Overdue Update

Sorry, I've been very busy but that's no excuse. Here's a quick update on Heath.

Heath went into Mass General last Thursday to start another round of chemo. This is the second round of Ifos/Etop that he has had in Boston. It kept getting delayed because his platelet count was too low. The radiation that he is getting is an area where there is a lot of bone marrow which is causing his counts to stay down and not recover. He was done with the chemo last night but they were going to keep him in the hospital until his radiation treatment today at around 1:30PM.

Heath has about 10 more radiation treatments and then he is finished. He should be home on the 15th and I know he is very ready to come home. This is one big step towards his cure. He will need more chemo at Moffitt but I'm not sure of the details. Keep praying for Heath's healing and that he is healthy enough to fly home on the 15th.

Also, Heath's grandmother was admitted to Manatee Memorial. I don't think they completely know what's wrong but keep her in your prayers as well.
