the weekend

Bob had a great day on Friday. Dale & Lynn (friends that go way back)visited and were so impressed at how much he had improved and how great he looked. They said it was like talking to the 'old' Bob (that would be prior to surgery). Unfortunately, he had a headache on Saturday and didn't feel good until the evening. Sunday was another great day. He watched the race that was at MIS and wished he was there! Bob's sister Linda is here from Minnesota and will be staying with Bob for a few weeks. She will help with driving him to Muskegon for radiation, will remind him to take his pills on time and whatever else she can. We are hoping Bob will grill for us next weekend. I told him I would buy the steaks if he will do the grilling! Yesterday he changed the propane tank for me and checked the fluid levels in my car. He really feels like he is getting better every day. He has a headache almost every day, but says it it tolerable most of the time. We are hoping the frequency and severity of headaches will decrease as he continues with radiation. He seems to be tolerating the chemo without any problems at this time. Thanks for your prayers.

Hi Jan & Bob, You have both been in our prayers since we heard the news. The power of prayer and a positive attitude can make miracles come true! A friend of mine was diagnosed in Dec 2006 with stage 4 breast cancer. She is now cancer free. Here is her blog site http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/karenobrien
Lots of very powerful & inspiring messages.
Stay Strong & Believe! Cheryl

Glad Bob had a good few days. I was wishing I was at MIS too. But not this year. Maybe next year. Praying that Bob continues to feel well.

Love and Prayers
