YARD WORK ON SUNDAY


Here is a picture of Ted doing what he loves! Yard work.
Tomorrow he is scheduled to go to the oncologist to get his second round of the ESHAP chemo. When he went to the office on Thursday to have his blood work done, they told him his counts are still a little low, so we won't know until tomorrow if he is able to start or not.
The plan is that he will get the chemo Monday-Friday. Then he will have a CAT scan and PET scan and bone marrow test (after another 10 days or so) and then visit with the stem cell transplant team to see how things are progressing to go forward from there with the transplant, which may take place sometime in November.
That's a really shorthand version of what the plan is for now. There will be a lot of waiting to see how things go from here.
Everyone keeps asking me what they can do for us. Ted keeps joking with me to post some recipe requests ... but I told him that he better be serious because we have some very thoughtful family and friends ... and we might end up with 10 casseroles. So for right now, we don't need any food ... really! But we will let you all know if there is anything we need.
For now, please continue to pray with us! Pray for Ted's numbers to be good ... for the chemo to do it's thing ... and that he will fully recover! (I'm Ted Fett and I approved this message!)
