Today is Karl's birthday! We'd love to have you send your best wishes by commenting on this post.
As an early birthday gift, last week Dr. Scheutze postponed Karl's first of four rounds of chemotherapy until Monday, Oct. 27. He didn't think anyone should have to spend their birthday all day in the infusion suite. As it stands now, Karl will have chemo the weeks of Oct. 27, Nov. 17, Dec. 8 and Dec. 29. He will receive the exact same medicines as before, will lose his hair all over again, and will undoubtedly be pretty weak. But there's a silver lining to every cloud...this will hopefully kill any lingering cancer cells and after it's over, he can concentrate on physical therapy and getting back to work.
The renovations at Mom's house are coming along well, thanks to Jim Hook, Wally Burr, Gordie Greiman and Dave Mull. Thanks for everything!
Blessings to all,
Kerry

Hola amigo!
We're late for the b-day wish, so ours are for a whole, happier year!
Gary is finally finished with his radiation, and his hair is just coming in. Yours looks quite a bit longer than his in those pictures, Karl, but the good
"h" word isn't "hair," rather "health!" ...that's what we're growing.
Say "hi" to that great group at the Med Inn for us.
Thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.
abrazos (hugs)
gary and sue
