Updates

We are so very thankful that things are still moving along in a positive direction for Bill.  He began taking temodar, an oral chemo treatment, a little over a week ago, and so far so good.  He has not noticed any side effects up to this point, so we are very hopeful that this chemo routine will be much less invasive.  He will take the temodar in 14 day cycles, on 14 and off 14 for as long as he tolerates it, if it seems to be working.  He is scheduled for his next PET scan and Dr. appointment in April.  So, until then, we are trying to get back into a "normal" routine.  
He has been officially released from rehab and is trying to get back into a regular exercise routine at Lakeside again.  It has been so nice to see the friendly faces of our  "exercise buddies" and everyone has been so welcoming.  We are looking forward to spending time there this summer.  

Currently, we are gearing up for the St. Patrick's Day festivities, as all good Hibernians should be.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate a little more this year (not that standing in the cold rain for hours isn't fun) but a sunny warm day would be nice.  So, if you're looking for an afternoon of fun, keep the St. Patrick's Day parade in mind.  March 14 at 3:00 at Baxter and Bardstown Rd, everyone is Irish on parade day.  We would love to see you!

As always, thanks so much for your continued support and positive thoughts.  Keep in touch, Holly
