The holiday is over. Kristin has gone back to Canada. Steve and I are spending today just crashed out - in jammies and slippers!
Steve's doing really well: He's gained more than 14 pounds since stopping chemo and feels great. He really enjoyed the visit with Kristin - we saw "My Fair Lady" at the Peace Center, shopped, explored downtown Greenville and just generally spent time together. I was so glad that he was up to really enjoying this time with her.
Round 2 of chemo starts on Thursday. The oncologist said they would make some adjustments to this round, so hopefully he will not have as serious side effects as he did before. But at least he knows there's a light at the end of this tunnel and he'll be able to be back to his normal self (permanently) once we get through the next six weeks.
I'll update after Thursday, but we are both keeping a real positive attitude about this last leg of the journey! We couldn't have made it without you all.

Glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving, and you are right, there are indeed many things to be thankful for. Hang in there. Know that people are thinking and praying for you both.

Hi. Just caught up with your Thanksgiving post, and I wanted to send along a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed reading it. I've been checking your blog about once a week to stay up-to-date. Glad the tough stuff is in the past tense.
I especially enjoyed the photo gallery. That is a beautiful photo of you and Steve. He looks great, and YOU look amazing (love your hair)! It was also nice to put faces with the names of the kids.
Anyway, take care. And please tell Steve we're thinking about him and looking forward to the day when all of our friends are ship-shape!
Good luck Thursday.
Take care,
Joe
