6 Doses Complete/Week 2

Nate was given a dose at 3pm Thursday and another at 7am this morning. He had a very rough night sleeping and has decided that he doesn't want anymore. The doctor came in this morning and said that was fine. She said there has been no evidence that having more doses equals a better response. So this afternoon they will start taking him of some of the other drugs and we should be able to go home in the morning. He is very much looking forward to getting rid of the 15 lbs of water weight which is visible mostly in his face, hands and feet as well as getting over the nausea that he's had since monday.

Dear Nate and Deb,
Thank you for your updates. You all continue to be in my prayers. We will certainly miss you at family camp this year. I am going to buy some dominoes and play in your honor this year! Godspeed. Tracy

I keep checking the blog each day. All I can say is WOW. Run over by a bus indeed! I pray for you both off and on through each day, and my group at church joins me in that. God give strength to you both.
Much love,
