Birthdays

Not too much has changed since the last post. The new chemo is pretty strong and requires 4 shots a week in order to help Josh’s bone marrow produce white blood cells (so he can fight off infection). So, Gretchen has added giving shots to her long resume of nursing duties. Josh will have another dose of chemo tomorrow. Please pray that the chemo attacks the cancer cells, and that the blockages will clear.

In an attempt to keep a sense of normalcy in our lives, we had a busy weekend. On Saturday Jake had another soccer game and then Gretchen and I took the kids to the Tucson Children’s Museum. They were hosting a special bug exhibit (Jake loves bugs!) where the kids were allowed to touch and hold certain bugs. We also got to try out some of the other things the museum had to offer. I’ve posted pictures of the day.

On Sunday we had a mini-celebration for Crystal’s and my birthdays (I turned 23 on the 7th and Crystal turns 18 on the 12th). The family got together for dinner and cake at Josh and Gretchen’s house.
