A Quick Update

I hesitate to say it out loud, because I'm so superstitious (knock on wood :)), but Nate did so well during this last round of chemo!!! We added so many new meds that we aren't exactly sure which one (maybe all) made the difference, but whatever it was, we are grateful! One thing I do know for sure is that our prayers are being answered!

Nate was able to work 4 out of 5 days this week. That's the best week he's had since February 2nd when this all began. His employer has been so patient and kind during all of this. Another blessing!

Last night our dear friends took us to the Jazz game for our birthdays, and Nate actually felt well enough to go! We had dinner, dessert, and popcorn and he did great. It felt almost normal! I think Nate might need a break from me when this is all over because the mother, wife, caregiver, nurse, hypochondriac, worrier in me finds it so hard to believe that he feels as well as he claims. I'm constantly hounding him..."Any nausea? How's your pain? Really, are you sure? Don't overdue it! Do you need a nap? Just take one pill, just in case."....and these are just a few of my favorites. He has an amazing attitude, and I'm so thankful!!!

So many good people have called, texted, Facebooked, and visited with us to check on Nate and our family. We consider ourselves very blessed to be surrounded by so many good people. Yesterday, a sweet friend dropped by with a beautiful bouquet of yellow tulips and an equally beautiful quote, "The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring". LOVE it! There are angels all around. Thanks to all!
