Everything went smoothly today in LR with Mike getting stitched back up again. He was told this happens often with patients in his situation, so not to be overly concerned. She said that the tube had pulled out about a 1/2 inch, but shouldn't be any problem working. We are to let them know if we have any further trouble.

I know this may come across odd...but it was so wonderful going to Higginbotham Center today, and having Mike sitting in the waiting room WITH me. We had to wait over an hour to be seen, but they took him back briefly, when they were ready, and he was out of there in no time. I have had too many negative experiences at that place since Mike's cancer returned. For a brief moment I could pretend that life was "normal" again. I was joking with him about it being the first time he rode down the elevator standing. Usually they roll him out of that building, to the car, in a wheelchair.

This evening Mike began running a little temperature, but it has come back down again to normal. He has also been feeling a little more fatigued today. We think it is probably the chemo treatments beginning to affect him. I pray his counts will be good on Tuesday and that we can keep him protected from any viruses or infections.

I praise God for keeping His hand on Mike, and your prayers and support have been such a blessing! Thank you.
