Update from Fleming Rd.

We've made it through another week without any drama, from where I sit, that's progress, hooray!!  Bill is embracing rehab, it takes a lot out of him but he is enjoying the challenge.  He goes about twice a week for three hours each time to Frazier Rehab at the Jewish Hospital in Dupont.  Already we can see progress.  We are still not sure about when he will be able to get back to the chemo, he has to be stronger so they can knock him down again.  I guess we want that to be sooner rather than later, but I wonder.  

We have had a good weekend, did a run through St. James, and saw a few friends, that was fun.  Both of my sisters were in to visit as well as my parents and the girls, so it has been busy.  We're hopeful that if all goes well, we will make a visit to the Garvin Gate Blues Festival next weekend. That's one we have always enjoyed and if Bill is feeling up to it we would love to make it.  Maybe we'll see some of you there.  

We're taking things one day at a time, which I guess is really all you can do given the circumstances.  It has been so nice to visit with so many friends through all of this, many of whom we had not connected with in years.  I think you really do begin to look at things differently.  I always thought that was cliche but again, just something else I have learned  through experience.  

Thanks to all of you who have sent Bill emails recently, it's so nice to hear from you, and it is a great way for him to practice his cognitive skills.  As always, it's great to hear from you and we appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers.  I'll keep you posted, hopefully from home.  Holly
