Hello to everyone. Mark is doing well and had another good day today. He went for a 3 mile walk this morning which he hasn't done in quite some time. Later, he went for a hair cut and then to the office. His chemo hasn't caused him to lose his hair, but it is thinning and the texture has changed, so he still requires haircuts. His appetite is good, but he still has tummy issues that he has to be careful about.
We spent this evening at Calen's first basketball game. It was a nail biter. Calen's team was down by 2 points with 0.2 seconds left in the game and Calen was taking the buzzer shot from 3 point range and got fouled. So, with 0.2 seconds left, he gets 3 free throws and nails all 3 to win the game. You couldn't have asked for a better ending (at least from our team's perspective). Mark was extremely proud and took the kids out for ice cream after the game.
We lost our long time companion Sam today (our cat of almost 15 years). We got him right when we got married. It was very sad to lose him. We had to break the news to the kids and they took it very hard. Both boys were tearful and helped Mark bury the cat in the backyard.
Mark still has 5 more days before round number 6 of his chemo. We're hoping they're all as good as today. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. God bless!!

GREAT Game~ Calen has ice water in his veins. He was so cool under pressure. Foster says if he had to lose, he's glad Calen did well.
It was good to see you. Sorry about your kitty. We lost ours of 20 yrs. recently - I'll tell Foster to mention it to Calen.
Take care and let me know if the boys want to come over. I'll call you later.
