I'm here...he's there...again

I cam home again last night.  Roy will be in Houston until tomorrow when a good friend will bring him home for me...thank you, Walt.

We had a fun week-end and couple of days with Callie and Caleb in Houston.  It was so hot that it was hard for Roy to be out in the heat.  So, we tried to find things to do inside.  Not so easy when inside is a hotel room.  But the kids did good....they had brought toys that they played with while Roy took naps.  They also spent lot's of time in the pool.  And, thanks to my friend, Mitzi, we spent time together with her grand daughter at the movies and her house.

Roy had an appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday.  He was able to get a different medicine for the nausea to go along with his other medicine.  His blood work still looks very good.  The white blood count, which is what they watch closely, stayed up and that's a great sign!  Thank you, Lord.  That has been a major prayer of mine...that his blood count would stay up. 

The most exciting thing for us is that we are more than half way through.  He is finishing his 3rd week and has only 2 weeks to go!  They have agreed to let him have radiation twice a day for just 2 days.  That means we can come home on the 13th of July.  He won't have to go back until about 6 weeks later for other tests to see if the cancer is eliminated...yea!!  Please start praying for no sign of cancer when they do the next tests.

Ryan is in town this week for a superintendents convention, so I'm thankful that I am getting to spend some time with him.  The whole family will be here this week-end for the Ranger games.  We are suppose to go to the game on Saturday.  It will depend on whether Roy can handle the heat...it's a Ranger game...he probably will beable to go.

God is in control and holding our hand.
