Starting

Hi Friends,

As I type, I am sitting in the hospital bed that David has been assigned to for his first round of chemo. He is about half of the way through his first day of chemo.

Our oncologist has been working hard on getting the right chemo regimen for David. He has been talking to doctors around the world and together with them, we have started a new chemo regimen. David will be on 3 chemo drugs, and will have chemo for two days every 4 weeks. We will be spending the night in the hospital overnight each time he has chemo so that David can get continuous IV fluids. This is to help protect his kidneys. They also have to monitor his blood pressure regularly. The fun part is that our nurse tonight is someone that knows my cousins very well, so it feels like we are with family. They are also allowing both Rob and I to stay with him all night.

Here his is in all his glory...



Thanks for all your prayers!
-Kim
