Progress and Graduation

We are estatic! Josh is doing so well. He is not even on anti nausea medicine right now and his counts are good. (that means he has enough white blood cells to fight any infection that might come around.) He got to go camping with his dad and Teddy and his Uncle Justin. For those of you who may not know, once a year our church has a campout for the boys and dads. It is just an over nighter but they love it and it is called Fathers and Sons. Needless to say it was very important for Joshua, he has missed so much now. I was very worried about how tired he would get but he did just fine and is only a little tired today. I talked to the nurse and she said that it might get a little harder for him as time goes on but that this is a very good start to chemo.

Now, on to other great news! Gordon will finish his last class in June and we found out they have a graduation ceremony and he will walk on June 22nd. I could not be prouder of my husband. He has a degree but when he found he needed a secound, in accounting, he did not hesitate. He has gotten all A's except one B. To do that normally would be great, but he has done this during this hard time and never slowed down. He has worked into the night many times to get the assignment done and with all the other worries we have it is just amazing. Please pray for him to find a good job he has worked so hard for it and is so good at what he does. As always thanks for your prayers and you are always in ours.

Hurray for Josh!! I'm so glad it is going well, and he is surviving it so strongly, with limited ickiness.
And kudos to Gordon as well.
hugs from the heat, robin
