Day 95!!

Well, no picture this week.  Last week he did come down with a cold at the beginning of the week that turned into bronchitis by the end of the week.  Mom managed to haul him reluctantly into the doctor by Friday and after a negative chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia, they settled on a diagnosis of bronchitis and a healthy dose of antibiotics.  Thank goodness for Mom or by Monday it likely would have been pneumonia.  Of course, all those antibiotics have created some nausea and other fun stuff.  But he does seem to be feeling better and not coughing as much.  In the next week he should be going back to Siteman Cancer Center for his bone marrow biopsy and then about a week later we should find out if all this worked!!  

Other than this little hiccup, he continues to do well -- all his vitals are good and steady.  

I'll make sure I have a picture for our next update!  

Keep the prayers coming!  They are definitely working!!

    Thanks for all the updates! There is a lot of sickness going around right now. It is hard to keep everyone healthy at the same time. Tim came home today with it, as it has been going around his office, my work and Stephen is just now getting over it, way up in Michigan. I am hoping that I don't get it, but there are no guarantees! Stay strong Joe, we love you!
