What a great outlook you have! Yes, God is an amazing God, even through the hard times! We will definitely be praying for you and your family as you travel down this difficult road together. Please, let me know when I can bring over another chicken pot pie!! : )

Hi Gary,
Glad to hear the treatments are tolerable... Of course you, Tammy and the kids are in our prayers.
I love the idea of message therapy during chemo!! :) As they say, "it could be worse".
I'll keep checking in on your blog and keep praying for more platlets!!
