Last week, we traveled to Houston (THANK YOU very much to our West Springfield Spartan friends who welcomed us with open arms, Texas-sized hospitality, a fun walk down memory lane, and way too many frozen margaritas!) to visit the world-class facilities and experts at MD Anderson.  We were both extremely impressed with the entire operation there. We will be heading back there for future scans and look forward to working with them as we navigate Kim's treatment.

For those that don't know: Greg has moved back home (and is working remotely) to help support us through this journey. He was able to meet Zeus yesterday! It is wonderful to be able to celebrate his 24th birthday today with him and his girlfriend, Jenny, who is here visiting.

We are happy to report that Round 6 is underway.  Kim's platelets continue to be a perplexing challenge. The doctors have decided that the platelet-stimulating shots will now be administered weekly. The levels the past two rounds have been less than optimal but good enough for treatment to be administered. She continues to amaze the medical staff (and everyone else she encounters along this journey) with her positive attitude and determination.
