Jeff goes weekly for blood tests and so far so good with platelets, red, and white blood cell counts. He's been put on a course of antibiotics for a possible bladder infection, oh the joys of chemo and the danger of having only one kidney. "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger" - definitely applicable.
I haven't been able to attend the weekly check-ups with VBS madness upon us; however, he communicates my questions along with his own and is very happy to share information, like "should he be out mowing the lawn in the heat? Could he go on the Life Teen up coming trip to Helen for tubing?
Answers:He's allowed to do the things he normally does, but using reason. No mowing the lawn for six hours straight through the heat of the day. Make it more like a few hours in the morning and that's it for the day. Tubing - of course that's fine it would probably be relaxing, so long as you don't have a six inch gash on your foot - wear beach shoes.
Quite frankly that's not a bad idea lawn care chores for when this experience is behind us either - living in the deep South as we do. I'm just sayn'.

The gift of your being at dinner Friday was most excellent! We were really happy you came. I'll get working on that pretzel jello : )
